I cannot recommend Dr. Jay Christensen highly enough. As a lead physician at SSM, he brings an exceptional level of expertise paired with some of the best bedside manner I have ever experienced. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and immediately put me at ease. He recently performed a minor orthopedic procedure for me, and the entire experience was flawless. The procedure itself was completely painless, remarkably quick, and the results have been nothing short of perfect. His entire staff is equally professional, efficient, and compassionate. If you are looking for an orthopedic specialist who combines top-tier technical skill with genuine care for his patients, Dr. Jay Christensen is simply the one of best in the field.

Wondering why there was not an intake form or another was to make sure details were better understood.

The follow up care wasn't as specified for me as far as needing PT which has delayed that process for me.
