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.

He is always very thorough and direct. Which very much appreciated.

Left Confused
Lack of communication between doctor and nurse, or patient and doctor. Told me to do lab work then showed me the door. I left feeling rushed, and disappointed.Second, they wanted to chose an ear doc for me, I said no I'll do that, then the next day I'm getting phone calls for an ear doctor to make an appointment.

MD was efficient and thorough.
I have had two interactions with the front desk at this location and have found them to be abrupt and unwelcoming each time. I was seen as a patient this last time and my med tech was very pleasant and efficient. Dr. Van Christiansen was pleasant, efficient, thorough, and addressed all of my concerns. I used the on-campus pharmacy and found them to be extremely accommodating, pleasant, and fast.

Dr. Christiansen (Dr.C) ignored me when I explained that there was pain in my hips. It went on for several years and kept getting worse. Time and again I suggested he refer me to get an MRI. He refused and said my hip pain was normal for my age. After several turned down requests for an MRI I went to another Dr. whom agreed immediately to refer me for an MRI. The MRI revealed a torn labrum in each hip which needed surgery to repair. The Doctor who performed the surgery said the damage was much worse due to Dr. C failing to refer me for an MRI earlier. I have never gone back to Dr. C. His incompetence in my case was inexcusable.

I used the Telemedicine connection for this visit. It was great. Dr. Christiansen talked with me and viewed a photo I had taken of my rash, and then ordered a Rx for me. All without me having to come in to the clinic.

I’ve never been treated worse by a physician. The providers my family and I have seen at this practice are unprofessional. Both of the providers I saw didn’t know how to treat my issue or chose not to because they were too busy stereotyping and didn’t want to take the time to figure out the problem. Do not waste your time or money if you have anything to address that isn’t related to a seasonal illness.

never write reviews but I feel I had to warn others of Dr. Christiansen. I went in for upper abdominal pain a week after having a miscarriage. My husband was with me, and we were shocked at the way we were treated. After explaining my miscarriage, Dr. Christiansen sarcastically asked "Did you cry?" And proceeded to tell us how annoying children would get and that you'll wish you can send her back one day. Literally. You would think after going to years of medical school that you have learned a t
