Geoffrey Christian, CO, of the Orthopliance Group, headquartered in Toluca Lake, California, is as much a firm believer in technical skills as he is in relationship-building skills to meet the needs of his pediatric patients and their parents. Aside from trying to be as “kid friendly” as possible and explaining each step of the treatment to the child he is treating, he also understands the importance of his relationship with the patient’s parents or guardians. As part of that relationship, he offers access to care in convenient locations by providing services through the local public school district’s on-campus medical therapy units so his patients miss fewer classes, or he meets with them at offices that are more convenient for the family. And because he understands the social impact of wearing a brace, Christian balances the best physical solution with their social concerns.
