Dr. Crist grew up in Shelbina, Missouri and attended medical school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. After his family medicine residency at St. John’s Mercy Medical Center in St. Louis, he served three years on active duty as an A-10 flight surgeon in the United States Air Force. He is a former president and current member of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM). Dr. Crist has a nationwide practice, seeing patients from almost all fifty states.
The primary goal of his practice is to find and eliminate the root causes of symptoms that his patients deal with daily. If you are looking for a doctor that will take the time to not only discover what is causing your symptoms, but will also make sure you are heard during your appointment, Dr. Crist is the one for you. From long appointment times, to extensive methods for testing and treatment, Dr. Crist examines your symptoms through a number of different lenses. After years of experience dealing with chronically ill patients Dr. Crist says, “When patients use words like weird, strange or crazy, usually they have a Lyme disease-like illness.” The symptoms that his patients face vary extensively and no one patient is exactly like another. Tick-borne infections may imitate almost any symptom or disease, but the top medical problems Dr. Crist diagnosis and treats are pain, fatigue, brain/cognitive, eye, and neurological problems. A lot of time and care is put into diagnosing and helping each patient and ninety-seven percent of Dr. Crist’s patients get better after his treatments.

Patient Testimonials

Dr. Charles Crist, MD, PCI have been under Dr. Crist’s care now for about 6 years, and I can honestly say he saved my life. After 10 ½ months of being misdiagnosed and basically abandoned by my family doctor and the local medical community, I was feeling pretty lost and hopeless. It’s hard to describe how much hope my first appointment with Dr. Crist gave me, because I had gone through months of seeing doctors that told me anything from “Lyme Disease doesn’t exist in Kansas” to “You’re just depressed.” Dr. Crist is everything all of those doctors were not: he is kind, knowledgeable, patient, and most of all he listens. With Dr. Crist you’re getting an MD that “gets you” and has devoted his career to researching and treating tick borne diseases. It’s because of Dr. Crist that I have what I have today, and that is my life back

I began seeing Dr. Crist 6 months ago. I was very impressed with how knowledgeable and thorough he is. He assessed each of my symptoms and did not discount any of them. I attribute my improvement to his effort as a physician to stay current in his field and to listen to me as a patient. I feel fortunate to have found out about him.

Dr. Charles Crist is truly the best doctor I have ever met. I am so thankful to God that I found him. I did a google search for the "best Lyme doctor in the United States" and his name came up. I went all the way from New Jersey to Missouri to see him. It was well worth the drive because I finally got diagnosed with Lyme Disease and got help. He has treated over 10,000 Lyme Disease patients; I now know why he is one of the best Lyme doctors. He is now training other doctors in the protocol of treating Lyme. He spends about one hour and a half with each patient on their initial visit. How many doctors would do that? The office staff is friendly and have "walked the extra mile" for things that I have needed. It is worth the trip and the 6-7 month wait to see this doctor. He is truly God's gift to a broken and hurting world.

After 22 years of suffering from a mysterious chronic illness, dozens of visits to medical specialists, and years of misdiagnoses, I was blessed to have found Dr. Crist. He listened as I recalled myriad symptoms that plagued me for over two decades, and he promptly ordered the testing necessary to confirm the proper diagnoses that others had missed. His extensive knowledge of tick-borne diseases, his effective treatment plan, and his compassion for those who have been mistreated/neglected by the medical community gave me hope and the chance to reclaim my life. I’m convinced that he, along with his medical staff, saved my life; something for which I will be extremely grateful.

I am extremely thankful to be a patient of Dr. Crist. The diagnoses and treatments that I’ve received from him have helped more than any other Dr. that I’ve seen. I spent 20 years visiting many Dr.s all over the country before an infectious disease specialist found out that I had Lyme Disease. That Dr. treated me with antibiotics but I never saw much improvement. Since becoming a patient of Dr. Crist he has found and treated many other issues that present the same symptoms as Lyme Disease. His individualized treatment plan has already helped me, but more importantly given me hope that as we continue I can get back to normal.

I highly recommend Dr. Charles Crist. I had my first appointment with Dr. Crist in September 2000. A few days after this appointment, I began to feel better and was able to return to work full time. It took me 3 months to find and see Dr. Crist. So getting to a doctor like Dr. Crist whom is very knowledgeable concerning Borreliosis/Master’s Disease can be a real life saver. I am from out of state, but it is well worth the drive/fly to see Dr. Crist in Missouri. I have been his patient for 18 years.

Dealing with so many illnesses over 20+ years until I could not walk well, no stairs, falling and couldn’t get out of chairs on my own, memory issues.... on and on. Had tests run by neurologist came up with positive Lyme and RMSF. Got records from 23 years ago with a missed positive Lyme and no treatment. Referred to Dr Crist who absolutely saved my life. He treats Lyme, RMSF and the related problems. His visits are complex and he’s insightful, although you leave wishing he wasn’t right. Years of misc treatment, antibiotic therapy mostly, and a variety of other treatments have made a huge difference! Every person he treats is different, your body reacts differently, your at a different stage, can’t take certain meds, on and on. You only live once and often with these chronic illnesses, you really aren’t living. Worked in the medical field my whole life fighting with insurance who won’t cover or pay, yatta.. he’s self pay so he doesn’t have to fight to take care of his patients. God bless

Dr Crist is being used by the Lord to save my life. After 9 other specialist and 18 months of extreme illness, he was able to diagnose & treat me for tickborn illness. He is the most thorough doctor I've ever met and listened to everything I had to say. His staff are kind and his office is extremely efficient. They have this down to a science and waste none of your time or resources. May God bless Dr Crist, his family & staff!
