Office Ambiance
We are committed to making your visit stress-free and fun. With our comfortable, personalized rooms, you will not feel like you in a hospital environment. We have four specifically designed patients rooms to cater to a particular type of patient. For example, if you are visiting with complaints of a migraine, we have a room filled with calm lighting, biophilic design, devoid of any "painful" stimuli intended to soothe your body and mind while you wait for your provider.
Contactless Check-In & COVID-19 Procedures
Before your appointment, you will receive a questionnaire to verify non-exposure to COVID-19. If you are exposed to COVID-19 or exhibit symptoms, we need to be informed before your visit. You are required to wear a face mask in our building.
We have also gone contactless to help ensure the safety and well being of our patients and staff members. When you enter the Bay Colony Campus, please text us that you have arrived. Our office will have already provided you with the information to do this during your pre-visit preparation. Once prompted, you will come into the office and taken to a hand-picked room for you with your favorite music playing (if provided).
Your First Visit with Dr. Christian
At your initial consultation...
Dr. Christian will take a subjective history to get to know you. He will begin with a series of question that will give him insight into your story. He will gather information about your medical history, functional history, family medical history, current medication regimen, lifestyle choices and prior interventions and whether or not they were successful. He will then conduct a physical exam and may order diagnostic testing or lab values if indicated. After he has gleaned a comprehensive overview of your health and potential diagnosis, he will provide recommendations and suggestions for your personalized treatment plan. Together, you will decide on a treatment plan that best meets your health needs and moves you closer to achieving your goals. Most patients require a minimum of 3 visit for best results. Dr. Christian focuses on optimizing healing, function and preventing re-injury and chronic pain development.
Telehealth Experience
Dr. Christian offers telehealth visit where you can speak to him from the comfort of your own home. To book a telehealth appointment, you will need to have access to a smartphone, iPad, laptop or desktop computer with camera and internet access. No additional application downloads are required for your telehealth visit. When your appointment arrives, you will be sent a link via e-mail or text (depending on your preference). In the event of technical difficulties, we will place a call directly to you. Fo your own safety and for best etiquette, we ask that you do not drive during your appointment with your doctor.
