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. Christensen is the best Orthopedic Doctors in the area.

Dr performed a total knee replacement recently. From the initial visit, the surgery itself, the recovery and post op, I rate this as one of the most positive experiences I’ve ever had. Is there pain-of course. It was surgery and I expected it. Looking forward to getting back to regular routine shortly.l

He was also very rushed. He was in the room with me for less than 3 minutes, didn't show or explain the x-rays with me and didn't explain what he thought the issue may be

Amazing
I seen him when he was in Greeneville TN. He did my Left knee surgery. He had to re-aline my knee cap. He explained everything well and was very active with the after care. He also did my Left shoulder. I had some cleaning up he needed to do he also was very proactive with my physical therapy. We miss this Dr. He left when Ballad health care came and moved in to take over wish he was still here

Still having surgical repairs done to fix what Todd Christensen did. He claims the utmost care for his patients but his work is subpar and his aftercare is non existent. If he listened to his patients, they might stand a chance at getting their surgery done right, but there's just no telling him anything. I trusted him. I believed in him. If I was forced to return, I would have nothing but fear for myself, my health and my mobility.

Just read up on his back ground, moved from Auburn Ca. aprox. 8 years ago, to Tennessee...moved to Grass Valley Ca.....He screwed my husbands knee up, went to our 1st visit in Auburn, asked Dr. Christensen to PLEASE feel this knee implant, it is hot and cracks loudly...my husband and I asked a few times...he just looked at us, did not move. I would like to read up on what others thought of him also, he shortly moved to Tennessee , I wonder WHY he came back, especially to Grass Valley ca. Again, DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

Total shoulder replacement 2012. Couldn't be happier. He did a great job. He also did arthroscopic surgery on my knee in 2000 and have had no problems since. He is a good Christian, I highly recommend Dr Todd Chistensen
