Dr. Christensen has published multiple research articles, & most notably, has co-written seven chapters in one of the country's leading pediatric dental textbooks: Pediatric Dentistry: Infancy Through Adolescence (Pinkham JR.,W.B.

We were very pleased with our visit to Dr. Christensen's office. They take time showing the kids everything that they are going to do and make it look very easy. Dr. Christensen was very thorough and explained everything to me. I would highly recommend this office. E.S.

Dr. John is the greatest!! My kids love him and his staff. The last time I took my daughter for an appointment, my son started crying because he wanted to go too!! Imagine that!!

Dr. John is fabulous. I have been taking my two kids to him for several years. Last weekend my daughter was accidently hit in the mouth with a baseball bat and broke one of her front teeth off. I called Dr. Christensen on his cell phone and he met us at his office. He took so much time and care explaining what needed to be done and then fixed her tooth so it looked like nothing ever happened. I was shocked and so pleased with his expertise and the care he showed us during this very stressful situation!! Five Stars!!

Dr. Christensen is amazing! I was very nervous about taking my 2 year old for her first dental visit today - but she did great! "Dr. John" and his staff were so nice and took their time talking to Carson and showing her everthing they were going to do. She got a "No Cavity" button with her picture on it and lots of other stuff to take home. Whew!! I am so glad she will have better memories of her visits to the dentist than I did as a child (sorry Dr. Morgan!)

I have been taking my two children to "Dr. John" for years and he is a great Pediatric Dentist. Now that my kids are older - he is also their orthodontist. It is great to not have to go to another office for braces. His employees are all wonderful. I think they have all been there since we started going ~ 1995. A++
