Surgeon Testimonial

Douglas Olsen, M.D.
When I first met Dr. Douglas Olsen, I could tell that he was an extremely professional man. Dr Olsen was confident, enthusiastic, patient, and fluid in his explanations of the risks and rewards of RNY surgery. His professionalism--along with his staff, set me at ease. He went right into telling me all the risk of the surgeries and did not sugar coat anything. I felt very secure with my decision to have Dr. Olsen as my surgeon from the beginning. He wants you to be educated and informed when making the decision to have this surgery. I thank God that I had such a well practiced and professional surgeon on my side. He is very positive.rnWhen working with Dr. Olsen, I could tell that he really cared about my success and that he enjoys helping people live complete and happy lives. And it is not just him, it is the staff in his office who were all so friendly and remember my name when I come in for a visit...even the receptionist! I love his office staff. I walked out of there even more sure of what I was doing. His staff and the whole office runs very smoothly and I have had nothing but absolutely WONDERFUL experiences there so far. rnAbsolutely the best surgeon/doctor I have ever dealt with. Future patients should know that he is the best doctor/surgeon I have ever met.rnI would rate him highly to anyone. I believe having surgical competence and bedside manner is very important...if I don’t trust my doctor or feel that he or she is listening to me that I will not allow this person to operate on me.. rnI am sorry but I can find nothing negative about Dr. Olsen. He truly takes care of me and my Family in the way that he beleives is best for us, so far that reason i can see nothing negative.

My Story

Well honestly, I dunno that my story is any different than anyone else's I've been battling with my weight every since I was a kid. I have tried every diet in the world, none worked! Oh yea I lost weight but only to regain more than I started at.

Well... If someone would have told me 3 years ago that I'd be in the place I am at now I really wouldn't have believed it. Many times I have to pinch myself because I feel like I am living a dream. Last night I looked at the pictures of myself before the weight loss journey began and tears came down my face. It was tears of joy for finally realizing that I'm no longer a prisoner of my body. Tears of sadness because...I was once in such a bad situation. Mostly tears of joy knowing how far I've come over these past 3 years. I got on the scale today and I am still at my goal weight and very proud! All the hard worked has paid off!
