Dr. Dorothy Mary Christiansen, MD

I saw Dr. Christiansen as a new patient after not seeing a PCP for many years. She was efficient and knowledgable about onboarding me and getting me appointments for tests and then meeting with me to interpret results. I trust my care to her.

Would never wish this doctor on anyone. She is condescending, doesn't listen and a poor diagnostician. My husband had a critical emergency situation and due to her inability to listen to his concerns and her unwillingness to order an MRI he now has permanent nerve damage due to her lack of response. On top of all this she made it difficult for us to get prescriptions post surgery and offered no follow up care. Would never advise anyone to waste their time with her.

Dr. Christiansen is wonderful! She is very thorough in her procedures! I have been with her for 30 years and have recommended her to several people including my husband who was seeing another doctor before Christiansen and they could not diagnose him after going to several doctors and one meeting with Dr. Christiansen she found out the diagnose. I love her and I just discovered they are opened 3 days a week til 8:00 pm for those working people and evening is a great time to go and visit when it is not crazy busy.

Poor Communicator, Poor Attitude, Not Attentive, Lack of Professional mannerism and Lack of Understanding. I’m writing this for my mother who never complains and is a respected local business owner. But she has never been treated with disrespect and lack of empathy. If this doctor isn’t in it for helping people in medicine and treatment and only for the money then this doctor needs to leave. She’s not a good face nor positive reflection of what this medical office is. My apologies for this Honest Review, but someone needs to address several issues with her.

One year ago today Dr Christiansen gave my son the difficult news that he had cancer. She took the time to listen to his concerns a few days prior, and ordered testing to begin to diagnose what was going on and why be didn't feel himself! He was a new patient to her practice and if it were not for her and her attention to detail, he would not be here today. I am forever grateful for her care and expertise and advise as to how to get him to treatment immediately. Forever thankful, my son is in remission!

I was happy with my first visit. She asked questions and took ex rays that other doctors didn’t. I am looking forward to her diagnosis as I have received 3 different ones and no one stopped my pain, only told me what they thought was wrong. I am not looking for someone to be friendly only relief. Time will tell.

She just goes through the motions, really doesn't listen to her patients nor cares about helping. Her knowledge has really seemed to lag over the years. I wish doctors needed to be relicensed, as she would fail. When it comes to medications she has little knowledge. There have been times that I thought that she may be prescribing what she gets a "kick back" on. Look elsewhere, she's of no help.

Extremely rude with terrible bedside manner! She makes you feel like an inconvenience when coming to her office. Barely listens to issues and focuses on only the things she deems important. Terrible Doctor!

I have been a patient of Dr. Christiansen's for 7 years. She is very thorough. She has been very helpful. I can always get an appointment when I need one right away. She is caring and has helped me solve some major medical issues.

At age 23, I asked to have general blood work done. She refused. One year later, I was diagnosed hypothyroid. Poor bedside manner. Would not recommend.

either nobody's home there, or they get paid solely on commission for wrong diagnosii and unnecessary tests. Do you want doctor with eating disorder, and an office that lies to get you to come in? Unknowledgable and couldn't wait to see me with my clothes off.

treats staff with bad sarcasm, talks down to staff and patients

Excellent , caring physician. She takes time with her patients and is an excellent diagnostician.

I value her opinion and she takes the time to truly listen to my questions and concerns. Yes, sometimes there is a bit of a wait, but I feel it is because she is taking the same time to listen to all of her patients. As they say, a good restaurant is worth a wait - isn't a good doctor?

Dr. Christiansen doesn't have a great bedside manner, but that did improve over the two years I saw her. She seemed more cheerful on my last visit. However, she could not have cared less about my health - she seemed completely unconcerned that I had severe sciatica at only 23, for example. And when I asked her for an HIV test (which the CDC recommends all physicians proactively suggest to patients), she scoffed and said, "You don't hang out with the type of people who get HIV." When I insisted on the test, she told me okay and later said I didn't have it. I now can't find a record of any HIV test in my records. Enough said...

very easy to talk to and takes time and talks to you. I enjoy going to see her. Her staff is amazing and her ability to make you feel comfortable is outstanding. She listens and addresses concerns and all the pharmacy right away. Never had a problem and would highly recommened Dr. Dorothy Christiansen. she is very expireneced.

Doctor Christiansen is the worst doctor I ever had. Her bedside manner is horrible,and she did not care what I had to say to her. I can not stand her and I am glad I finally FIRED her. I found a new doctor who is truly a wonderful doctor and has all the qualites a Doctor should have. Doctor Christiansen should never have been a doctor, she should have been something like a prison guard.

I have had two annual check-ups with Dr Christiansen, and both times did not feel comfortable talking with her. At the first visit, she considered my allergic reaction to two foods well-known to cause reactions to be nothing more than "indigestion" (since I do not respond with the typical anaphylatic shock symptoms), and told me I did not need an EpiPen as my previous doctor had prescribed. This bothered me, since true allergic reactions can be life threatening. Recently, I decided to consult an allergy specialist to diagnose my reaction, and he insisted I do carry an EpiPen and wrote out the prescription refill. I'm sorry to say that between her personality, our lack of rapport, and her response to my allergies, I don't feel I can trust her as my primary healthcare provider. I will be going to a different doctor for my next check-up.

Dr. Christiansen is a excellent doctor. She is through and caring. She follows up with her patients to ensure an accurate diagnosis and care.
