  • Had a TKR on 5/12. The procedure was beyond my expectations. 9 days out I am beginning to walk unassisted. There has been minimal pain. Dr. Kristensen is fantastic. I have been a fan of his PA-teammate, Ben Kerns for 8 years. The whole process from check-in to discharge was seamless. The whole team was very pleasant and professional. I would highly recommend them.

  • Dr. Kristensen, was phenomenal. He and his staff were either ahead of time or on time. He was very friendly and professional and I would highly recommend him.
