Dr. Christensen is both my doctor and my mother's, who has Alzheimer's Disease. Her attention to detail, respectfulness and care make us both feel like she treats us as if we were family. We have never felt rushed during an appointment. In fact, she spends more time with us during appointments than I have ever experienced with any other doctor. Because of this, we do not mind waiting to see her; we know she is giving another patient the same attention that she gives us. I recommend her to anyone I can.

Payment Options
We accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and personal checks.
Card-on-File
We encourage patients to keep a credit card on file to make the checkout process easier, faster, and more efficient. You will no longer receive statements from us, but you will continue to receive your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurance carrier once your claim has been processed, detailing the charges and payments made on your behalf.
At check-in we will:
- scan the credit card of your choice, including your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) card
After your insurance has paid their portion, we will:
- notify you via email of the balance owed
- charge the balance owed to your card on file
- email a receipt for the charge
Your credit card information will always be fully protected by our off-site, card-processing partner Elavon, and not on our computers, as required by industry standards (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard – PCI-DSS).
