I received more in my appt than in with a previous provider in 3 appts. Explained all in a very understandable manner
Dr. Christie took a very thorough patient history and listened to me describe both my balance and spine issues. She did a physical exam and tested strength, sensation and coordination. I felt she listened to my concerns and then made suggestions for further testing and physical therapy. She was empathetic and took into consideration my desire to work on strength and coordination without drugs. I left with a diagnosis that my new balance issues are spine and not brain related. All in all a productive and encouraging visit. Dr Christie was recommended to me by another UT physician and I am pleased I waited the several months it took to see her as a new patient.
I always feel very comfortable with Dr. Christie. She listens to your concerns and addresses anything you have concerns with.
Dr Christie was very personable and patient. She took the time to address all my questions.
Dr Christie is great. I have already referred several people to her

Dr. Christie makes my Parkinson's much easier to understand and makes me feel like this is not a death sentence.
Very professional and courteous group. I always enjoy my visit with Dr Christie.
great
I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was seen! The doctor was incredibly kind and really understood what I was going through. She offered me hope and went over various treatment options in a way that made me feel comfortable and reassured. It was such a positive experience!
I feel that Dr. Christie has good judgment and has my best interest in mind to help me in regards to Parkinson's Disease.
I just love Dr. Christie. She is a great person. Great bedside manner. She always asks the patient do they have any questions or concerns. She doesn't treat them like they don't have feelings or voices their opinions. She is a people person. Very approachable. Thank you for caring:)
Dr Christie is an excellent doctor. She took so much time with us. She answered all of our questions and arranged for someone to call us to set up a special test for my husband. Great experience.
Dr. Christie was amazing. She was extremely thorough and reviewed my chart prior to my visit so she already knew what happened and why I was there. She was very attentive and informative about treatment options
Good experience.
I am very happy with my visit and with my Dr
THE ONLY NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE WAS THE PARKING...THE GARAGE WAS FULL AND WE DROVE CONTINUOUSLY AROUND EACH FLOOR FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES...I WISH WHEN I HAD CALLED EARLIER IN THE WEEK I WAS ADVISED OF VALET PARKING AS AN OPTION.
The only thing I disliked was the wait time for the appointment. It was 6 months, that's too long to wait for a diagnosis when you don't know what's happening to you. I really appreciate her knowledge and expertise in this field. Will definitely come back to continue to see her. I'm so glad to have her on my team of doctors.
Dr Christie is just a great Dr.
Very informative and helpful. Very courteous.
Excellent communications, friendly staff, caring doctor
We feel very lucky to have seen Dr. Christie. She's absolutely the best and she's a lifesaver for us. Goodbye.
All well taken care off
Dr. Christie was very personable. She was very nice. She remembered our previous conversations, even the small talk, and I would recommend her to anyone.
Dr Christie was so caring and professional. She spent so much time with me and listened and responded to all of my questions and concerns. She is outstand
I appreciate having doctors who are upbeat and enthusiastic about helping patients. At no point did I feel like just another patient coming through the mill.
