Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Genuinely cares about his patients!
Dr. Christiansen is very thorough, takes the time to genuinely get to know your family and baby, and gives great advice to help any new parents navigate parenthood. Couldn't recommend enough!

Dr. Christiansen has been both my boys' doctor for almost 15 years. He has ALWAYS listened, showed empathy, educated me and diagnosed correctly. My husband and I are so grateful to him.

When my baby was 2 days old, my husband went with him to the nursery for a bath. Dr. Christiansen was also in the nursery and was talking terribly about another family who did not want to get the hep b vaccine for their baby. My husband came back to tell me how unprofessional he was and how we should rethink him being our child's pediatrician. He does not have good communication with his patients either. Find a pediatrician that is more caring. Also hard to schedule appointments with him.
