How likely are you to recommend Dr. Olson?
Dr. Olson is a phenomenal surgeon and doctor. She’s smart, skillful, and genuinely cares about her patients. My appendix burst after another surgeon’s misdiagnosis. I had a lot of complications from it, and Dr. Olson carried me through it all. She patiently explained everything and made all the right calls to ensure my full, speedy recovery. Dr. Olson did my appendectomy and bowel resection surgery and was able to find and remove the exact part of my small bowel that was causing most of my problems. After my surgeries, Dr. Olson personally checked on me every day. I will never forget how safe and assured she made me feel during the most vulnerable time in my life. No words can describe how talented, dedicated and thorough Dr. Olson is - she’s simply the best and I wish more doctors were like her!
