What patients have to say

  • *****

    Dr. Christiansen and team were amazing for my excision. No waiting time in the lobby, got me right in and the procedure was quick but thorough. They took the time to explain to me what everything was and kept me informed step by step. Highly recommend!

  • *****

    As a long time patient of Dr. Christiansen I can assure you that he provides the absolute best of care. He is always attentive to my concerns and he explains procedures and after care instructions very clearly.

    The staff at Resolute Dermatology is always friendly and helpful. My wife is also a patient at Resolute and her experience has been equally positive.

  • *****

    The office was very efficient from the time I arrived and checked in to the time the doctor completed my surgery. Dr Christensen and staff provided a detailed overview of the procedure and follow up required.

    I can’t say enough about the kindness and compassion expressed by everyone in the office.

    Highly recommend Dr Christensen!
