Dr Christiansen has seen our children for several years and we always feel they are receiving the best care possible. She listens to our concerns and always talks to us and our child respectfully.

She is not a medical professional, but instead a tyrant over helpless children as she evades proper health diagnoses.

Great doctor, has helped my son grow, advance and excel in school. She has carefully monitored his medication, had consistent followups and been so helpful showing us different ways to work with our son.

This person was rude to me as a parent. She also misdiagnosed my child. She changed his meds multiple times in a two week period but never bothered to speak to me personally.
