Dr. Robert Olson, DPM

I had foot surgery by Mr. Olson and he was supposed to fuse some bones together which did not work. I am now in constant pain, and he ruined my foot. Mr. Olson is like a Wolf in Sheeps Clothes. I highly recommend you always get a 2nd opinion before having surgery by Mr. Olson. Avoid him at all costs.

I do not recommend going to him, he never told he was going to put a plate in my foot. However the screen has broken and bones never fused together and I now have to have the surgery all over again. I heard he messed a lot of other patients surgeries up.

I had surgery to repair a ruptured tendon which resulted in drop foot neuropathy far worse pain now than before I will have to wear an afo indefinitely when asking him what went wrong he just shrugged and said it’s weird I don’t know

He is NOT qualified as a reconstruction surgeon. He lied and said he was. He did two reconstructions on my foot and now I'm permanently a deformed gimp. Bad fusions, bone damage, tainted hardware and constant pain. His response when I asked why isn't the foot corrected, ' I don't know ' and shrugged his shoulders. I will be in a orthopedic boot for the rest of my life. The foot won't fit in a normal shoe. UGH!!! Don't go to him for anything more than a corn or bunion.

Had surgery over year ago. Foot is still numb and he left carolina orthopedic in Gastonia and other doctors in practice won't do anything. Foot still has swelling. Still has some pain and neuropathy.

He, messed my toe surgery up and now it's permanently damaged for the rest of my life.

The doctor who treated me was Dr. Olson. I felt his treatment did not meet the standard of care and has left me permanently disabled.

He did tendon surgery and one week post op when he removed my splint the incision was necrotic and smelled. He just passed it off as a hematoma and wrapped it back up in the splint. 2 weeks post op he took off the splint and the whole area looked like hamburger meat with the incision had Dehiscence. I was non weight bearing for 6 months with a wound vac. Also I could not work. I had to learn to walk again. He never said that he was sorry. Don’t let him do any surgery on you. I found out that I was not the only infection he had-many more

He was a great doctor to my husband

kind, & caring..very thorough
