Dr. Christensen, a graduate of University of Utah School and Medicine in Salt Lake City, Utah, and residency at McKay-Dee Hospital Center, Ogden, Utah, has been practicing medicine for over 30 years in Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Oregon and Idaho. His clinical experience and expertise include geriatrics, sports medicine, diabetes, and rheumatology as well as herbal/alternative medicine. He believes that patient care always comes first, and works hard to communicate with his patients in a manner that resonates with them. “I have been a rural physician from the get-go, and in many situations I have been the only doc within miles. It teaches you to think on your feet and make do with what’s at hand.” His hobbies include photography, gardening, fly fishing, hiking, kayaking, and wood carving.
