Patient Stories
Knee replacement patients describe their experience.
Every recovery is different. These are individual experiences, not a promise of results. The instructions that apply to you are the activity restrictions and the written instructions you receive from this office.
Dr Olsen and his crew were great to work with. From the initial consultation he listened to my concerns and explained every option available. I had my both my knees replaced 6 weeks apart and the Quiet Knee Protocol was explained well and made me feel comfortable doing them so close together. The protocol was crucial in making sure my first knee was at a good spot in the healing process and it was far enough along to proceed with my second TKR. I never had to use opioids due to the medicines prescribed in the protocol. My PT was amazed at the range of motion I had when I started my PT at 2 weeks. (Both Times) Also along the way any questions that I had were promptly and answered. For having 2 surgeries I am so lucky to have worked with Dr Olsen and his crew. Highly recommend.
Phil B. · Both knees, six weeks apart
I had a great experience working with Dr. Olsen and his staff. From the first appointment I felt so taken care of and relieved to find this quiet knee procedure. This was my second knee replacement and it went so much better. I would strongly recommend this procedure to anyone who is suffering with knee pain.
Chris S. · Second knee replacement
Dr.Olsen is the real deal! He is an excellent surgeon, and a terrific human. I felt listened to and respected. He takes the time to answer all questions and does a thorough job in describing what to expect before, during and after surgery. He performed both of my total knee replacement surgeries and I couldn't be happier. I trust him 100%.
Andrea S. · Both knees
Dr. Olsen replaced my left knee on April 7th, 2022. I was back to my job on April 25th. He was phenomenal in every sense of the word. Knowledge, skill, compassion, instilling confidence. Every hospital employee from the check in person to the anesthesiologist assured me (without me asking) that I had THE best surgeon. That alone calmed my anxiety prior to surgery. They were right, and I am grateful that I made the decision (after talking to 3 different surgeons) to have him perform my surgery. Can't say enough good things....

My experience with Dr. Olsen was fantastic from the first visit to the surgical follow up appointment. His team was thorough and my TKR recovery faster than expected.
