Dr. Olson was kind, attentive and helpful. It was a routine physical, but he could not have been more engaged.

Verified patient
Dr Olson was personable, attentive and spent time talking and listening to me. This was my first experience seeing Dr Olson and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a quality primary care physician.
Verified patient
Dr. Olson seemed nice enough and affable but his support staff were not very friendly. His support staff was impersonal and perfunctory. My appointment was supposed to be 10.30 am but only started at about 10.40 or 10.45 am. It's all about the tone.
Verified patient
Dr. Olson is very nice and I felt he listened to my problems and truly did his best. His office staff is atrocious. They were screaming at each other during my entire wait (the reason that the wait was so long) and now I've had multiple problems with my insurance claim because they didn't enter it properly, and every time I call to try to figure it out they are SO INCREDIBLY RUDE and treat me like an idiot and do not listen at all to what I'm trying to explain to them. Just terrible. He needs to hire a new front office staff.
Verified patient
Dr. Olson was wonderful! As a new patient, he immediately greeted me and began thoroughly discussing my medical history. I was thoroughly impressed with his bedside manner and am happy to have found a new doctor!
Verified patient
very professional, didn't rush me. the only thing I didn't like was the lay at the front desk. she didn't even acknowledge me when I stood therefor almost 5 minutes. she was too busy talking to her co-worker.
I've been to see Dr. Olson twice so far. He was fantastic! The reviews on here do not lie! He was personable, knowledgeable, and the wait time was excellent. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a new primary care doctor!
Verified patient
Very happy I choose to see Dr. Olson. He was kind, professional and truly listened to what I was saying. Couldn't be happier with my new Dr.
Verified patient
Dr. Olson is great. He obviously knows what he's doing, but obviously cares about the person he's treating and not just the illness. Dr. Olson is easy to talk to and never feels like he is judging you as a patient at all.
Verified patient
Great experience. I really felt like I was having a conversation with someone who cared about me and wasn't just trying to rush me out the door.
Verified patient
Great as always.
Verified patient
Doctor Olsen is extremely friendly and cordial. He takes the time to listen and talk which is more then many doctors where you only get to talk to interns.
Verified patient
He's very punctual. You will not wait long at all. However, if you're more than 15 minutes late for an appointment, he makes you reschedule.
Verified patient
I really am glad to have found this physician. He takes a genuine interest in my health and provides a common sense approach to good healthcare.
Dr. Olson has been my primary care physician for 5 years. He is very knowledgeable and up to date on current medical research, but at the same time he is very patient-centric and down to earth. I have had many other good doctors, but none that I liked on a personal level before Dr. Olson. Highly recommend.
Verified patient
GREAT bedside manner. Dr. Olsen spent time answering questions and addressing concerns. I'm recommending him to my brother and mom.
Verified patient
Very comfortable and professional.
Verified patient
Dr. Olson listens!!! He also explains what side effects any new medications might have, gave me referrals when needed, and Ms. Lisnette (she took my vitals) is very pleasant. I probably misspelled her name. I am sure I have found a new primary doctor. Thanks!! Diane B

Great! I'm referring my wife
Dr. Olson was very personable as well as knowledgeable. He was friendly and professional and took the time to listen to my concerns and explain things in a relatable way.
Verified patient
I was very pleased with his recommendation for a different medication to treat my type II diabetes at today's appointment. I am confident that I will see improvement in my glucose levels under his care. I saw Dr. Olsen last year for a pre-surgery clearance while my primary care doctor was not available. I was so impressed with the information he imparted at that time that I decided to make him my primary doctor now.
I've been seeing Dr. Olson for the last three years on the recommendation of my former physcian who retired. He is an excellent young doctor in the process of building his Chicago practice. The practice is growing because of skill, caring and easy manner.
I've had a few doctors in my lifetime, but Dr. Olson is by far the most informative, efficient, and friendly. I am very glad to have such a great doctor.
I'm always nervous about seeing a new doctor, but the staff was immediately friendly and put me at ease. Dr. Olson was also extremely personable and helpful.
I just think Dr Olson is the nicest doctor I've ever been to see. He has a calming demeanor, does not talk down to you, listens, and then takes him time in responding. You never feel rushed while in his office and the staff seem to care about you just as much as he does.
Verified patient
He was great! He took his time as we discussed my issue and gave great advice. My prescription was waiting for me at the pharmacy when I got there!
He is extremely knowledgable and helpful. Dr. Olson takes the time to get to know what is going on so that he can give you the support you need.
Verified patient
I enjoyed my first visit with Dr. Olson very much - he listens and doesn't make you feel rushed. He also has a very flaming demeanor and excellent bedside manner!
Verified patient
Dr. Olson is excellent, he always takes the time to talk with me about my concerns. He is personable and professional. When I had blood work done, he called me personally to discuss the results. I have returned a few times and will continue to use him as my primary physician.
Verified patient
Being new in the area, I dreaded having to find a new doctor after the great experience I had where I previously lived. I had never tried selecting an MD online, but was impressed by the comments I read about Dr. Olson. He was excellent. He took time to listen to my medical history and I know I have found a new family doctor. His office staff were very friendly and nice also.
Verified patient
Today was my first visit. Dr. Olson was very friendly, and professional. His office staff were also very friendly. My appointment started right on time and he seemed to be very competent.
Verified patient
