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.

My husband's visit with Dr. Christie was well received because he got good news that he is still at a plateau. Great news for us and it also made Dr. Christie happy.

Great, knowledgeable and respectful doctor
Dr Christy was very prompt and friendly in our first interactions. He had already looked into the reason that I was coming in ahead of time, and had some initial thoughts, so we didn’t waste any time. I felt like he listened to what I had to say, respected the fact that I am a fairly educated patient, and presented his facts and POV very clearly. He is sending writeups to both my primary care and specialist who referred me. Honestly, it has been a long time since I have encountered a doctor that intelligent, professional and caring.

Very nice and kind and excellent
He immediately ordered several tests for me and told me to make an appointment for the next outpatient visit. He told me his opinion on the test results immediately and recommended another specialist. I am very grateful to him. He personally asked about my condition and examined me face to face.

Excellent doctor, excels as diagnostician!!
I came to my appointment with apprehension. Dr. Christie immediately remembered me from long past visits for blood clots, putting me at ease. I still take the blood clotting medication, which he prescribed, with very positive results.Now I needed medical interpretation for blood work done in an hospital and a follow up as to what the results mean. Several doctors I had seen were not familiar with the tests, nor their meanings and were concerned. Some of results appeared way out of the baselines. He ordered additional testing. Then said to comeback and talk about the results. Definitely trust Dr. Christie. His knowledge and beside manner I are difficult to find.

Professional and Personable - What care should be
I was referred to Dr. Christie following a colonoscopy regarding a questionable rectal tumor. While I was told it was benign, I was puzzled by the referral and told him so at the outset of our meeting. He quickly addressed my concerns in non-clinical, layman’s terms. He was professional and personable. I left relieved and with the invitation to return with any further concerns. This is the standard for provider healthcare. Thank you, Dr. Christie

Outstanding Physician
Dr. Christie is the consummate professional. He carefully explains results of tests, diagnostic results, etc., in terms easily understandable by the patient. When with him you are left with the feeling that you are the only patient he is seeing that day. Never a rush to get on to the next patient. It is the best patient-doctor I have ever had.
