Since I meet Dr Christo 3+ Years ago, I have had nothing but excellent service from the front desk (staff) to the Doctor herself. Dr Christo has in all honesty saved my life and I could never be more grateful. Her professionalism, her dedication to the patients is outstanding. I have never meet anyone that comes close to Dr Christo, that is why I would never change PCP... (EVER ) If there is a negative review against this Dr. it is because they didn't have something go their why..

I found her to be the worst PCP I've ever dealt with and the office staff is outright rude. When I first called for an appt and a wellness visit because I had changed ins. co and needed a new PCP I was told she didn't do wellness visits but I could book an appt for a physical and she would see me then. That appt took 6 mos. I called to try and see her because I knew my thyroid med was off and causing me problems and they wouldn't give me an appt right away. When I did see her, she made no effort to take into consideration what I was telling her or even listened to what I was saying about my symptoms. The whole appt all of the 15 minutes she spent with me was ridiculous. I left and immediately began my search for a new PCP.

It is always difficult when you move and are forced to find a new PCP. So much so that I kept my old PCP for 4 yrs and traveled over one hour for a visit. But, the time came to find a new doctor and Dr. Christo was recommended by a friend. My experience was great. I felt so at ease with her and she was so sweet, friendly and a great listener. She devoted so much time to me and my husband. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.
