Myself and numerous family members have been treated by Dr. Gary Olson for over 20 years. Dr. Olson takes the time to listen to his patients problems and concerns they are encountering. He discusses a treatment plan for your individual needs and answers any questions. The outcome of the treatment that is received is always amazing. The office is clean and the staff are professional and accommodating when scheduling an appointment.

There have been times we have called up, in pain & discomfort, and were told to come right over. It doesn't get any better than that! Highly, highly recommend Dr Gary Olson, he's an absolute credit to his profession.

I've had lower back issues for a few years and also feet problems. The foot doctor sent me to the chiropractor which is Dr. Olsen whom I found through my insurance. He is the type of doctor that sees what the problems are in your back and will work with you to fix the problem the best way possible with little discomfort while fixing the issue at hand.

He is also very honest and won't prolong what the problem is and will take you until the problem is fixed. I highly recommend Dr Olsen. If you want a good chiropractor you should go to him and give his office and staff and call and make an appointment

Friendly, professional, efficient, and great service from the moment upon entering. The whole staff is so helpful and nice. Gary, Dave, Ann, and Danielle all helped me get to where I am today. My injury felt 100% better in just a few sessions.

I've only had four sessions with Dr. Olson, and in that short timeframe, he and his staff have done a remarkable job of improving my lower back discomfort. One of the great things about Dr. Olson is that he offers more than just standard chiropractor practices. I've also received treatment from Ann, the physical therapist, and assistance with pain management.

I love that the team takes a multi-pronged approach to treating an issue. Also, Dr. Olson and his team have given me stretches and exercises to help strengthen the area and prevent further injury. I am thrilled with my experience and the marked improvement in my lower back. I highly recommend Dr. Olson to anyone in need of chiropractic care.

I had a great experience with Dr. Olson. I slipped on my back deck steps in the recent snowstorm and landed pretty hard on the steps with the right side of my lower back. Luckily, no major permanent soft tissue damage, but I bruised the muscle pretty badly. After things didn't get better in a couple of days, I went in to see Dr. Olson. The first session made a noticeable difference; the second session brought me to 80-90% better.

Following the third session, I felt pretty much back to normal! Aside from the effectiveness of the treatment, the office staff is friendly, the office is clean, and everyone seems to care about their work. I'd definitely go back in if I get hurt again.

Showed up at my first appointment, was seen by the physical therapist and not the chiropractor. I told her I wanted an adjustment to which she said the doc was out with a shoulder injury. I was annoyed that I wasn't informed of this. I made a second appointment and again, he's not there. Receptionist said we expected him to come in but he did not. Blows my mind that they run a business this way.

I recently began treatment with Dr. Olson for lower back pain. I hadn't been to a chiropractor in a number of years so I did my research prior to selecting Dr. Olson. I have to say I am very pleased with my choice. Dr. Olson is friendly, engaging and takes his time in discussing and evaluating your symptoms for your treatment plan. More importantly, after only a few visits the severity of my pain has been significantly reduced.

I also must compliment his staff, they are pleasant both in person and on the phone. Scheduling appointments is a breeze. I highly recommend Dr. Olson for your chiropractic needs.

Dr Olson has been treating me for shoulder/rotator cuff/neck pain and just after several treatments i am feeling much better and almost back to 100%. Dr. Olson really understands anatomy and through Active Release and really pinpointing the troubled muscles combined with other adjustments he provides a comprehensive treatment. I have been continuing my sessions and now also treating my knee pain, which I already seen an improvement in.

His entire team is wonderful, friendly and attentive and the front desk, especially Danielle, is super helpful in booking appointments and any questions/concerns. Highly recommend Dr Olson!

I brought my 11 year old lacrosse and soccer playing daughter in to see Dr. Olson for acute pain she was having in her lower back. He quickly diagnosed the issue and using a combination of chiropractic adjustments and ART (active release technique) had her back to playing like her old self in a couple weeks. Soon after, a pulled hamstring had us back in. Again, Dr. Olson used his expertise in ART to speed up the healing process and get her back much faster than if we had not sought treatment. The office is clean and sanitary and the entire staff is polite, kind and professional. I highly recommend.

Dr Gary Olson is the best! He is caring and has a great bedside manner. I always leave his office feeling amazing after getting treated by him. Since I began treatment, my neck and back problems have dramatically improved thanks to Dr Olson. He is excellent and I highly recommend him to everyone!

I was struggling with neck pain for a while and went to see Dr. Olson for a consultation after reading reviews about him on line. Within 2 visits, my neck was already feeling and was shortly back to 100%. I have a history of lower back issues and now see Dr. Olson whenever I need a back adjustment as well! I highly recommend him.

I had a knee replacement about 2 yrs ago. It really never felt great and over this past year I slowly lost my flexion. I am not even 40 yet and was dealing with a lot of pain, scar tissue, couldn't even ride my bike because my leg wouldn't go around, and my quality of life was severely going down. My background is a collegiate athlete with a degree health science and was struggling to even train my personal training clients.

I was pretty depressed and searching for some relief. My sister is a Physical Therapist and lives 8 hrs away so she helped me research and she found Dr. Gary Olsen on line. I was interested that he offered ART and was desperate for some relief in pain. When I tell you he worked a miracle on my knee, it is unbelievable how much better I feel in a few weeks seeing him a few times a week.

I went from barely being able to bend my leg, to easily riding my bike and my quality life improving exponentially. He broke up a lot of the scar tissue that was preventing my knee from bending. So much so that I can see the change in my incision scar after 2 years. I was shocked that it started to flatten down. He is extremely knowledgeable and put me to ease right away that I was in the right place and I wasn't a lost cause.

I drive over an hour to see him 3 times a week. This was the best decision I have made after have many surgeries and nothing else working, I finally have found someone that has helped me. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Gary Olsen.

I've been going to chiropractors for lower back pain since I was a teenager. I'm now 54 and have been treated by only 4 different chiropractors for almost 40 years. I always seek the best and the only reason I've ever switched chiropractors is when they retire or I move away. Finding Dr. Olson took going through a few "assembly line" chiropractors who rush you out to get to the next patient. Dr. Olson takes his time figuring out the best course of action to take and actually treats the problem.

He is the most knowledgeable and educated chiropractor I've encountered. I highly recommend his services. His staff is courteous and friendly. I have found the chiropractor I will be seeing from now on. Thank you Dr. Olson.

I had been seeing an orthopedic who prescribed some muscle relaxers for back pain which I was experiencing for a couple of months. After five days of feeling worse on the muscle relaxers I decided to try Dr. Olson. After about 7 or 8 visits I started feeling normal again. I attribute it to Dr. Olson's Active Release Technique which gave me much relief instantly and steadily progressed.

I have been going here for several years because I didn't really look to see if there was a better alternative. My last visit will definitely be my last. Office is very unorganized. I don't think staff lasts more than 2 months because of this They always have some sort of outside company doing tests and you never get results back. Finally every time you come back after not being there for a few months they charge you an additional co-pay. Definitely in it for the $ not looking to help you. Don't really appreciate long term faithful customers. Really sad.

About ten years ago, I woke up in agony with pain that went down my leg to my calf. My knee was swollen and it hurt to walk. My mother took me to numerous doctors and paid for many tests to be done. No one had any clue to what was causing my issue, until my mother heard of Dr. Olson. Dr. Olson was the only one who was able to help my issue. Now I am back again, for a new issue in regards to my back.

I have seen spine doctors and gone to physical therapy and again, nothing has worked. Dr. Olson is now helping me and making sure that I am back to doing the things I love. If there is anyone I would recommend, I would recommend Dr. Olson. He is friendly, knowledgeable and works hard in making sure you get back to your normal self.

I had a horrible accident at work and injured not only my back, but also my shoulders, my neck and other parts as well. After coming out of the hospital with nothing broken, thanks to God. I started seeing Dr. Gary Olson. Unlike other places he was able to see me the very next day with my WC case and a full body pain. It's been a month now and feel much better.

He is great, I visit him 2-3 times a week for physical therapy, massages and heat treatments. I've never had problems scheduling appointments, no wait times once you arrived, he's got excellent equipment and a excellent staff that doesn't let you down. Very friendly environment and very professionals at what they do. Highly recommend them to anyone.

I started seeing Dr. Olson due to chronic pinched nerves and back pain. I can't thank him enough for the care that he provides me. I haven't had a pinched nerve in months and am sleeping like a baby (no more back pain). He's wonderful!

I have been having neck and mid back issues for years. I finally went to Dr. OLSEN on Tuesday. The office staff were polite, professional, and knowledgeable. Dr Olsen was the same. It had been 11/2 weeks since I started therapy. I have to say my neck is 80-90 % better. Today I met his physical therapist, again very polite and professional. Thank you all for helping me.

Another complete experience with Dr. Olson and his staff! I am approaching 20 years of care with Dr. Olson. He and his staff make every visit complete, accommodating appointment times, low wait times, warm smiles and the very best in medical care. Every time I see Dr. Olson his treatments and advise move me toward healing. My issues are mostly sports/training related. Each visit I am reminded of his skill and professionalism. I would recommend visiting this office to anyone who requires hands on care.

Dr. Olsen practices ART (active release techniques) which is more effective on relieving lower back pain than just the traditional techniques of other Chiropractors I have seen. His treatment rooms are private and his equipment is modern and comfortable. He is very professional and knowledgeable and takes time to give me excellent health and lifestyle advice.
