    Dr. Christiansen was very kind and listened to my problem in getting eye glasses to correct the double-vision. He spent extra time with me to make sure the prescription was absolutely correct. I felt very confident when leaving his office that he had done what I needed in getting rid of my double-vision.

    After 40-plus years as an opthalmologist, he is still quiet, clearly explaining what he is doing, thorough in recrod-keeping, and letting me, the patient, make the decisions where applicable.
