Patient Reviews
Oct 26, 2017
The PO in our community left us apprehensive. We needed a PO that specialized in kids with less common conditions. We researched and consulted many non-pediatric ophthalmologists. The recommendations were unanimous. Go to Dr. Richard Olson! It's been 6+ years now and we couldn't be happier. Dr. Olson is a gentle giant. He's great with kids and parents. He gives you his complete attention, is genuine in his approach, and takes the time to explain anything you don't understand. He's top-notch!
