Dr. Christensen invited my input and explained his knowledge very well which enlightened me about aspects of my thyroid condition that I didn't know about. He treated my non standard approach to lowering my cholesterol via hormone optimization with knowledge, curiosity, interest, and open mindedness. I'm very grateful to have found this doctor and this practice.

Dr Christensen is not only a great doctor but a good person. He absolutely listens to your concerns and in a well thought out answer offers a reasoned explanation to those concerns. I value his diagnosis and his explanation to the diagnosis and treatment.
