This was only a consultation with Dr. Olsen, but my husband and I were greatly impressed. He was so knowledgeable about my condition, so compassionate about my symptoms, so accommodating about scheduling surgery and so attentive and patient while listening to my concerns.

Dr. Olsen advised me to strongly consider cortisone injections as an alternative to total knee surgery, and I am very grateful that he did. He administered those injections during this consultation, and my knees felt at least 50% improved within just two hours - and at least 75% improved within two days. He took the time to listen to me and to understand that the issue with my knees was not the pain; rather, it was my inability to strengthen my leg muscles - which the cortisone injections has adequately addressed, without the need for the ordeal of total knee replacement surgery.

I think the provider was very dismissive with me, gave me three minutes, maybe four at the most, and somewhat didn't realize my pain experience with my other knee and being at my age, not wanting to go through two surgeries instead of one. But mostly just dismissive of my feelings and my questions.
