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.

Bad Experience
While a patient of Dr. Olsofka, my wife experienced inadequate communication, lack of personal attention, and the overall feeling of being rushed.The results of the surgery he performed have led to complications and distress that had to be remediated by another medical professional.

Great Surgeron
I saw Dr. Olsofka this afternoon for a permanent gastric stimulator. Dr. Stocker referred me to him. He was super nice. He took his time with my mom and me, and he answered all my questions. He also took me seriously about my concerns, and was friendly about it. His staff were super friendly and helpful. The office was a little run down, but clean and organized. I was able to get an evaluation appointment within two days, and had an appointment for surgery within two weeks. Great timing for me. I would recommend him.

Made an appointment two weeks in advance for lap band issues only to get there for the staff to tell me that I needed a referral from my physician office. Now mind you that I drive all the way from Lexington Kentucky to Louisville and made the scheduler aware when I made the appointment. Only to have the lady tell me that it was my responsibility to get a referral. Hello.. I wasn’t told that I needed one. So instead of seeing me or trying to fix the problem all she said was I’m sorry. Very ??
