Patient Reviews
Apr 12, 2024
When I received my orthopedic diagnosis that I needed a knee replacement, I came to Dr Christine Townsend looking for less drastic alternatives and I found what I was looking for: Dr Townsend is a thorough compassionate doctor that drained the liquid from my knee and gave me a hyaluronic injection that provided the relief for my condition. I am grateful to have Dr Townsend as part of my health care team.
