Dr Oliver did a great job on my partial knee replacement. I had a quick recovery and was back and active within 4 months. 2 years later I still have a great result.

Dr. Oliver was very compassionate, and sympathetic to my situation. She treated me thoroughly, and correctly, and was very clear about what to expect during recovery. The follow up appointments were matter of fact, and she is very trustworthy. Thank you Dr Oliver, for giving me my life back, and I wish you the best!

Great surgeon and I would never have gotten my knee fixed if it wasn't for her! She is not afraid to tell you if your condition is above her, and because of that, she referred me to another surgeon and put her work up for criticism. Definitely a great surgeon and a great person!

I would never suggest anyone going to this Dr. Terrible bedside manners. Poor listening skills. Acted like she could care less of injury. She ended up hurting my knee more and different location from what I went into see her for help.

Dr Oliver had no bedside manner. She did not smile at all, spoke like a robot, seemed essentially lifeless. If she just had a relative die or something, that might explain such behavior, but then she should have taken a day off or something.

A needed "partial" knee replacement promptly failed, and this arrogant doctor denied it could have failed for any reason, even when shown xray evidence of instability assembled by PATIENT months later. Accused patient of imagining or creating severe, recurring pain. Removal of device (and replacement to "total" knee) by a competent revision surgeon confirmed the partial device was "grossly loose" and had been progressively rotating. From evidence on the removed device, I question whether it even was installed optimally. Months of unnecessary pain caused other painful muscle-tendon misuse and recurrent mental agony. Doctor exhibited abysmal post-surgical care, discounted/dismissed patient reports, and was not concerned about patient outcome. Said things like "I've done my part" and that the patient was "micro-managing" (!!).

Great Doctor, she really listens to you and has a great approach for corrective surgery! Would recommend her for your orthopedic needs.
