Dr. Christensen is always very attentive, listens to every concern. She's very thorough. She checks everything in every area, even if it's something she's already looked at in a previous appointment. The only thing is it's very hard to make an appointment with her. So that is not necessarily her fault, but it's just kind of hard to get in with her. But however, I have even made an appointment with my son to start seeing her because I trust her that much and feel that her care is top quality. So she's awesome. I will highly recommend her to anyone.

I have seen Dr. Christensen periodically requiring tube(s) for my ears. She is a great doctor to work with and I always feel welcome and important during my office visits. I made an appointment earlier this week for a first available appointment which was not in a convenient office location. Dr Christensen sent me a message early this morning suggesting that I could go to the Kennestone office I typically go for appointments. The staff worked me into the schedule and Dr. Christensen was able to evaluate the issue and complete the procedure to insert the tube while I was in the office. I appreciate the extra care and concern to work me into the schedule today. It was instant relief as soon as the procedure was completed.
