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 performed craniotomies on me in 2011 and 2012. I am grateful for his skill and attention to detail that has left me a survivor. He put extra effort into my first surgery to avoid possible career-ending damage. His diligence saw me return to work in 5 weeks.. in 2012, he adeptly removed all remaining fringe tumor growth. Additionally, when I arrived for prescheduled testing to be told I had been scheduled on the wrong day, his staff contacted him and Dr. Olson still accommodated me.

Dr Olson removed a malignant tumor from my son's brain. It had hemmoraged, which further complicated the surgery. We have worked with many oncologists since then who all reference the brilliance and success of the surgery as a major factor for their optimism for my son' prognosis. We could not be more grateful or pleased in regard to his surgery. Besides obviously being highly skilled and experienced, Dr Olson was very kind and patient with us. We highly recommend him without any hesitation.

I waited about 40 minutes to be called into an exam room and all in all 1 hour before I saw him. All that happened? Was told that I need 2 more tests and that what my Beaumont neurologist diagnosed me with is probably NOT what I have, even though he's looking at the same tests as she was. Nothing he said was explained very well. Why didn't he just tell me I needed the 2 additional tests before I came in?
