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 is the best as well as my other Dr.'s.

Hard to hear and understand through the TeleHealth experience. Doctor probably should have called me so we could have had a better connection.

Office visit with Dr. Doug Olson
Dr. Olson takes time to thoroughly review all my blood work. He is very aware of any changes since my last visit. Dr. Olson listens to my concerns and is very proactive in his medical care. I have been a patient of Dr. Olson for over 12 years - he knows me and I trust and respect him. I have had a very concerning diagnosis (at least to me) and Dr. Olson referred me to a rheumatologist and I am doing very well. I appreciate his willingness to involve other physicians in my care when necessary. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Olson - he's top notch!
