Everyone was very nice and helpful
My experience I had was no problem whatsoever

Excellent visit.

Excellent team!
Dr Christie and her team were very professional. They knew my history, did appropriate tests and answered all my questions.
Dr. Christie is an excellent doctor. I think she deserves a 5 point rating not a 4.9 rating.
Dr Christie is stellar!
Thank you all !
Dr. Christie is always nice and knowledgeable.
Dr. Christie, while hard to get an appt with, listens carefully and communicates clearly and compassionately. Trust her thoroughly.
On time , helpful, and thorough!
I loved it. I am glad my doctor has two office locations. She ordered the appropriate tests for me and I was very happy about it.
Awesome
I received more in my appt than in with a previous provider in 3 appts. Explained all in a very understandable manner
I was extremely impressed with the amount of attention given to getting my medical history. Also, the fact I was listened to and not interrupted as I spoke. I look forward to being treated by Dr. Christie in the future.
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.
