What Remington Patients Say About Us
Excellent doctor with the kindest bed side manner. She is very thorough! Highly recommend if you want to
get to the issue. I am a little surprised at the negative review below regarding a copay. We all know
that copays are definitely due at the time of service.
Dr. Christensen is one of the best!!

I've had severe sciatic nerve pain for several years. The first injection gave me significant relief. I had the second injection today. I hope it helps as much as the first injection.

Rheumatoid Arthritis and Gout in Remington
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and gout are both types of arthritis. But they are not the same.
Rheumatoid Arthritis happens when the immune system attacks the joints.
Gout happens when too much uric acid makes crystals in the joints.
Some patients may have both. Others may be misdiagnosed. Dr. Sarah Christensen has the
training to tell the difference and treat each condition the right way.
