About me
Dr. Kirstina Olson is an orthopedic surgeon and chief of foot and ankle surgery at the UCSF Orthopaedic Institute. She treats all conditions of the foot and ankle, including arthritis, bunions, flat feet, tendon disorders and fractures, and performs surgeries ranging from minimally invasive procedures to complex reconstructions.

I tell everyone how good Dr Olson is

These comments don't apply to the resident who first saw me. I thought he did a very good job. But Dr. Olsen did not have a good bedside manner. She was brusque, cold, and did not spend much time with me. I got no sense of caring from her at all. I don't like to give negative reviews (and basically never do so) but I thought it was appropriate in this case. I won't be seeing her again,and will seek care elsewhere.

The provider was very helpful in recognizing my concerns about returning home after surgery and my desire to transfer to a skilled nursing facility afterwards - this was greatly appreciated
