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.

If surgery can be a good experience, this was!
Total hip replacement. Put me at ease with the office visit and the morning of surgery. I have some drug sensitivity especially with pain killers. But he came up with alternatives. Also respected my religious views. I was able to walk right after recovery with no pain. Now, 6 days after surgery I feel great. Able to move, stand, sit up and sleep without pain. I only need an occasional over the counter medicine. Ten years ago I had my other hip replaced. It took 6 weeks to be where I am now. Great Dr and team and staff. Plattsburgh hospital too was super.

Super hero hip replacer.
Doctor Christensen actually listened and answered of my many questions, which seems like it should always be that way but it isn't. He did an excellent job on my hip replacement and I give him my highest recommendation.
