Excellent results from my bilateral knee replacement. A caring physician with superb skills and bedside manner! Prayed with me before surgery, which I found to be quite comforting!

Finally a doctor who takes his time to listen and discuss your condition in understandable terminology.

It does take some time to get in to see him but it is worth it. He knows what he is doing and I... Dr. Christiansen corrected a previous botched total knee replacement for me.

From praying with me prior to surgery, outcome of surgery, and followup hospital visits, I could not have asked for a more caring physician.
