"Dr." Olsen lies to patients, blames his office staff, keeps his procedure team waiting & disregards written directives from other more knowledgable medical professionals. Do your research & don't accept a referral to this man. His only objective is to keep stringing people along with bogus minimal pain-masking to have a pricey house in Boulder.

"Dr." Olsen should not be practicing medicine. He does not care for the people he sees in his practice and his lack of concern is evident in everything from his care to his bad attitude, something that has rubbed off on his staff. The lack of standards, low morale and disregard is exactly why you should steer very clear of Dr. Olsen and his office.

This doctor worked in the office of a vary well known orthopedic surgeon and yet could not get an appointment for me for herniated disc surgery. After 3 months working with Olsen I ended up flat on my back in constant pain for over 30 days. Found a neurologist surgeon who removed part of the disc and have been pain free ever since.

I had a aponment and I noticed mostly all of his patient's files are allover the place some are stacked on each other.That just makes me really uncomfortable you could see them when you are talking to the receptionist.

Dr. Olsen does not know how to respect a person because it seems like if he talks to you like a kid.It seems like if he does not know what he's talking about he looks at my MRI gave me wrong information because I went to two different doctors and they gave me the same information totally different information that Dr.Olsen gave me.

Dr. Olsen spent the time to make sure he documented everything, went over everything, not to miss anything, and was detailed, not over-simplistic in diagnosis, and accurate. His staff was very friendly, and accomodating.
