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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Olen?
I've had two hernia repair surgeries by Dr. Olen (24 years apart). I can honestly say, he is one of the nicest physicians I've ever dealt with and an extremely skilled surgeon. While I don't want any more surgeries, if necessary, Dr. Olen would be my first pick. I only wish all doctors were as caring and had his bedside manner.

My mom had a ileostomy the first week of Feb and Dr. Olen said he will be able to reverse it in 3-5 months depending on the progression of her healing. It has now been 5 months and my parent have heard nothing. My father has left several messages because Dr. Olen is always in surgery! He called my father back only once but he was working so Dr. Olen left a message that he tried calling back. My father called again a few more times and nothing!! I have called twice and again nothing!!!

Dr.Olen is a great surgeon. I had no fear and complete confidence in him prior to the emergency surgery he performed. His follow-up care was very thorough.
