About
Philosophy of care
My primary goal as your physician is to be your partner in care. I strive to get to know my patients so we can develop a care plan together that will manage your condition while fitting into your lifestyle and goals of care. I also think it is critical you understand your condition, so I will take the time to explain what is going on and to answer any questions you may have.
Why I entered medicine
I have always enjoyed working with people. I enjoy using what I have learned through residency and fellowship to save or restore sight.
Community involvement
I am an active member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Glaucoma Society.
Personal interests
When I am not at the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two young daughters.

"I was suprised by the wonderful treatment and understanding. I would recommend this doctor and her team to my family and friends because of the respect and courtesy. Thank you so much Dr. Olson and her MA and the other staff members. Please let them know they are appreciated."
"Dr. Olson was the nicest doctor I've had in a very long time. She listened to me, she explained everything to me and she was kind. Even the technician who I saw first when I got there was super nice. It was a breath of fresh air!"
