The minute Dr. Olive walked into the room and made eye contact, I sensed this doctor cared not only about his patient's condition, but that he cared about the nature of their trauma and the decision they would be making regarding their treatment. He is compassionate and kind.

Saw Dr. Olive recently to schedule knee replacement surgery. He was prompt in see me and was informative about my upcoming surgery. He has been successively treating me for a number of years for knee pain and for the most part I have been pain free. However I decided to move forward with surgery at this time and he concurred with my decision. I give Dr. Olive 5 stars. I will revisit this matter in about 6 weeks.

Dr. Olive is very compassionate and genuinely wants to help you feel better and he is conservative too not wanting to rush into surgery if other means can help first.

Had a hip replacement about 18 months ago. Had been receiving shots prior to operation, since I needed to wait (personal factors). Dr Olive listened to concerns and answered all questions in a very courteous manner. Seems to really care about patients concerns. Results have been wonderful. I really appreciate him.

Last year I had a total hip replacement and Dr. Olive was my surgeon. I cannot find the words to express how much I sincerely appreciate Dr. Olive & his staff. The surgery has improved my quality of life 100%. Everything from the preparation for surgery, surgery, and post operative directions were excellent & totally professional. I am grateful for Dr. Olive & his staff who has performed a pain free miracle on my body. May God bless each one of them greatly.

Dr. Olive is not some one I would feel good about recomending for TKR. He did not do a good job on mine at all and now I am going to have another doctor try to redo the mess he made of my knee.

I have seen several Orthopaedic Surgeonthrough the years and Dr Olive is by far the best. I injuried my middle finger at work and Dr Olive repair it. I now have 100% use of my finger and the first doctor that looked at it wanted to amputate it at the first knuckle (finger tip end). Dr Olive repaired it and now it looks normal and I have 100% use of my finger and this happened only5 1/2 months ago. Two thumbs up for Dr. Olive! Plus his staff is great!
