"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 ."
"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."
"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."
"Saw Dr. Christensen in the hospital - while he is not my dr, he was very good. Great bedside manner - took time to talk to me and explain things and allowed us to ask questions. Very much appreciated his helpful, kind attitude. Would highly recommend if you're in need of a GI dr."
"The staff was very friendly and so was Dr. Christensen. I had a considerable wait time but I appreciated the fact that he sent his nurse in to tell me that he would be in shortly. He explained things to me well. Very personable, friendly doctor."
"This was my first appointment with Dr. Christianson. Not my first experience with the TDDC. My physician that treated me for over 10 years, moved out of state. Before entering the room, Dr. Christianson had reviewed my records. He asked probing questions and listened to my answers. He provided treatment choices and information, some new, some I already knew. Dr. Christianson didn’t push me to try something new. He left the chose up to me. My only criticism was having to wait well past my appointment time which happens when you find a good doctor."
"My office visit was great the staff as well as the physician was polite and very informative. In the past I have referred several peoples to this facility as well as to Doctor Christensen. I am very satisfied Thanks much"
"Very professional and easy to talk too. Would highly recommend seeing him if you are having trouble swallowing food. Also did my colonoscopy, will be back in five years!"
"Dr. Christenson and his staff were very professional. He was not only concerned about the condition I was seeing him about, but also my overall health problems. He listened to my all concerns and answered all questions with great explanations. I would certainly recommend Dr. Christenson to anyone needing a physician of his expertise."
"Dr Christensen is a great doctor. He is very knowledgeable and he cares about his patients. If there is a health problem and if there is any way possible to help you, Dr. Christensen will locate and fix your health problem. He is one of the most understanding doctors that I have ever seen. Because of my many health problems, I cried in his office. He felt so sorry for me that he actually hugged me and he was so sorry about my pain and circumstances. He treated me like I was a member of his own family. I totally trust him to take care of me. I know that I am in good hands when I trust my care to Dr. Christensen."
"I started seeing GI Dr's back in the 1980's & Dr. Christopher Christensen is by far the BEST GI Dr. I have ever had ! His kindness ,consideration & treatment have been nothing short of excellant! I would highly recommend him !"

"After a CT scan to detect a kidney stone, I was diagnosed with mild colon inflammation. I visited Dr. Christensen about a month later to discuss the findings. He made me and my wife feel comfortable about the upcoming procedure I needed and thoroughly explained the reason for it. The procedure went smoothly with no complications and I received a clean bill of health afterward. The initial appointment took a little over 2 hrs from start to finish. Be prepared to wait for everything. Of those 2 hrs, I spent maybe 10 mins with the doctor. The rest of the time, we were waiting to see the Dr., scheduling the procedure, and waiting for the pharmacy. These wait times could be improved."
"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.Christensen is the nicest doctor I have come in contact with in awhile. He explained everything in detailed. Of course you want the person helping you to know what they are doing, but I appreciate being treated well."
"I began to see Dr Christiansen around 2008. I was new to Baton Rouge and all my medical gastro records were lost in Katrina but he stepped in and missed nothing in continuing my care. I find he actually LISTENS to my complaints and addresses the issues with genuine concern and care. He stays on top of things before they get out of hand. I am in my 70's so this is an important issue for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a gastroenterologist. Added to that he said to me he was not planning on retiring until 90! I I appreciated that!"
"Had a great experience with dr. Christensen, slightly long wait time but I do not mind waiting when the doctor spends time with you. He listened to all of my concerns and spent time thoroughly explaining my condition. It was a pleasant experience and his staff was amazing."
"So thankful that Dr Christensen is providing services at Womans Hospital. I received great care from everyone. Dr Christensen was great and took time to make sure I understood the procedure. I highly recommend Dr Christensen and Womans Hospital"
"I had a diverticulitis flare from an anti-inflammatory that was given me for my shoulder. I had taken antibiotics but was still having issues. He listened to my concerns and I have tests scheduled to see if anything else is going on. He was very nice and informative and I was grateful that they were able to fit me in."
"My first visit was exceptional in the time and explanation of the possibilities of diagnosis and the plan of moving forward. I look forward to working with Dr Christensen."

He ensured that I was comfortable and understood the positives and negatives of the entire procedure.. literally gave me a ton of trust in him doing my procedure.. very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my concerning question plus more information without asking. Thanks for everything!!"
"Dr. Christiansen very engagingly provided thorough explanations of the mechanism of action and effectiveness of a prescribed medication. Dr. Christiansen informed me and my wife fully on preparations before my upcoming procedure and on what to expect pre- and post op. One of the best medical consultations ever."

"Dr. Christensen is a great gastro doctor! He has treated my father for years and as of 3 years ago has treated me as well. Dr. Chris is very knowledgeable in his field and personalizes his care and treatment of each patient based on their history, genetics, and personal needs. He is very thorough and does a great job explaining what’s going on in your body in ways that a patient will better understand. I would recommend his care to anyone I know in need of a GI doctor. He saved my colon....He’s the best!"
