Overview

Philosophy of care | I’ve always looked to make a positive impact on the members of the community I served. It’s worked out quite well so far. | Why I entered medicine | My grandfather was a pharmacist in India and his wish was for me to become a doctor. Since I was a young boy, I thought it was my destiny. | Community involvement | I have very young children, but we already take them to the public library as often as we can. I’ve supported the Philadelphia Zoo, the Bronx Zoo and the National Wildlife Federation. | Personal interests | I enjoy astronomy and playing chess.

Dr. Christian is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). His top areas of expertise are Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), Familial Hypertriglyceridemia, Osteomyelitis in Children, and Familial Hypertension.
