On my first visit when I was trying to explain my issue, he told me to, "Use your words" which in all honesty should have told me I don't need to come back for a second visit. On my second visit, while I was lying on my back with my hands folded on my stomach, he came in and said I looked, "a little too comfortable." Sometimes it's more than whether or not you can help your patient, it's whether you are someone they want to see again. I wont' ever be back.

I went to Dr. Christoffersen for a hip replacement. A colleague in his department referred me to…read morehim. I had an x-ray taken about 6 months before that showed my cartilage was very thin in the area. I had a steroid shot that helped for several weeks by his colleague. My pain had gotten really bad radiating to my knee and down from my hip. Dr. Christophersen said that pain in my knee and down wasn't associated with the hip which isn't true. He wanted me to get another opinion and I would have to go over the hill to the San Jose area to a doctor, I was already in so much pain, He didn't seem to care. His colleague thankfully gave me the name of an orthopedic surgeon from Golden State Medical Group in Capitola. Each time you see a doctor it takes a month to get an appointment, This Dr. took an x'ray. In a month he scheduled me for hip replacement surgery. He also did the anterior approach with is a much quicker recovery than the posterior approach which Dr. Christoffersen performs. Its been four months and I am back at Zumba with little pain. I am thankful to have been sent to this doctor by his colleague. I really felt like Dr. Christophersen had no sympathy for my pain. He could have taken another x-ray and seen it was deteriorating. If you are having hip surgery go to Golden State. I was able to cross over from Palo Alto Medical foundation, thankfully!

I had a frozen shoulder, my second in the last 10 years. MRI confirmed the Dx. Two weeks prior to…read morethis post I had the arthroscopy with MUA (manipulation under anesthesia). After the nerve block wore off I had and still do have a great deal of pain. I never had a lot of contact with Dr. Welle himself - some pre op, the day of surgery, and a post op. I believe everything's gone to plan. Everything was explained by him personally as well as two PAs. The way I see it working at Sutter is the physicians do the surgical procedures while the PAs manage the cases - communications, Rx, meet with the patients. For example, the PA issued a nausea patch to wear behind my ear 2 days prior and the day prior to surgery. Anesthesia makes me nauseous and I had that experience this past November for bladder surgery. The PA manages my pain meds and has written the Rx for them. Any questions I have gone to the Sutter portal and communicate directly to the PA. Like I said, Dr Welle himself has had several meetings with me for Q&As. No problems. No attitude problems, no communication problems, and so forth. This was my 3rd orthopedic experience on myself and 6th orthopedic experience overall between myself and other immediate members of my family. I had no problems at all. I had and still do have complete trust in Dr. Welle and his staff. If you understand how Sutter works then things go smoothly and as expected. Use the Sutter communication portal (MyHealthOnline.org. or something like that) after you've become an established patient and they respond within a reasonable time.
