I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Ohlson. Years ago, he stepped in to help my daughter after she suffered injuries from another doctor's surgery that went horribly wrong. If it were not for Dr. Ohlson and his immediate action and fantastic medical care, my daughter might still be in a wheelchair to this day. Also, Dr. Ohlson has been treating me personally. He is smart, decisive, supportive and an excellent orthopedic surgeon. I highly recommend him.

Overall Rating: 1.0 2022-01-21

I’m not sure of the exact date I have to go into my records but he performed total foot and ankle reconstruction on both of my feet. Years ago he did the first one this time was much different. While going through the pictures of my foot after my surgery that took 7 1/2 hours he was showing my family pictures and he came across a picture of his genitals. After my surgery I was sent home with a pain pump which ran out and was promised medication from his PA which I never got by the time I got in to have my foot looked at it was infected he tortured me in the room in the office where I filed a complaint I also had a witness who filed a complaint her name was Gail Litchfield at the Mount Pleasant South Carolina location. He told me my foot was fine to go home and wash it. My witness that I had with me filed a complaint because of the way I was being treated and she was being treated during her visit. The nurse that he had at the time knew that I shouldn’t go home and wash it clearly was infected and she told me to go to the closest emergency room which I did. At that point I found out that I had a staff infection and I had to be put on antibiotics and a pump on my foot. I was then put in the care of an Musc Doctor Who took all the hardware out replaced it closed it. I did not go back to Dr. Olson. The doctor said that my staff infection was so bad that it made it all the way to the bone and they almost had to amputate. He was clearly on drugs during this visit and during my treatment he attacked me and told me that we’re never going to discuss this again. I need to get in touch with an attorney he has just recently been arrested
