Douglas Olsen
"My First impression of Dr. Olsen was that he was very knowledgable. I was particularly impressed with his stong background in laparoscopy. He was actually involved in some of the very first laparoscopic prcedures ever. He is patient and understanding. He explained everything to me and my family as many times as I needed. He visited me at least once everyday I hospitalized, sometimes even twice. His staff is great too!! I dealt mostly with his nurse, Terri. She is so friendly. I must have called her a thousand times but she never seemed bothered or "put out" by my calls. Even just today, I had a post op question and Dr. Olsen called me back personally. What a wonderful doctor! He told me about all of the risks in detail several times, even up to the morning of surgery. He went over the risks again to make sure I understood. The aftercare is very structured, Dr. Olsen works with a nutritionist who also vistied me everyday. Everything is mapped out a week at time as far as what you should and shouldnt be doing. I know its not very imformative if there are no negative comments, but I swear to you I honestly, 100% have nothing negative to say about Dr. Olsen, his staff, or his work. I didnt expect to feel as bad as I did afterwards, but thats because I had never experienced surgery before, It wasnt the doctors fault. you can read more about that as I update my profile!!"
