I waited a long time. I didn't really have any problems so all of that was okay. The wait was excessive in my opinion and I didn't have anything to read, knit, etc! If I have to sit that long a magazine would be helpful (I'll bring my own book next time).

UofU Patient
May 05, 2015
It was interesting. He interrupted me, assumed I had knowledge that I didn't, and gave me knowledge I already had. If he had actually listened to my patient history he would have actually learned something, rather than having me assertively filling him in with details of my patient history.
UofU Patient
April 27, 2015

Dr. Olsen has been my doctor for as long as I can remember. I would definitely recommend him as well as the other physicians at the Moran Eye Center.
UofU Patient
September 02, 2013
I could ascertain that Dr. Olson was interested in my problem. His concern was for my comfort. And after a thorough exam declared that my eyes were not the problem and that if the symptoms continue I should see some one in the neurology Dept. This made good sense to me.
UofU Patient
September 02, 2013
I really appreciate the fact that Dr. Olson treats me like a scientist and not an like an idiot. Other MDs have not necessarily figured this out.
