I fractured my foot on a Saturday, and Dr. Christian's office was able to get me in to see him quickly thereafter. After reviewing my X-rays, he showed me the X-rays and explained everything in great detail. He offered me several options, but I elected to undergo surgery, which had the best chance of a complete recovery. Dr Christian was very personable, and I felt extremely comfortable and confident in his care. He performed the surgery quickly thereafter, and it went very well. I felt no pain whatsoever in my foot after surgery. Upon follow-up six weeks after surgery, Dr. Christian showed me the new X-rays, which indicated that my bone was healing very well.
