Dr. Christopher is an excellent doctor. He did PRP therapy on two different injuries that other doctors told me that I required surgery. Friendly, competent, and concerned about healthcare. I'm a Veteran and thankful he take VA insurance.

After breaking 15 bones in my foot and leg and my Achilles heel, if it hadn't been for Dr Christopher, I wouldn't be walking now. He's the most professional knowledgeable Orthopedist I've ever met.

Had an appointment with one of his staff and due to e formation not being relayed to me I did not have my MRI disc.Been in chronic pain for 4 months and when I got upset and complained about not receiving e formation he informed us very rudely that he would work with us but not to insult him or. His staff. Never seen a doctor go from being understanding to downright rude and hateful in a short time. When I said please don’t talk to me like that he through me out of his office and refused service. Now I’m a 55 year old woman with one leg in a wheel chair crying about pain and lack of enformation no cussing or yelling was envolved. Just a doctor with zero compassion or empathy

Ronald Christopher is a sadistic psychopath who enjoys harming his patients. Many patients never fully recover from the harm he caused them.

Terrible experience with him. Not only did he give me a infection, he made my check ups painful and terrible. He was indescribably rushed and overall rude. Not to mention he’s a creepy pedophile looking type guy. DONT GO TO HIM!!!

Dr. Christopher has performed two surgeries on me. A very difficult Rotator Cuff in 2010 and an Anterior Hip Replacement in 02-2020. Both surgeries went very well and I credit this to Dr. Christopher’s surgical skills and professionalism. You will not find a more capable orthopedic surgeon.
