About Vet

Hi folks, I am a seasoned veterinarian with over 35 years of experience. I owned and operated a very successful solo veterinary practice for 23 years. Since 2017 I have worked as a relief/contract veterinarian for large and small clinics as well as for a very busy emergency clinic since selling my practice. I am a proponent of combining the best of all medical perspectives and I tend to offer OTC and natural therapies as often as possible, and where applicable. My wife and I are parents of 6 and grandparents of 19. Unfortunately, I am unable to prescribe medications through virtual appointments due to regulations in Utah, but I am usually able to to provide OTC options that really work for most situations.

Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship (VCPR) requires an in-person examination before diagnosing or prescribing is codified directly in statute: ​Utah Code § 58-28-102(20) (Veterinary Practice Act – Definitions) ​Under Utah Code § 58-28-102(20)(b), a valid VCPR requires that the veterinarian has "sufficient knowledge of the animal to initiate at least a general or preliminary diagnosis... by personal examination of the animal or by medically appropriate visits to the premises where the animal is housed."

Dr. Christensen did a great job of understanding the concerns and issues with my dog and came up with a very manageable plan for her. This was a great way to take care of her without an on site visit that traumatizes her.
