Lisa Christman's Online Review Report Card

I really do not understand the vile some people write. I have been seen by Dr. Christman l0-12 times over the past 7 years and she is terrific. Her staff is very nice also. Do not believe what some of these disgruntled people write. If you read the negative reviews, they seem quite whiny and over frivolity rather than substance.

I was thoroughly disappointed by my first appointment with Dr. Christman. She hurriedly did the check up and did not respond at all to my narrative. It was as if she wasn't remotely interested in what I was telling her about my condition and worries. She was brusque and unempathetic. Terrible chairside manner. She took a culture and I did not hear from her office until a couple of weeks later about the results. I had to call the office to find out what happened and they had to scramble about to find my chart and get back to me. Fortunately, I am now being treated by a superb dermatologist in a different practice.

Warm, friendly, and very attentive to my son’s interests and dermatological needs. Connected with him on a personal level right from the start, and provided helpful and hopeful suggestions, directions, and prescriptions. Very grateful we found her!

I drive two hours to see Dr. Christman...she is thorough, efficient and compassionate. I highly recommend this office. The staff is helpful and kind ...it is worth the drive to feel comfortable and confident with a dermatologist.

Rude. The doctor did not stop talking long enough to listen to our concern or answer any questions. She seemed annoyed that we were there and too busy to treat us. I decided to give her a second chance, maybe she had an off day, however; when we went back for a follow up appt, the staff didn't have us scheduled, although I had the appointment card that they had written me in my hand. They said the doctor wasn't even there that day.

I went to see Dr Christman just once, won't go back. Her office is old, dated. She was cold, unemotional. She breezed in and breezed out in the bat of an eye. She churns, requiring a separate appointment for each individual issue. Have a skin patch? One appointment for her to review it, another for her to do a biopsy. Want to see her about a skin patch and acne, two appointments. Churn. More revenue for her, more expense for her patients. Her use of technology is ineffective. The phone system has so much extraneous info you need to listen to before you are able to take action, that its painful to have to endure the need to call her office. On several occasions, once I got the call through to a person, I was put on hold, finally just hung up. In trying to make a follow-up appointment, I was in transition between insurance carriers and unsure which carrier would cover the visit. In case I needed to pay the bill out of pocket, I wanted to know the full cost of appointment and biopsy. They wouldn't give me cost info. Yeah, its simply too painful to have to deal with Dr Chistman and her red tape. There must be better dermatology practices out there.

I thought Dr. Christman was kind and friendly, however she seemed extremely rushed. It was my first appointment and it lasted barely 15 minutes. She spoke very quickly and gave me a lot of information but I felt like I couldn't ask too many questions because she seemed ready to move on. Her nurse did say she was extremely booked that day. She continuously directed me to my patient portal, where all the information discussed would be available, but I wanted to speak to a doctor who could respond to my questions, not read written, generalized recommendations: I could easily do that for free using google. I heard other people in the awaiting room that day complain of a long wait. I do not mind waiting, especially when the office clearly stated to allot an hour for an appointment. I just didn't realize that I would only see the actual doctor for 10 of those minutes. Overall, I felt like Dr. Christman gave me a lot of different options for my skin issues and was willing to prescribe whatever medication I chose. However, I left with many unanswered questions and felt extremely rushed out the door.

My right hand had started to blister and turned very dark. I thought a spider or insect had bitten me. Dr. Christian diagnosed and treated the hand with a topical ointment and my hand back to normal within a week or so.
