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.

Very informative on my disease. Before I met her I had given up all hope of feeling better. Dr. Olsen and her Team changed that. I now look forward to waking up and participating in life instead of just watching it go by. I am extremely grateful for her care and compassion.

I would give zero
On the phone I told her my husband’s liver was decompensating. She disagreed, but finally agreed to see him. She was wrong. I was right. Then she laid out that when his meld score became worse, they’d admit him and do a transplant. After my repeated calls insisting she see him, he ended up in a local hospital. She said they would send for him. They never showed up. He died. Shortly before, my heart broken, I told him I wish he’d listened to me. He said, “I will listen to anything you tell me to do.” Life support removed, he died. If she had proceeded according to my and our local doctor’s recommendation, he’d, more than likely, still be alive.

Outstanding physician
I had the pleasure of being a client of Dr. Sonja Olsen in Florida recently, and I can honestly say that she is one of the best gastroenterologists I have ever seen. She offers a wide range of services, from diagnosing gastrointestinal issues to performing endoscopic procedures. She is calming, and patient and takes the time to discuss the procedures with her clients. She uses simple language to explain what to expect, making it much easier to understand what to expect. She is truly a great doctor, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doctor who is experienced and caring.

Incompetent Staff
I can only say that the staff at this office is incompetent and put the health of patients in danger. I waited 4 months for an appointment to follow up with Dr Olsen on my liver issues and they cancelled last minute saying dr Olsen can no longer see me, I need to see a GP. After about 15 calls they re-scheduled me in another 3 months with a junior doctor that has no specialization in liver.

I can''t give enough stars for Dr. Olsen. I have never met a more skilled, kind, and compassionate physician before. Not only is she clinically superior to any other physician I have worked with previously, she genuinely cares. I am so grateful to have found her.

Dr. Olsen is very warm, helpful, and professional. Her staff made sure I was fully prepared to know what to expect from my procedure and were available to answer all questions well ahead of time, and she called me the day before to make sure I was doing okay. I did not have to wait too long to schedule an appointment and the wait was short on the day of the procedure, and there was follow-up the day after. Dr. Olsen and her staff made an unpleasant process bearable.
