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.

He is an outstanding surgeon and physician. He performed two surgeries on me today, both virtually painless. His skill is at the highest level. I recommend him as a first class surgeon and doctor. Michael C Berry CPA CFP

I would very much recommend Dr.Olsen- I received and am receiving excellent care for a hernia surgery-his office is well run, and his personal demeanor and care is top notch-thank you.

Dr Olsen performed my hernia surgery. I have had zero complications and that's the same number as my pain level. From day one my pain level never reached over a one. The prescription pain medication I was prescribed I still have because I didn't need it. If you want a doctor with a soft-spoken soothing bedside manner look elsewhere. If you want a highly skilled surgeon who tells it to you straight, I recommend Dr Olson. I give him a 5-star rating only because 10 stars are not available! 1-1-2021

I had an extremely urgent need for abdominal surgery. My bleeding ulcers were impeding my digestive pathway. Dr. Olsen used laparoscopic procedures to reform my digestive path. Removal of a portion 3 organs and a technique used in other gastric procedures and now my digestive system is operational again. Without the surgery I may have had to be relying on a feeding tube versus a meal. Dr. Olsen saved my way of life. He is great. I highly recommend him.

He diagnosed my injury as a sports hernia (ab rectus and adductor tears) which were verified by MRI. Given my age and lifestyle (not a pro athlete) he worked with a PT specialist to treat the hernia. Because of this, I was able to avoid surgery.

Tried to check in for my appointment & after the secretary at the front desk was not able to find my appointment in the schedule, a nurse for the Dr came out to tell me that my appointment had been cancelled but they made a mistake in not actually bothering to call & tell me. She very rudely made an excuse, then told me that the Dr said to go back to my old surgeons that I’ve not seen since 2012 and get re-evaluated. Didn’t matter a bit to them that my massive hernia is making life impossible.

I had an emergency appendectomy that blew apart inside me as soon as Dr. Olsen touched it. I came out of it healthy, happy and thrilled with his compassion for not only myself, but for my sister who was in the waiting room far longer than expected. Dr Olsen answered each and every question she had and took all the time she needed to be comforted and know her sister was ok. He explained everything he'd done for me. I highly recommend Dr. Olsen and his expertise and compassion. Janis K
