Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

not the guy you should go to…
His treatment did Nothing for me He stopped halfway through my pain injections, and with me facing head down,(while he was sticking my back) said : ”hmmmm?”…the ex-ray tech also said the same thing…no explanation from the doc-as to what “hmmmm” meant -but clearly they did not know what to do. Really disturbing. No follow up in the summary notes afterwards.

Doctor Olson became my pain management Doctor by default. I have to say, that I have been treated well by him and his assistant Meagan, and would recommend him to anyone who needs manipulative, and diagnosis care for any spinal ailment. He just performed a steroid injection in my back this last week, and it is the first time that sedation was not needed. Careful, and concise in his procedure. My L-5 is feeling better than it has all year.

Dr. Olson clearly and concisely explained my condition to me. He has a tremendous ability to communicate with patients in a way that is explanatory, but not over their head. I wouldn’t go to another doctor for any spine-related conditions
