National Jewish Health Patient– June, 2018
Very pleased with overall service. My only problem is that I live in [place]. My [spouse] is [age] and he's my driver! Wish you were closer!!!

Dr. Olson always is a good listener, always attentive & thinking about anything else that should be done to address my complicated health issues.

National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2018
Her summary of my visit has some miss information it. [PHI] and there are a couple other discrepancies like that.

National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2018
The good rating are a reflection of the poor communication pipeline at Jewish in general and could be rectified if physicians were given regular time to respond to emails and phone calls.

National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2018

National Jewish Health Patient– April, 2018
*Dr. Olson is exceptional & one of the best providers I have ever had. She is very thorough & examines all medical issues & me as a whole person in the [condition] context. In contrast to many specialists, she evaluates all symptoms to provide the best treatment and care. *Dr. Olson is a true asset, and I always know I will get great care when I see her.
