Ian Christensen, M.D.

Dr. Ian Christensen is a comprehensive ophthalmologist specializing in cataract surgery as well as medical and surgical management of a wide range of eye diseases including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and dry eye. He has a particular interest in premium intraocular lens implantation with the latest technologies designed to optimize vision following cataract surgery.

Dr Christensen was born in Provo, UT but was mostly raised overseas in China due to his father’s work in the US Foreign Service. He is therefore fluent in Mandarin, Chinese and conversational in Spanish and loves to use his linguistic abilities at work. He completed his undergraduate degree in Chinese Language and Literature at Brigham Young University and attended medical school at the University of Utah School of Medicine. He went on to complete his ophthalmology residency at the prestigious University of Southern California Roski Eye Institute where he was recognized for his advanced surgical skills and unique ability to connect with a diverse array of patients.

Dr. Christensen lives in Portland with his wife and two cats and enjoys hiking, camping, biking, and playing pickleball.

Eye Health Northwest puts their patients first. I had some lightning streaks going through my left eye and they got me in within hours. This was the first time I saw and meant Dr Christiansen. He was thorough and made sure he calmed my nerves by communicating throughout the exam. I need to go back within a month for follow-up to make sure there is no damage. I drive over an hour to be seen in this office. Well worth the drive!

This was my first visit with Dr. Christensen. I found him to be personable, knowledgeable and highly engaging to talk with, both about my eye health and other topics. He was unequivocal in his recommendation that I would benefit from early cataract surgery (mainly to resolve my early-stage glaucoma), and he explained clearly all aspects of this decision. In summary, I think he is a great addition to the staff of Eye Health Northwest.

The staff was excellent and professional. Everything went well until checkout, where the procedure is to get back at the END IF the line at reception! I just needed to check out, and I had to wait for EIGHT people in front of me. Very inefficient. I’ve literally never been to a doctor’s office where they didn’t have a separate line for checkout. I highly recommend this change.
