I researched Dr. Chapman before talking with my GP about my neurological issues ( numbness in the front of my right quadriceps and numbness at the bottom inside of each ankle and calf ) and loved what I read about her education and experience. Plus she seemed to have a nice warm disposition and smile. I felt confident and safe speaking with my GP about her and he referred me to see her.

When the appt was made, I was told that I would be seeing Dr. Chapman in person to do the assessment and tests.

I had one virtual initial appt with her, which went OK. During that virtual appt, she explained to me what type of tests she will need to do, and she confirmed with me that she would be there to conduct each test, so I felt confident about what was next.
When the date came for my testing at her clinic within VGH, her receptionist's attitude was completely apathetic, patronizing and demeaning. And when it came time for the testing, in walked a male student dr. who explained to me that he would be doing the testing. I explained to him that was not what I was told by Dr. Chapman, and he then explained to me that she would be in to talk with me after the testing had been completed. I was now feeling uncomfortable with the ill communication and wanted to leave but I had waited over a year for this visit so I decided to go through with the testing part of the visit. 

The testing had been completed, and I waited for Dr. Chapman to walk in. 
Instead, an older male neurologist walked in and he explained to me that Dr. Chapman had not come in for that day and that he was filling in for her. And this male neurologist was very unable and unwilling to listen to me, he was intentionally interruptive and spoke to me like a child. 

I left the first in-person appt and dr. chapman's clinic was extremely disappointed and upset at the treatment by her receptionist, by treatment by the male neurologist, and most importantly by the ill communication from dr. chapman.

When I asked her receptionist via email to speak with dr. chapman after the appt dr. chapman called me, and now ( just like her male neurologist replacement ) immediately began rushing the conversation and speaking directly over the top of every question and every word that I tried to ask her. I was given NO explanation by her why she was not there in person for my first visit. And she said that she had no idea why I had numbness in my legs.

Even though, dr. chapman has a decent write-up of her education and experience online, I give her and her colleague and admin staff a ZERO star rating. 

I have since learned from a friend on Facebook (who is an advanced chiropractor in the Mediterranean area ) that it sounds like I have " entrapment of the femoral nerve " which it turns out is exactly what my new neurologist thinks I have. It also turns out that my new neurologist also has entrapment of the femoral nerve, the same condition which has been causing me immense neurological issues.

So, my point is, that even though kristine chapman spoke with me in length about my symptoms during my initial virtual appt with her, and in spite of all of the testing ( EMG and other testing ) that her colleagues did, they had NO prognosis for me, I ended up learning what conditions was likely causing my neurological issues from a friend on Facebook. 

I strongly do NOT recommend seeking any help from dr. kristine chapman and/or her colleagues.

Knowledgeable, thorough, caring and helpful. Dr Chapman took time to explain my issues and to reassure me of a solution. I feel very fortunate that I was able to see her. Would highly recommend her.

I have sadly been dealing with life altering groin pain Since November 2019, I have been told by physician that there is nothing wrong with me, when I could barely stand an ER doctor questioned my intentions and sent me walking. There have been many test and many theories but none panned out and my Hydromorphone prescription around the clock has been going on 6 months. Dr Christine Chapman first gave me an EMG test but in the same appointment pointed out other key issues she observed that I was unaware of and my exam was amazing. She was super considerate of my painful journey which felt like the same time I experienced sincere compassion from a medical expert. She arranged an ultrasound which took some time (I assume the ultrasound doctor is well sought out as she was perfect.) For the first time in a year I have heard what seems to be a concrete diagnosis and I am so grateful for her hard work. If you are lucky as I was to experience Dr. Christine Chapman you too will be thrilled with your experience. Mark

Dr. Kristine is a Godsend Angel for me. She helped me so much, that 5 other specialists couldn't figure out. When I went to see her she said tell me exactly how you are feeling, I was talking for a awhile she just listened so intently as she knew what I going through. After listening to me she said don't worry we will find out what is wrong and will find a way to help you. OMG I felt like I was on cloud nine, no one ever listened to me and made feel this way. She is one gifted talented amazing Neurologist, so informative very calm and collective . I can't thank her enough for finding what was wrong with and prescribing meds so I can quality of life. I am so lucky to have connected with her. Full of positive energy. Also Linda her secretary awesome 😎 I've called her many times she always come through getting info or appt. Dr Kristine is my life line, thank you for giving my love fe back. God bless Dr. chapman and her staff🙏

I saw this doctor knowing I had neuropathy. She didn’t even test the area in my spine where my severe neuralgia is.
I felt she didn’t care to really help me. I’d been in pain for years and she let me down.
I feel for anyone who waited a long time and got no help.

Dr Kristine is very knowledgeable and respectful. She allowed us to tell things in details without rushing us, and gave us feedback. I can't tell how I appreciate everything she has done for us.

I had a really good experience at Dr. Chapman's office. I found her to be informative, insightful, respectful, and personable. She is jam-packed with information and even has a way of making you look at things differently when a disability is dragging you down. I also really like that she opens your eyes to other options to assist with help. I am a bit of a stubborn one and was tired of feeling like a guinea pig, or a number; her bedside manner is nothing like this. The staff is also really good. It is a busy environment but I always feel attended to.
