Would clone her if it was possible. She is the epitome of excellent health care provider. A true asset to your hospital! I have recommended her to several people and will continue to do so. She really listened to my concerns about a different providers recommended treatment. I didn't want to do it after doing some research. Dr. Olson listened to me, looked at my labs, looked at my other test results, talked to that provider and others that manage other health issues I have and we came to an agreement about my treatment that didn't involve the particular method that was initially proposed. I appreciate that she listened to my concerns and did the research of my records and spoke to the other providers I have and that we all made the decision together for a plan.
