![]() ![]() ![]() While the surgery I had will take several months before its results will be fully realized, I am happy with the immediate outcome. I had no pain or discomfort during or after the surgery. Here I am a day later, writing this review without glasses. Everything seems on track for healing as expected. He remained in contact with me prior to surgery by e-mail, and a couple of of phone calls (remarkable), again answering all questions I had and making sure I was ready for the surgery.I had the surgery yesterday and had a follow-up visit with Dr Christiansen this morning (Sat). Christiansen was able to schedule my surgery (yesterday) before the end of the month. Ultimately, I decided the benefits would outweigh possible risks and asked for the surgery to be scheduled.I have a very tight work schedule and my insurance rolls over in July. He made me feel comfortable throughout the exam. During the exam, he explained what he found, answered all my questions, and then gave me reasons to consider why I would want to go ahead with a surgery and reasons why I would not, and the risks and benefits of doing so.His demeanor was professional and friendly. Christiansen made himself immediately accessible to me and I was able to schedule an appointment very quickly. He previously practiced retinal surgery in Colorado Springs and in Oregon.I was referred to him by my optometrist during the first week of June to evaluate if I needed surgery to correct a "macular pucker" that had become enlarged over a relatively short period. Christiansen.Dr Christiansen has relocated to Castle Rock and is opening a new practice here called Front Range Retina. I've had a really positive experience with Dr. He is extremely accommodating to my schedule, even meeting on weekends for checkups, and every visit has been a sincere pleasure. Christiansen (and his wife the receptionist) are some of the most genuinely friendly people you'll ever meet. I can't thank him enough for this quality of life improvement. I went from essentially total blindness in one eye to nearly perfect 20/40 vision. I'm not a doctor, but having a optics background I am truly amazed at the exceptional results of the surgery Dr. Christiansen performed the surgery himself with the excellent staff at the Centura Hospital in Castle Rock. Once surgery became the next logical step to save my vision, he explained the process in great detail and scheduled it to occur in a timely manner. After I experienced a major retina detachment in one eye, he keenly walked me through my options and patiently answered all of my questions. Christiansen is a wonderful and friendly retina specialist with a very clean office and state of the art equipment. ![]()
