Dr. James Christopher is one of the Doctors out of many that I have seen in my life than warrants and Excellent rating. This is a man who goes out of his way to make sure his patients are well taken care of! I had two undiagnosed hernias for 7 years and Dr. Christopher is the only one who figured out this as the cause of my pain. For me, He and Jen (his office person) are complete and total life savers for me! He explains everything in detail and makes sure everything is understood! He is extremely patient!!!
