Melanie has a wonderful bedside manner and was able to resolve all of the problems I had quickly. She has a great deal of knowledge and is a wonderful clinician.
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.
