Dr. Olson is truly a wonderful pain specialist. He is a retired neurosurgeon and is not satisfied with just treating pain - he makes it his job to discover the cause of the pain which hopefully can be corrected. I highly recommend him.

Overall, I was very impressed with Dr. Olson. He's very easy to talk with. This was my first appt and he spent 90 minutes delving into the history of my pain(s). I learned some valuable information that other specialists failed to disclose. I appreciate that he's not offering false hope, instead focusing on the reality of my pain(s) and ways to manage it effectively.
