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.

Great surgeon and Officer!
The entire staff was extremely accommodating, they wanted to help me, that was very clear. Always positive and supportive, I could not have asked for a better team! Doctor Olsen’s bedside manner and genuine car me was greatly appreciated, I would recommend that anyone who needs a knee replacement ask for him

Total Left Knee Replacment
I’m 6’-3”, 295 lbs and should have replace the knee about five plus years ago. Dr. Olsen completed the procedure Oct 10th, 2025. Today I am back to 100% with light going, biking, swimming, treadmill and elliptical with no issues. Highly recommend Dr. Olsen and his team. No issues during or after the process. Follow the procedures post op and walk, walk and walk along with constant stretching.

Orthopedic Surgeon
Very up front, straightforward, and honest about my hip replacements and my recovery process. He briefed me on every step of my pre-op, surgery, and post-op, and followed up with me monthly with regard to my recovery to make sure that I was getting all of the help and resources I needed to make a full recovery. Very personable and easy to talk to and to understand. 10 out of 10 would absolutely recommend to anyone for any orthopedic procedure!

Total Hip Rrplacement
Dr. Olsen performed my total Hip replacement. He was very thorough and his team prepared me very well for the surgery. The joint replacement class provided was especially helpful in understanding how to prepare for my home career after surgery. I am very, very happy with the result. I healed quickly and had no post surgery issues or concerns thanks to Dr. Olsen care.

OUTSTANDING DOCTOR, OUTSTANDING TECHNOLOGY
Dr. Olson is THE BEST, very professional and ensured I was well informed on the TKA procedure and the benefits of utilizing MAKO Robotics technology during the surgery. I'm currently 6 weeks post surgery with full range of motion and very little swelling. Very satisfied with my surgery. Dr Olson ROCKS! #MAKOROBOTICS

Right Knee Replacement Surgery
Dr. Olsen is an amazing Orthopedic surgeon, Doctor and person. He listens to all concerns and answers all question thoroughly he provided superb care and treatment pre-op, through surgery, post op and setting up for my left knee. I am 3 months post op and the scar is almost unnoticeable and my limiting factor is my non surgery knee I haven’t felt this good on my surgery knee since my 20’s. He is the very best at what he does if you are having orthopedic issues and you get Dr Olsen know you are getting the best there is. Trust his recommendations completely follow his guidance and he will lead you to success.

Total Hip Replacement
Dr. Olsen performed my total hip replacement six weeks ago. He and his entire team were outstanding. From my initial consultation all the way through to the completed surgery, he managed all expectations, explaining in detail what to expect every step of the way. A consummate professional, the surgery went flawlessly. This has allowed me to recover fully in minimal time, allowing me to resume all normal activities pain free. Highly Recommended.

This Doctor is a Rockstar!!!!
I met Dr Olsen in nov 2023 and after looking at my X-rays he walked in the room and said omg!! My hip was bone on bone and had been for years! I was born with a dislocated hip and was told I would need a hip replacement by 40 and here I am at 55 in pain and no doctor that I’ve seen in the past 15 years willing to do it!! Dr Olsen listened to me!! How much pain I was in, how I’m now missing out on my grand children’s lives because I can’t hardly do anything. This guy, whom I am forever grateful for, scheduled me for surgery and and I’m like a new person! I wish I had gone to him years ago! He is phenomenal. I was walking that night and by my two week check up you’d of hardly known I had surgery, he’s that good. I can not say enough good things about this doctor!!! He is so personable, explains everything to you!! I am now pain free, thanks to Dr Olsen doing my hip replacement. Thank you for giving me my life back!!!
