He has been the very best thing that could happen to us as parents he answers every little question. I can get ahold of him weekends etc no problem and I dont have to question his answers! I know he is the very best in his field. I feel that he is a GOD send to us I thank GOD for him all the time!! I leave his office feeling confident that everything is fine. I wish I could give him a million dollars for his work because trust me he is worth every penny we spend to have him as our Dr. Plus more! Thank you Dr. Olson we Love you very much we are so glad to have you as our childrens Dr. !!!!!

Dr. Olson is wonderful. He provides exceptional care in a prompt friendly manner. As a new mom I was nervous about everything so when my 4 month old had a rash on a saturday afternoon I was worried. I called the after hours number and left a message. Within 10 minutes Dr. Olson was calling me back himself. I explained the rash and asked if I should take my child to ER or urgent care and he said he would meet me at the urgent care to see my child himself. You cannot ask for better care. Anytime I have needed to get my children in on a last minute visit ... Before vacation, the weekend, etc they have always been able to work me in the same day. The staff is vert friendly and helpful and the nurse practitioner is great. You cannot go wrong with Dr. Olson.

Dr. Olson took care of my siblings and I our entire childhood. He always got us in quickly when we were sick, and was great at treating our variety of illnesses, allergic reactions, and injuries. I would recommend him to anyone who wants their children to be cared for properly.

Dr Olson is an EXCELLENT doctor. He diagnosed my son's serious heart problem before the pediataric cardiologist. Dr Olson does very thorough care, is generous with his knowledge with other healthcare givers (I once saw him coach a nurse on diagnostic use of the stethascope) and he will go the extra mile every time to ensure your child gets the treatment he or she needs. We LOVE him.
