Craig L Olsen, MD

Attended visit with my wife, this doctor is one of the best I have seen, explains things perfectly, takes the time and is gentle, understanding and logical, this is everything a doctor should be.

Dr. Olsen is a great doctor. Super nice, smart, and keeps up to date on the latest info. Explains diagnostic and treatment options clearly. I feel quite secure that I’m in great hands.

Excellent, thorough and non-​judgmental. Easy to talk to, very pleasant and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

DR. OLSEN WALKS ON WATER TO ME. THIS GUY IS GREAT…
I have been looking for a great THYROID DR. for years with no luck. They all sucked to put it nicely. From the moment I booked with Ms. Lauren at Dr. Olsen office it was great. I thought it was a joke because they were nice and friendly when i booked my appt. I asked at that time if the had a waiting list, i by some chance someone cxld and Ms. Lauren called me when one popped up. I snapped it up right away. I had explained how another THYROID DR. was stringing me along with the THYROID meds (dose to LOW) and dealing with my THYROID CANCER.
PARKING GREAT
OFFICE CLEAN, BRIGHT, NO FUNKY SMELLS
STAFF, MS LAUREN, MS YESSY (MA) AND DR. OLSEN ARE GREAT…
WAIT TIME 10 MINS (1000HRS)
DR. OLSEN was ontime and very friendly. He really cared about me and my issues. I did bring a copy of all my lastest labs, biopsy, anything to save time and money.
I did not tell DR. OLSEN the med dosage to see if he would give the me the same dosage as the other Dr. gave me. Much like I thought. the med dosage was wrong (50mg to 112 mg). DR. OLSEN said that I should not wait on getting the other side of the cancer Thyroid removed asap, other Dr. was not concerned. He did give me the name of a DR. JESSE TAN in LB not that butcher Michael Kim (LOS AL).
Look the botton line is this guy is great and I want to pass on the fact this guy is GREAT. to all my other THYROID screwed over friends out there… this guy is a keeper.
thanks…

After six years and almost as many endocrinologists, I’ve found a keeper in Dr. Greg Olsen.
It’s not that I’m a high maintenance patient. I’m quite the opposite, in fact, and that’s the problem. Every other endocrinologist I’ve visited immediately wanted to micro-​manage me without bothering to realize 1) I’m intelligent and can do simple math, 2) I’m an engineer and am therefore anal about my blood sugar by nature, and 3) a member of my immediate family has been diabetic since I was six years old so I have more firsthand experience than the doctor in most cases.
My ideal endocrinologist is one who will review my numbers, offer suggestions to improve them, take my highly active lifestyle into consideration, and write prescriptions. That is exactly the role Dr. Olsen naturally filled from the very first visit.
There was no «I’m the doctor, and you’re just one of many patients wanting my time» vibe like many other doctors who try to establish respect through dominance and bravado. Instead, Dr. Olsen was calm and passive, yet clearly demonstrated his knowledge and experience. He reviewed my spreadsheet of blood sugar data and my current insulin values, and said, «These look good, but you might want to try making these small adjustments and see if you can improve them even more.»
Not once did I feel the need to defend myself, which is a common feeling I have in doctors’ offices. He didn’t even question my high blood pressure reading because he understood the nerves and anxiety that come with seeing a doctor — first visit or otherwise. My subsequent visits have been a continuation of the wonderful experience.
Dr. Olsen’s office is a clean and comfortable environment, and not nearly as crowded as other offices I’ve sat in. Whether in the morning or afternoon, my appointments have been ontime — within five or ten minutes anyway — yet there was no sense that he was rushing through me to get to his next patient. His nurse and office staff were polite and engaging, which is a pleasant bonus.
As I said in the beginning, after six years of looking, I’ve found an endocrinologist compatible with my personality and goals. I’ve greatly enjoyed the visits I’ve had to date with Dr. Greg Olsen, and I’m looking forward to many more.

Dr. Olsen is without doubt the most knowledgeable, patient-​centric, and cordial physician I have ever had the privilege of calling my Dr.
He really works with you as a vested parter of your diabetic team. He listens and communicates quite well. He always takes the time to answer my questions, and is not afraid to admit his not knowing the answer.
The office staff is exceptionally friendly and caring.
I recommend your seeing Dr. Olsen if any of the following matter to you when selecting a physician:
knowledge/​well educated
attention to detail
good communication skills
active listener
jovial and cordial/​extraordinary bedside manner
down to earth
quick to respond to calls (questions, concerns, and prescription refills)
great memory of your well being, medical needs, and personal life
approachable/​humble/​hard working
spends generous amounts of time with you
invests in your health care and well being
always current and up to date with new treatment options and reccomendations
I have seen him for 3 years to treat my type 1 diabetes and believe he raises the bar by which everyone should measure their physician. He has been patient with me and started me on insulin pump and continuous glucose monitoring therapy, at my request. As a result… my A1C levels have never been better!
One last note… when I started insulin pump therapy the insulin pump representative/​training nurse came to one of my appointments with Dr. Olsen… she commented to me (in amazement) that he was the ONLY physician she has ever seen that read the product information and knew the product, features, and functions from memory!
Dr. Olsen is an awesome endocrinologist, second to none!

I had an appointment with Dr. Olsen about a week ago. The consultation was incredible. I had been feeling pretty depressed due to a continuous loss of hair. My general doctor always dismissed my symptoms and well, not wanting to loose all my hair I started researching my symptoms on-​line.
Some of the causes for hair loss can be anywhere from thyroid, to vitamin D deficiencies. Since I’m very paranoid in nature I wanted to go so an Endocrinologist to check out my metabolism and thyroid. I made my appointment with Dr. Olsen because he has pretty good reviews on line.
The day of the appointment the staff was super nice. I waited no more than 10 minutes for the doc to see me. Once I was there he checked absolutely everything and gave me enough time to hear me ranting about how sick I thought I was. He didn’t dismissed anything I asked him to check. He assured me that if running all those tests was going to give me peace of mind he’ll ask for them.
I got my results back and they came with comments from the doctor wherever there are any «abnormal» results. He sent me lab request paperwork so that I can go get re-​tested for some of the readings that came abnormal just to make sure.
This doctor is amazing. After visiting quite a few docs that make you feel like you are wasting their time and are constantly trying to rush you out the door, Dr. Olsen seems to genuinely care. A very attentive and sweet doctor!
Thanks Dr. Olsen!
