About
More about me and why I love what I do!
Hi Rhianne here! (Pronounced “Ray-Ann”) I’m from Anchorage Alaska and I’m a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner. I am a solo provider practice, offering a concierge or hand holding approach to fertility care.
Prior to pursuing my Master’s Degree in Nursing, I worked closely alongside a Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility (REI) specialist, Dr. Ursula Balthazar, here in Anchorage, and with this work, my passion for infertility care grew.
I’m excited to come alongside families in the fertility process in a new way, with a higher level of attention, care, education and emotional support to families navigating infertility.
More About Me….
I was born and raised in Anchorage. I earned both my Bachelor and Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Alaska Anchorage, in addition to pursing post graduate studies at
Georgetown University. My background extends from surgical nursing to women’s healthcare and obstetrics.
I pursued further education in advanced reproductive technology, ultrasonography, and training with Reproductive Endocrinologists and Infertility specialists at Pacific NW Fertility in Seattle Washington. I am trained in the diagnosis and treatment of infertility and am an active member of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine.

Testimonials
Our Patients Love Us
“When I first arrived at Rhianne’s office in 2018 I was nervous and stressed after seeing multiple other doctors. I have PCOS and we had been trying for years to get pregnant on our own.
We struggled with trying to get pregnant for almost 3 years. We had talked to a previous provider before getting in touch with Rhianne. They did not give us the tools and assistance we needed.
Rhianne Christopherson has been such a blessing to myself and my husband during our fertility journey. Being a military family, it can be hard to find a provider you can trust and count on.
Rhianne is very responsive and answered all of my questions thoroughly. She really made me feel like I was a big part of my own care plan rather than having a specific protocol thrust upon me. She was proactive to make changes to my tailor-made plan when they were needed, and I fell pregnant! Now she is handling the first several weeks of my pregnancy care and I feel so at ease knowing she is ordering all the tests I need and getting the scans I need. I highly recommend her!

There are few people on this earth that have the ability to make you feel comfortable speaking your fears. Rhianne’s open and vibrant personality in combination with her wealth of knowledge in the field of fertility are one of a kind. Her willingness to make her schedule work for you and get you in quickly are icing on the cake. I couldn’t feel more blessed to have gotten to be “coached” by Rhianne as she helped transform one of the most challenging times into a little piece of hope.'
