Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Patients appreciate
Dr. William Christensen receives overwhelming praise from patients, many of whom have been under his care for 20, 30, or even 40+ years. The most frequently mentioned strengths are his attentive listening and unhurried approach—patients consistently note that he never rushes appointments and takes time to thoroughly address questions and concerns. He is repeatedly described as caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, and personable, with excellent bedside manner. Many reviewers highlight his thoroughness in exams, his clear explanations of diagnoses and treatment options, and his inclusion of patients in shared decision-making. Numerous patients also praise his responsiveness, citing quick replies to portal messages and phone calls, as well as instances where he personally followed up after hospital stays or illnesses. His long-term relationships with patients and even multiple generations of the same family are frequently cited as evidence of deep trust and loyalty, and many reviewers also compliment his supportive office staff.
Patients also share
Constructive feedback in the reviews is minimal. A single review mentioned frustration with waiting a few days before being able to get well without medication, though the patient still viewed the outcome positively. Another isolated review simply noted "always takes times and addresses the reason for the appointment" without further elaboration, offering little critical detail. No recurring or significant complaints emerged across the reviews regarding wait times, scheduling, communication, or quality of care—criticism is essentially absent, with only occasional lower star ratings (4.0–4.8) that still contained positive comments.
