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.

He gave my son his dream back
Dr Christensen perform foot surgery on my son ten years ago. He had flat feet and wanted to be an athlete. He suffered in severe pain with all sports he played. Dr Christensen performed Hyprocure surgery on both feet. It was like a miracle. My son, played High School lacrosse at IMG Academy in Florida and received a full college scholarship playing lacrosse. All of his success was thanks to Dr Christensen and his excellent surgical skills and his belief in my sons dream! I highly recommend Dr Christensen.

After my first surgery with Dr Christensen four years ago I knew where to go for my other foot this year. He is such a knowledgeable, kind and skillful surgeon. I have recommended him to my friends with confidence that they will be pleased with their surgical and other foot issues. The office staff were also extremely kind and helpful during my visits.

Dr. Christensen provided excellent care for my mother. He is kind, thoughtful, and very professional. He made my mother feel very well taken care of and fixed her severe foot issues. After surgery she followed the doctor’s orders to the T and has had a full recovery and her results look wonderful. Her feet haven’t felt this great in years and now she can keep up with her little grandsons!

Dr. Christensen fixed both my baby toes--I'm a runner and they've seen years of pavement pounding. He was extremely professional, knowledgable and kind. His staff was also very helpful in answering my questions. I can't believe there is even a single nay-sayer (I think someone just has a bee in their bonnet!). Dr. Christensen is one of the nicest + most respectful people you'll ever meet. 10/10 I'd recommend him to ALL of my friends, family and enemies.

I heard about Dr. Christensen from friends who said he was a very caring podiatrist. Even though I live 2 hours away, I took their advice and traveled to Amory for my first appointment. I am so happy I chose Dr. Christensen-he is wonderful! There was a bit of a wait because he is so well known, but it was worth my time. He diagnosed my foot problems and gave me ideas to help make my foot problems less painful. His office is beautiful and clean. The receptionist was very friendly and his assistants were helpful.
