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.

Surgery great; up front insurance info meh
Overall, I would recommend the doctor; great surgery & cataract removal & lens replacement. However, one of the questions we asked up front was about the anesthesia being used, and how it was billed. We were assured by their practice that it was part of the cost, and not separate. ***WRONG*** We just received the *completely separate* bill, "...which are not part of the hospital bill." This happened on a previous colonoscopy too. These anesthesiologists are getting away with this - shame on them. And shame on the practice for not being upfront about it with us.

I switched to Dr. Christie on a friend's referral who had the same previous ophthalmologist; I'm most grateful to her for the excellent recommendation! Dr. Christie has been doing my exams for a family predisposition of glaucoma and macular degeneration for years. He always shows me my test results in comparison to previous tests, discusses the results with me in terms easy to understand, and makes recommendations to promote eye health including diet and vitamins. Dr. Christie also keeps me informed on the status of a developing cataract with assurance it is not necessary to remove it at this stage. Whenever it needs to be removed, I'll most definitely have Dr. Christie do the procedure given his specialized skill in this area and innovative corrective vision lens option. Both Dr. Christie and his helpful staff always exhibit utmost professionalism, respect, friendliness and sincere care. This practice is truly patient centered rather than profit centered and I HIGHLY recommend it.

Dr. Christie was available during the Coronavirus pandemic and helped me with an eye irritation by looking at photos and calling in prescriptions to my pharmacists~

Dr. Christie's practice is only focused on their profit margins. Patients will be told they are borderline for certain conditions that require additional testing, just so that they can bill out for testing procedures. My entire family has stopped going to this practice. We have friends that have worked there that have tried to warn us. We wish we would have listened sooner so as to not contribute to his greed.

I would never recommend that anyone go to Dr Christie. I didn't like the office at all and felt like I was being forced into laser surgery for my cataracts, and . . .he recommended a pre-op laser procedure before my cataracts. No bedside manner, staff was having a bad day and throwing papers down on the desk. Asked my eye doctor to refer me elsewhere. New Dr was much better and made me feel comfortable without laser surgery. Cost of procedures had to be handwritten by me. Only pamphlets

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Christie's for many years. I have had surgery on both eyes for cataracts with replacement lenses. I have found Both Dr. Christie and his staff to be both professional and caring. I would recommend him to anyone.

I have been a patient of Dr. Christie's for quite awhile. I have had surgeries for glaucoma and cataracts. I have never had a problem with Dr. Christie or with his staff. He is a caring professional and I would recommend him to family & friends. Joyce Nelson
