While he did not tell me what I wanted to hear I felt his judgment was sound. I have had 2 injections and the second one took well but only for 8 weeks and now the pain is coming back. When I called hi office and explained to the nurse that my isurance was to reset in 3 weeks and if I were to have the surgery in that time frame they did all they could to make that happen. The reliableness of the office staff and Dr. C has been poor to this point. I do relize they are busy and have a huge demand being the only spine specialist in town, but i have had 5 prescriptions called in and 3 of them have not been done in any thing close to a timely manor. Dr. C stated he would call a perscription in the same day as the appointment 3 days later I had to call the office and complain. The office staff did this 2 times as well. For someone in a great deal of pain , complaicency and laziness do not sit well. Overall the small things can be fixed and the rest of the service provided was Good not great.

He wanted to surgery on an 80-yr-old with such diminished lung capacity that putting her on her stomach during surgery would literally stop her breathing. He said that this was no problem; she would be put on a respirator! He left me with the feeling that he was itching to do surgeries regardless of the effects on the patient.

After exhausting my insurance for chiropractic care, I was referred to Dr. Christensen for a pinched nerve. After and MRI I found out I had a slipped disc and needed surgery. While I found Dr. Christensen and Brian to be good doctors, I found their scheduling to be horrid. I waited in the waiting room for almost an hour and a half and then I waited in the exam room for another 30-45 minutes. This happened three times. If Dr. Christensen is that busy, I think he needs to schedule his appointments further apart and work more days of the week.

I've been a patient of Dr. Christensen and his MA.Bryan, I was given great care, I did not choose, Dr. Christensen I was sent to him after a accidental fall out of a pick up. Dr. Christensen put 3 pins in my hip. I was treated excellent, the office visited were prompt. As for hard seat as refer in other letter. I not sure where this person was, as the office furniture are soft leather sofa's. P.S. Their are two orthopdic surgeons in Twin Falls. I would rate Dr. David Christensen up with the best. Thank You.

Wait of over 2 hours to see this doctor or his "assistant". On one occasion I came for an appointment and was told that the doctor & assistant were making hospital rounds. One and 1/2 hour later I left without seeing the doctor.

I waited nearly two hours to get in to this ONLY back doctor in Twin Falls. I had to sit on a hard chair in his office and my back and body is injured. His treatment was appauling. He never even looked at my spine and he is a back surgeon. When I asked him to measure the atrophy in my right leg he did so over the top of my pants. When he looked at my x-rays that he had me take he said rudely, "Yes, I can see you used THAT neck for 52 years!" He then said my discs were collapsed. When I asked him what I should do about the numbness and pain he did not care. In fact, he was rude and uncaring. I asked him for help as I have osteopenia, stenosis, scoliosis, flattening spine, nerve impingement and terrible pain. Also, I had a severe injury to my hamstring on top of acl reconstruction to the SAME right side of my body and it is all making things bad. He did not care and was neglectful of my feelings, my pain, and my injuries. I asked him for help! He sent me to a physical therapistin Twin Falls and that P.T. said I had significant problems in my back/spine/legs/neck and doct
