Dr. Olson has a direct, no-nonsense approach to educating her candidates for surgery, however, she is patient to clearly answer and address all concerns. The Bariatric Program at Womack places heavy emphasis on both pre and post-operative patient education. (and re-education if necessary!) She, along with the entire Bariatric team are \"frustratingly meticulous\" in making sure that patients are well versed on all aspects of wls and will not proceed until reasonably assured that the candidate is committed to making the required lifestyle changes to protect their long-term health. rnrn(Very good for us in the long run, but enough to make you scream during the process..)rnrnDr. Olson is experienced, articulate and accessible to her patients needs. I am comfortable in her care.
My first impression of Dr. Olsen was that she is full of confidence. That first impression meant so much to me, as the saying goes...\"first impression are everything.\" Her confidence she had in herself somewhat rubbed off on me. Knowing that she is so confident, outspoken, and upfront with her patients made me feel Great!!! I learned a lot of new information and reminded myself or some old information that I had somehow forgotten. I could not have asked for a better surgen! THANK YOU DR. OLSEN
Dr. Olsen is AWESOME!!! I felt instantly comfortable with her when we first met. She has a terrific personalilty and treated me like I was more than just a patient. It is so refreshing to not feel like a number or a \"case.\" I look forward to being under her continued care throughout my new life changes. I couldn't have hand picked a better surgeon. A huge thumbs up to her and the entire staff at Womack. They are all wonderful!!
Dr. Olson is amazing. She is caring but straight forward. She is extremely educated and makes sure that her patients are just as educated. She helped make my experience wonderful and I am so thankful for her.
Dr. Olsen is very interatcive with and focused on her patients, which is refreshing in a surgeon. I've had other surgeons for other procedures in the past that made you feel like you were just a number to them. She is personable and really seems to care. She takes her time with you and makes sure your questions are answered. She is very knowledgable and experienced. I'm so glad I am under her continued care.
Dr. Olsen is new to Massachusetts but she comes with a wealth of experience. I was nervous when I was told she would be my surgeon but once I met her I felt very much at ease. At the hospital where I will have my surgery, two surgeons are always in the OR.rnAs a nurse that second set of eyes gives me great comfort. The before care and aftercare program are intense. The only thing lacking is an exercise program... and that will be added soon!!!
Dr. Olsen is professional, well spoken, and honest. She and everyone in the Womack gastric bypass program are adamant about making sure patients know all of the potential risks of surgery. They endlessly educate patients about the new lifestyle they are taking on, and encourage participation in support groups to maintain a focus on making the right decisions for a healthy lifestyle.rnrnThe bottom line is, Dr. Olsen performs the surgery, and performs it well. She and the rest of the clinic support you before and afterwards. But they make no bones about the fact that it's up to you to make the necessary changes in your life. It's so worth it!!! rnrnI consider myself lucky that I was authorized to recieve my RNY at Womak from Dr. Amy Olsen. Thanks to Dr. Olsen, Jasmine and the Womak crew!
She is the bestest {smile}
