  • The best of the best
    Almost 29 years ago, in April 1990, at M.D.Malcolm Grow USAF Medical Center, Andrews AFB, MD, I first met Dr. Alan W. Christensen. Then a Major in the USAF, he repaired my left hand after a firing pin malfunction on a 9mm handgun sent a round through it and into my 3rd metacarpal. I was flown from Loring AFB, Maine to Andrews AFB at that time because I was told that the United States Air Force's best hand surgeon performed surgery at that facility, and that was the truth.
  • Fantastic care.
    Years ago I had a problem with my arm. I went to Dr. Christensen for a second opinion after a prior surgeon had told me that surgery was a must. Dr. Christensen diagnosed my problem differently, concluded that I didn't need surgery and prescribed me a steroid which helped me fully heal sometime later.
