Patient Reviews
Mar 14, 2025
Dr. Christianson listens and provides options for treatment. For example, for significant abdominal pain which I had not experienced in several years, he ordered bloodwork, a CT scan, offered medication and-or a referral to a PT for pelvic floor therapy. I opted for the latter since the medication route has been unsuccessful in the past. The pelvic floor therapy alleviated my symptoms and decreased bladder leakage. Highly recommend!
