Christian C. Obah MD's reviews
Write ReviewPatient Experience with Dr. Obah
- Kristin
Dr. Christian (Kris) Obah, M.D. is uncommonly kind, decent, and genuine. I believe he genuinely cares that his patients receive the best care he can provide, and that their quality of life improves because of his treatment. Dr. Obah is knowledgeable, bright, and answers questions and concerns thoroughly. I've been so impressed with his considerate care and the way he actually listens to what I'm saying (a rarity among today's doctors) and allows me to be the professional about myself (while he's the professional about pain management medicine), that I've followed him from the conclusion of his fellowship at U of U, to a clinic in Ogden, and now to his clinic in Kaysville. I've recommended him to dozens of friends, family members, and acquaintances over the nine years I've been his patient. Yes, Lifespring Pain Management has had serious issues in the recent past with staffing, wait times, and quality of care (from some of the staff). I've witnessed implementation of significant changes (additional providers, expanding the clinic's size and quantity of exam rooms, quadrupling restrooms, doubling the waiting area, moving to entirely digital charting, and :::installment of a superb administrator:::). I see these investments in the practice as more examples of Dr. Obah's genuine concern for his patients. Dr. Obah is multi-lingual. Nigerian by birth, he's fluent in several languages including Spanish and English. He makes significant effort to understand and to be understood. I've been a Registered Nurse for 31 years, and have phenomenal trust and respect for Dr. Christian Obah on a professional level and as his patient. I trust him. I'm grateful for his supportive and kind nature. To anyone suffering from severe pain (whether temporary or chronic), I highly recommend Dr. Obah.
