We have seen Dr Lora Christian for the past 15 years. She is absolutely the best pediatric doctor ever. She takes time with her patients and their parents. She is a wonderful diagnostician and never dismisses even the smallest symptom as insignificant. She delivers the personal touch that so many drs are lacking these days. She or one of her coworkers are always available via telephone - you leave a message and they call you back. No speaking to the nurse. When my children were very sick she even followed up with telephone calls to my home to make sure they were doing ok. Overall this is a wonderful doctor and a great practice. You schedule your well child appointments. When your child is sick you do not make an appointment. You walk in, sign in and are seen in the order you arrive. Sure there are times when the wait is a little long but it is definitely worth it.

Since our daughter was a baby, we have been taking her to Dr. Christian. We have had multiple visit over the years, for various reasons. On these visits we always have problems with her poor attitude and treatment of my husband and I. She is very nice with our daughter, but very rude to us. She treats us like we have no clue what we are doing. Our daughter is 6, we definitely know what we are doing. Our daughter is very healthy and rarely gets sick, so their are very few needed visits. It doesn't seem to matter weather we are taking her in for a check-up or because she is sick, we are always treated poorly. My husband took our daughter on the last visit and was very upset with her comments on why our daughter was sick again. She displays extremely inappropriate and unprofessional behavior.

Dr. Christian has a wonderful way of talking to the kids and parents- both at their level. The fact you can just walk without waiting for an appointment is great!

We just love how Dr. Christian interacts with us and our daughter. No sick appointments- only walk-in and wait, but we don't mind that. If you go at the right times the wait isn't usually too bad. Great follow-up after sick visits. Can't rave enough about Dr. Christian herself and her bedside manner.
