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.

Outstanding experience!
Dr. Christensen is the BEST! I appreciate his help and the care I received from his team at BGO!!!

Dr Christensen did my hip replacement about a year ago. Dr Christensen was very helpful in explaining the procedure and listened to and answered all my questions prior and after my surgery taking all the time needed to ensure I understood his answers. I felt Dr Christensen always had my interests and needs as his number one priority both before and after surgery.

Dr. Christensen is a very talented surgeon. I was in surgery for approximately 45 minutes and was on my way home after about 7 hours. I have had minimal pain and am gaining mobility more each day. I would highly recommend this surgeon!!! He and his staff are excellent.

Have had hip replacement from a fall and broken femur. He has also done 2 partial knees. All have gone well and I love his professionalism and empathy with you. Also, that he takes the time to pray with you before surgery. That says a lot.

First Hip Replacement
Very well pleased with my surgery and doctor. Great bedside manners. I put my surgery off for several years because I was afraid of the outcome. I will not hesitate when I need my other one replaced. Highly recommend Dr. Christensen.

My second total knee replacement after 9 years.
9 years ago I asked a number of my friends in the Lexington Healthcare profession to give me 3 surgeons they would recommend to perform a total knee replacement. The only surgeon to be on all the recommendations was Dr. Christiansen. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the results and the treatment. When it came time to replace my other knee I chose to continue with Dr. Christensen and his team. It was interesting to see how the whole process has evolved in the last 9 years. Everything from the preop to the surgery and postoperative care has only gotten better. He and his team have my highest recommendation!
