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.

Farewell to a Great Doctor.
I have been very fortunate to have had Dr. Olafsson as my Cardiologist. He has treated me for several years. He has done three cardiac caths on me and followed up on other cardiac problems I had . He always was very caring, compassionate, understanding & very knowledgeable. I have trusted him completely with my health. I wish him the very best in his retirement. St. Thomas will lose a very special Dr. I will miss him terribly. He is the Best.

Thank you Dr. Olafsson!!
Dr. Olafsson literally saved my life in August, 2019. I had 2 episodes of minimal shortness of breath. When I saw him, he immediately ordered sone screening tests that indicated I needed a Heart Cath. The procedure was set up 5 days later. He found 4 blockages and told me I was not leaving the hospital! I had a Quadruple Bypass and have had Great follow up visits for the past 3 years!! He is a pleasure to talk to because he not only listens, but is so professional and educational!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Olafsson since March of 2006. He performed a heart cath. and I had by-pass surgery the next morning. I wouldn't think of going to anyone else. Glenda Sanders in Obion, TN 38240 March 11,2022

Our first encounter with Dr. Olafsson was 24 years ago & he now sees multiple family members. He is extremely knowledgeable & takes all the time he needs to with you. You could not ask for a better cardiologist!

Was having a major problem had seen Olafsson on a previous occasion and was scheduled for another appointment on March 30, 2015. My condition worsened. I requested to see him early because of my problem. Olafsson REFUSED to see me early told me to come in as scheduled. Decided to go to office a week early (March 23, 2015). I was in a wheel chair unable to walk. Sent a nurse into the waiting room to see me ? Enter St. Thomas Hosp in Nashville.via emergency room. Recovery Began.
