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.

Avoid Dr Kristensen
Too quick to get ya in n out as a NEW first time patient. Seen him in M.L and didn't even discuss anything, just wanted to do an injection, not interested in trying to find out root cause or alike!!, to azy, egotistical, uninterested!! Avoid at all costs!!

I was in the office on 3/22/18, the review given to Dr. Kristensen was extremely exaggerated. Dr. Kristensen he asked a patient to leave the office due to her behavior and disrupting his clinic, which i felt was the right thing to do. It was very upset to see the situation brought to the level of involving the police, patient was out of line. I have seen Dr. Kristensen for years and I give him 5 stars for his excellent care and knowledge.

Could not make orthotic inserts that worked for me. He seemed confused about what my feet needed. He destroyed my old inserts by making unnecessary changes to them while I waited for my new ones. Two tries and neither of them worked. He screamed at me to leave his office and trespassed me from the building. His bookkeeper screamed at me too and chased after me once I left the office shouting awful things at me. I felt it necessary to call 911 for a police report. Can't wear the inserts.

Dr. Kristensen is a reliable and very loyal doctor. He takes the necessary time to listen to your needs and give you a treatment plan that works with your lifestyle. I would not be back running again if it wasn't for Dr. Kristensen.

Not recommended. Doesn't want to hear anything about your opinion. Won't listen and very egotistical. A jerk for sure. Was very unprofessional and took him five minutes to inject a foot joint. He couldn't get the needle in without several tries. Horrible skills. Would never go back.
