Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctor with options
Dr. Christianson listens and provides options for treatment. For example, for significant abdominal pain which I had not experienced in several years, he ordered bloodwork, a CT scan, offered medication and-or a referral to a PT for pelvic floor therapy. I opted for the latter since the medication route has been unsuccessful in the past. The pelvic floor therapy alleviated my symptoms and decreased bladder leakage. Highly recommend!

3 mo. Follow-up from 11.12.24 review
Dr. Christensen and I reviewed the procedures and outcomes done 3 months ago. To date, the medication prescribed has totally resolved a diagnosed issue. He is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and is genuinely concerned with you and your health. He listens to what you have to say, just like a friend, and has a way of discussing things with you that are at your level, and easy to understand.I recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor, or looking for someone new.

Highly recommend!
Dr. Christensen is a wonderful doctor, whom have been seeing him for the past 5 years. On my initial visit he took all the time needed to explain everything to me, and was kind, compassionate, and patient. During my procedure he made sure to make me comfortable beforehand and explained the results afterwards. I was most impressed with him, which is saying quite a lot, as I have been in the medical field for 40 years. I have referred several patients to him, and each of them has been pleased with him.

It was my first visit with Dr. Christensen but not with the clinic. I was very pleased with his attention to my complaints & his treatment recommendations. My problems are not all solved at this point but his actions give me confidence he will get to the bottom of things.

TopDoc
Dr. Christiansen is very thorough in his explanation and his prognosis. He always has a follow up plan to whatever his course of treatment will be and will spend however much time needed to ensure you understand the course of action and the steps/progression of your treatment plan. His demeanor is always courteous and professional.

Hope he never leaves Baton Rouge
Seeing Dr. Christensen is like visiting a friend. He comes in the door smiling and makes me feel that he is happy to see me. He listens to the problems and explains everything in a way that I understand. Been with him for years and surely won’t be looking for a different doctor.

Dr. Christensen explained so clearly what was going on with me that my extreme anxiety subsided; and I sang all the way home and danced when I got inside! He educates you about your condition, symptoms, systems, and/or behaviors such that you have an "AHA!!" moment. It all makes sense! He and the staff are so caring and patient, and are excellent listeners. I trust him and his staff with wellbeing. I am glad to be his patient.
