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.

HARDWARE PULLED AWAY FROM BONE
I am only 5 weeks out from surgery and Olson says I am healed. The hardware in my wrist is lifted away from the bone and he asked if I had fallen. I did not fall. I took this question as trying to lay blame on me for his poor surgery.I wish I had been in a better condition to pick a surgeon. If you have a choice I would tell you to look further for a wrist surgeon!

Great experience!
Staff was friendly, and Dr. Olson did a great job with my first surgery, so I did not hesitate to go back to him for this next one.

Excellent!!
I waited so long to have my carpal tunnel surgery. Had I realized how easy it was for Dr Olsen to help me I would have done it sooner. Incisions were very small. I only need Ibuprofen after the surgery for discomfort.. Thank you Dr Olsen for taking my sleepless painful nights away!

Highly recommend!
Dr Olson we have seen many times (unfortunately, lol) my daughter has broken each arm and we were always recommended to see Dr Olson by our family doctor and have always enjoyed his company and time. Always answers all our questions and talks in a language we can understand as parents rather than terms we wouldn’t understand as we are clearly not doctors. High recommend Dr Olson.

Follow up appointment after surgery
Starting with being called back, I was treated very respectfully and very professionally. I had the soft cast removed and then was taken in for x-rays before I saw Dr. Olsen. The visit with Dr. Olsen was pleasant as he was pleased with how the x-rays showed the progress. He then had his assistant re-wrap a soft cast. He has ordered Norco fit me with a wrist splint and I see him again in four weeks. He also ordered an ultrasound on my leg to make sure that there is no problems from a blood clot or anything due to the swelling. Becky was very helpful in rescheduling for all the appointments I had to do and gave me directions for the Norco to order the wrist splint

Everyone was in such a rush. Felt very impersonal.
Everyone except the front desk spoke so fast and felt as if they were in a race to get done. I understand getting to the next patient is important but take 2 minutes and slow down to speak with my and not speak at me.
