Reviews
Dr. Christianson listens and provides options for treatment. For example, for significant abdominal pain which I had not experienced in several years, he ordered bloodwork, a CT scan, offered medication and/or a referral to a PT for pelvic floor therapy. I opted for the latter since the medication route has been unsuccessful in the past. The pelvic floor therapy alleviated my symptoms and also decreased bladder leakage. Highly recommended!

Awesome atmosphere. They make sure you are comfortable at all times and everyone has a great sense of humor. Mr. Christensen is Professional at his job and I can’t thank him enough for what he does.
Was diagnosed with Crohn’s 11 years ago been going to facility had to change to Dr Christensen due to doctor leaving, he’s great very attentive
I was very nervous having been a cancer survivor but Dr. Christensen and staff were AWESOME!!! Made me feel at ease and I felt comfortable. Thank you
He has been my physician goal most 20 years. I trust his judgment. I have always gotten the correct diagnosis. He has taken me thru a couple of long illness and cured me. I am grateful for him to be my gastroenterologist.
I initially brought my mother to see Dr. Christensen without being referred to him. I found him to be a professional for an aged Alzheimer's modest patient who did not like to be examined anywhere below her neck. His conversation was comforting and filled with information about the process for this type of examination. I started seeing him as well and have and will continue to refer him to others in need of gastrological examinations.

Dr. Christenson, his nurse, Susan, and their staff are knowledgeable, professional, and truly care about their patients. I could not ask for a better team of gastroenterology providers!! Nellie Gonsoulin
Dr Christensen is compassionate and caring. He really listens and makes me feel comfortable during my visits. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a gastroenterologist. And needless to say he provides excellent care with professionalism, respect and attention. He and his staff are accessible and knowledgeable.
Dr Christensen is so attentive to you understanding what is taking place in your body and what He recommends for treatment. I have seen Him for years He doesn’t take credit for His ability but Holy Spirit will guide Him I am thrilled He is my Dr .
Excellent doctor who has s wonderful bedside manner.
He’s great. Answers any and all questions and explains in detail. Very good bedside manner. Highly recommend Dr Christensen
Dr Christensen was personable and didn’t rush me. He answered all of my questions in a way I could understand. He entered the room prepared. He had obviously taken the time to study my chart and we talked about all of my gi problems. Together, we decided on a plan to proceed. I highly recommend him.
Absolutely the best doc. Very supportive of veterans as well. He truly cares and all the nurses are very friendly as well.
Dr. Christensen is a wonderful doctor, whom have been seeing him for the past 5 years. On my initial visit he took all the time needed to explain everything to me, and was kind, compassionate, and patient. During my procedure he made sure to make me comfortable beforehand and explained the results afterwards. I was most impressed with him, which is saying quite a lot, as I have been in the medical field for 40 years. I have referred several patients to him, and each of them has been pleased with him.
Dr. Christensen is wonderful! Highly recommend!
Always upbeat and professional!
