Dr. Christianakis isproud to be “a born-and-raised SoCal kid,” graduating from Burbank High School and spending his entire undergraduate and medical school experience at USC. He considers teaching future doctors an honor and a way to serve his community.
“I approach the care of my patients as I would approach the care of my wife and two kids. It is really as simple as that.
The shared decision-making that is cultivated in a relationship is one that requires a great deal of trust. When a patient places their trust in you, it is something that cannot be taken lightly. In turn, I am very forthcoming to my patients in allowing them to express their concerns and misgivings so as to honor their trust.”
