Patient Reviews
Feb 11, 2024
I saw Dr. Olsofka this afternoon for a permanent gastric stimulator. Dr. Stocker referred me to him. He was super nice. He took his time with my mom and me, and he answered all my questions. He also took me seriously about my concerns, and was friendly about it. His staff were super friendly and helpful. The office was a little run down, but clean and organized. I was able to get an evaluation appointment within two days, and had an appointment for surgery within two weeks. Great timing for me. I would recommend him.
