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.

Very knowledgeable and kind
About 9 years ago we set out on a search for a primary doc in our area. Saw Dr Olinver and felt very well taken care of. The waits might increase for him, but this is because he is thorough with all of his patients and makes sure you are satisfied and have covered all subjects you might have. He goes into great detail about what he has found and what treatments you may or may not need. He is always patient and kind!

Dr. Olinger shows his concern and takes the time to question and explain each situation on my visits. I feel comfortable with my Doctor and appreciate him. He explains my instructions thoroughly and makes sure I understand. I would recommend him to all!

I left my old doctor because they didn't "listen" to me. Dr. O is the best. He listens to what I am saying and doesn't make a decision on what is required BEFORE I explain my issue (unlike my old doctor).

Takes his time with you, explains things well, very, has a caring feeling towards your needs, and I feel very comfortable with his knowledge and expertise. I have been going to Dr. Olinger for quite sometime now and I moved to Kenosha and still continue to have him as my primary doc.
