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.

Dr. Christendom deserves a 5!

Great at explaining the condition and options
I made the appointment with Dr. Christensen because he had previously treated my wife's injury and we were both very impressed with his knowledge and communication skills. He takes the time to review the images in advance and was ready to explain the conditions in detail at a level I could understand. He is very good at relating the details of the condition to the MRI and X-ray images. He establishes a high level of trust.

Seen for shoulder pain. Got in within 2 days. Thorough exam, reviewed X-rays with me. Communicated well and explained diagnostic findings and options for therapeutic exercises. Given an injection and follow-up appointment to discuss further options if not improved in 6 weeks. As a physician myself (though he wan't aware of this) I was very impressed.
