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.

Dr. Olson and his staff are wonderful. He listens very carefully and understands exactly what you need. He took the time to answer all my questions and talk to me and I felt very positive about the visit. You could not ask for a better headache doctor. I highly recommend him

Live changing Experience
I was referred to Dr. Olson by my Neuro Surgeon to treat my Essential Tremor. Dr. Olson reviewed all the Medications that had not worked for me in the Past. He was very compassionate and listened. Because of that, we found a Medication that I can tolerate and that helped me immensely. I also received alternative Treatment Options and Aides that I took Advantage of. I was also treated for severe Neuropathy. Doctor Olson never gave up on me! Because of Dr. Olson's interest in my Opinion and with his Advice on alternatives and his Compassion, I only have to take my Tremor Medication on Occasion, and my Neuropathy also only flares up occasionally. Dr. Olson gave me my life back, and I am immensely grateful.

Though I waited a bit to be seen I've seen dr. Olson twice in about 6 years for a non-surgical problem but he spent a good 30 minutes with me going over my entire history, doing a physical exam, and being very thorough and explaining my diagnosis and what my options were. I would highly recommend him. He also has a nice sense of humor. I have seen some negative reviews regarding the office support staff and they seem much less interested in the patients though dr. Olson does seem to care greatly.

At the age of 50 my CNS freaked from moderate deformities of knees and hips, physical labor starting @ ten, chronic lumbar pain @ 17, cervical injuries/moderate pain from 25, arthritic hips@ 35, moderate–severe lumbar arthritis @ 50. I started having severe, body wide phantom pain and muscle spasms. No one would treat me without a "serious" injury— probably thought I wanted pain killers. I was suicidal, and probably appeared insane. Dr. Olson treated me without pain killers, and saved my life.
