Dr Christiansen has been the first doctor who has said to me that he can help me loose weight rather than saying "you need to loose weight". I wanted to hug him! He really gets the struggle. He is kind, smart and has great listening skills. I wish he could be my general practitioner. When my current doctor told me I needed to see an endocrinologist my first thought was I need to see dr. Christiansen. He's the best!!!!
