He's very kind. Each exam room displays a different example of what he enjoys; trains in one, baseball in another. Makes the time enjoyable. Bobbi is now gone thank goodness.

Our family has been seeing Dr Christiansen for years. He caught a subtle and rare problem with my husbands eye very early, and we were able to have the necessary surgery before any permanent vision loss occurred. He is always willing to take the time explain everything, and he has shown up after hours twice, over the years, for emergencies we have had. His gentleness with children is remarkable. You will never find a better doctor

Dr Christensen is very nice and good at what he does. His office person Bobbi was awful. She yelled at my father becuase he did the paperwork wrong. Then she gave him dirty looks until he left. We will not be back
