What Patients Are Saying

I saw Dr Dhristian for the first time when I fractured my foot. He reviewed the X-rays I brought with me and had additional ones taken to confirm his diagnosis. He showed me the X-rays and pointed out the exact spot of the fracture. He explained that three types of fractures can occur on that bone and explained what I had. He then explained all of the options available to me and discussed the pros and cons of each one. When I opted for surgery, he got me on his schedule for less than three weeks later.
