In 1996, Dr. Kristiansen realized her dream of starting her own infertility center by founding the Houston Fertility Center, where she serves as the Medical Director. Her goal in establishing this clinic and her own private practice "Where Women Specialize in the Care of Women" was to provide couples with complete and comprehensive infertility treatment in a compassionate, private environment that was easily accessible and affordable.
Dr. Kristiansen's Commitment to Her Patients
During her OB/GYN residency, Dr. Kristiansen became dedicated to addressing the challenges of infertility, in both the surgical and technical aspects:
"Seeing the smile on the face of my patient when we conquered the problem was addicting." Dr. Kristiansen
