Integrative Health

The entire office staff is incredible ! Dr. Alan Christianson is my favorite doctor I’ve ever seen. He’s helping me recover from Epstein Barr and every visit had been easeful and informative. I highly recommend for anyone in prevention or healing from disorders.

Dr. Christianson is masterful at unraveling the reasons why someone is having health challenges. He is passionate about getting to the root of the problem and then is strategic about fixing it. His office staff is amazing, which is rare in a medical office. He is a blessing to me personally and to my patients that I send to him.

Dr. Christianson is such a special doctor. I have been meaning to leave a review for a while and have finally gotten around to it!
One of my favorite things about seeing him is the fact that he uses a scribe in his appointments. I went to another doctor who had his head buried in his clipboard and it made me really uncomfortable. I didn’t feel like I was being paid attention to. She (the scribe) made all the notes so that the doctor was able to sit and look me in the eye and actually be present during the appointment.
I definitely recommend Dr. Christianson and his team. Oh, and be sure to pick up some of their protein powder (I think it’s the adrenal protein powder?) it’s great for breakfast and it fills me up for the day. Go see them!

I am so blessed to have such a great doctor and his team. Thanks Dr Christianson and team for always helping me be well.

HE HAS GREAT MARKETING MATERIAL… BUT HE IS A LOUSY DOCTOR
Add me to the list of people that had a horrible experience with Dr Alan Christianson. After hearing him on multiple podcasts he seemed very knowledgeable and compassionate so I made an appointment. Unfortunately in person I realized he is more concerned with marketing himself as a friendly compassionate doctor than actually being one.
In person he came across as faking his friendliness and acted like a dictator rather than the compassionate guy he portrays on podcasts. He got visibly upset when I asked him questions and basically told me he’s seen 60,000 patients so I should do as he says. which entailed thousands of dollars of tests… I figured on the follow up appointment I would be able to ask questions. no. he was the same as the first appointment… he gave me a short answer of what he thought my problem was and his suggested treatment with minimal explanation. when I asked a few questions he again became agitated and acted rushed like he had given me my 5 minutes and now I was wasting his time. After spending thousands of dollars on his marked up blood tests I would expect a lot better service than that.
Anyways if you want an ego maniac with a serious «holier than thou» attitude who is more concerned with promoting himself than treating patients with decency. this is your guy. If you want a caring doctor that is willing to answer your questions and treat you with genuine concern look elsewhere.

I would recommend Integrative Health to anyone! I have been coming to Integrative Health for over 4 years now and I feel like family when I walk into the door. Everyone knows you by first name and greets you the minute you walk in the door. There isn’t a time where I have even felt a disconnect with staff member.
The office is clean, well rounded and friendly. The doctors in the office really care about the patients and know that being healthy is very important to our everyday lives. I have seen numerous doctors in the office and they have all made me feel like I am in good hands!

Dr. Christianson is so caring and wonderful! He quickly diagnosed my issue and literally saved my life!
The office is super clean and modern and the staff treats you like a super star. If you have an issue, he will find the root cause and prescribe a treatment that will help you heal, not just mask your symptoms. I highly recommend the Integrative Health team!

I’ve been debating whether or not to write this review for almost a year now… so here it goes.
I am not from Arizona, but I was referred to him by a nutritionist in the town that I live in. Long story short, last year I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease by the nutritionist and an Endocrinologist here in my town. So being told that Dr. Christianson was «the dude,» my family and I immediately bought 4 round trip plane tickets to Arizona to seek his help. I had already been sick for 9 months at the time, and I was so desperate to get better.
When we finally arrived, my Mom and I mentally prepared for a long appointment because we were told that he was thorough and compassionate.
We spent 25 mins with his assistant, who was very lovely.
Then Dr. C came in to discuss what was going on. After reviewing all of my labs he stated that I had Hashitoxicosis and that he had the correct protocol to treat me; saying that this would give me my life back. He saw me for a matter for 15 mins. It felt very rushed, but being told he was «the dude,» I was hopeful.
SO, when I got back home I started his method of treatment, and within weeks I started to go down hill. We had numerous Skype sessions with him, only for him to tell me to keep getting more blood work done. Eventually, he started saying that my thyroid was functioning perfectly fine, yet he wanted me to stay on the treatment. (A treatment to suppress my thyroid hormones.) So this made absolutely no sense to me.
Eventually, I was so bad I ended up bed ridden. And after numerous phone calls to try to get ahold of him, he suggested that I go to the ER.
So I did just that. All of my blood work came back perfectly fine. And when Dr. C read my blood work he stated that my white blood cells were high so I was fighting something.
This turned out to just be a sinus infection.
A week later, I was still bed ridden, yet he still wanted me to «stay the course with the treatment»
Finally, I had enough. Dr. C ordered one more extensive panel of blood work. Mind you, this was in November of 2014. Almost 1 year later, we STILL haven’t heard back from him to go over my labs. (Even after calling and leaving messages multiple times.)
Finally we moved on from him. I ended up seeing an amazing Endocrinologist from UCSF who re-​ordered every single thing I have ever been tested for. Turns out that I never had hashimotos or hasitoxicosis. The entire time I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Which I am still battling today.
What blows my mind, is that Dr. Christianson is suppose to be a world renowned expert in thyroid disease. Yet even reading my labs, he still diagnosed me with Hashimoto’s/Hashitoxicosis. It boggles my mind.
I believe he was way in over his head, and due to his ego, he could not admit that he had no clue what was going on with me.
I know this is a very long review, but I just want to give others a heads up. Yes, Dr. Christianson is a nice man, but he is honestly too busy and too focused on his fame to give proper treatment and attention to his patients. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had with a «doctor,» and I do not recommend going here. Unless you are Gena Lee Nolin, you’re not going to get the help you need.

Dr. Christianson is the best. His wonderful front office has changed and unfortunately does not complement the practice in anyway. Honestly, it is very sad. And at times apathetic, rude and unfriendly. Makes for an uncomfortable experience,

Top notch doctors and super friendly staff. I have been seeing Dr. Christianson here for two years and my life has been better for it. He was able to find things that have been adversely affecting my health for years and had long been under the radar of conventional medicine. I go in once a week for a nutritional IV and feel so much better each time I do it.
I took an 80 foot fall in January. I was very fortunate to have survived it and now I’m using this place to get back on my feet again. I’ve been going in for electric acupuncture which has been helping me regain some sensation from what was once my paralyzed lower right leg.
I’m looking forward to the next time I walk through their door. I know I’ll be greeted with a warm smile and sincere interest in how I’ve been.

The doctor does not seem to have the time to take care of his patients. We waited days just to get a prescription refill and his office staff is apathetic. They do absolutely no follow-​up and could care less. Advice … find another doctor.

From the moment I entered Integrative Health Care years ago, I was treated with great care. Dr Alan Glen Christianson is truly a genius and has great talent in the field of Natural Medicine. He has chosen an awesome staff who represents an amazing expansion of his philosophy in health care. The management at Integrative Health, is filled with knowledgable and happy people. I experience exceptional care at every appointment. Dr. Christianson and his staff, have embraced and honored me as a human being. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience. I will continue recommending all of your services for as long as I live. Lastly, my recovery from the brutal cancer treatments of radiation and chemotherapy, was so rapid, that my staff of oncology doctors were amazed. Thanks Integrative Health care. The custom IV vitamin cocktails you gave me, did the trick! ;-))
