What I Do

I believe that excellent medical care begins with listening. My philosophy of care is to meet patients where they are, to form a partnership with them to promote health, wellness, and hope. My special clinical interests are pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, geriatrics, diabetes care, preventative medicine, and addiction medicine.

Why I Love My Work

Each patient is unique in their own way, and I enjoy getting to know every person and partnering with them to deliver high-quality medical care. My favorite part about practicing family medicine is getting to know families and serving them across generations.

I chose CentraCare, after my excellent experience as a family medicine resident in St. Cloud. I am thrilled to have the chance to continue to serve patients in our community while giving back to our residency program.

Getting to Know Me

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active by running, playing basketball, soccer, golf, and pickleball. I am an avid reader of both fiction and nonfiction. My wife and I have three children together, and as a family we enjoy playing board games and spending time outdoors.

    Dr. Christensen has an amazing way of communicating with his patients! He asks probing questions and not only listens to the answers, but responds to the nuances of what was said. He invites considerable input on decisions that must be made after clearly explaining the alternatives. He clearly reviewed my file prior to my visit and brought up items that that gave me the feeling that being given extraordinary care even for a minor visit.

    Very caring; would appreciate more dialogue in which he elicits more information about my observations/questions and my activities in support of our health care goals; sometimes he spends too much time providing information about which I'm already aware. I'm assuming he does this in the spirit of being thorough.

    Dr Christensen is the best. While my husband was alive he was very helpful and supportive. He also used his knowledge about both of our conditions to make the surgery I had this year doable. He goes above and beyond!
