"I've been ill for a very long time. I live several hours away from Dr. Olsen, my last visit was in 2008 I did mention my gastric issues then, and they were dismissed. I just returned 2012, I've lost my job, my home and have been homeless for over 2 years. Dr Olsen was so cold to that fact and just said it's been hard for all of us. On a good note the dietician and group leader couldn't have been more compassionate and supportive. This has been the hardest think I've ever had to live through, or talk about. My regular doctor at home misdiagnosed me for 9 years. I was over medicated, over diagiagnosed, and lost everything because of it. I feel the compassion level is being lost as the amount of patients goes up. Am I wrong, or was it just a bad day for the both of us?"
"Dr Olsen is a very determined Doctor. By that he's determined to see you succeed in WLS. His staff could not be any better at what they do. I believe having staff that has been in my shoes make all the difference in the world. Dr. Olsen wants things done right, no excuses. My first meeting with him was 2 hours long, informative, and he gave all the possible risks that there could be. I have a great deal of respect for Dr. Olsen, and think his office is top notch. These are only my views, and research should be done by anyone looking to have the surgery."
