Jerold Olson, MD

This is the surgeon you want for a neck/face lift. Not only is the office convenient (Sunrise/Campbell, near CVS), but also it is quiet and private. I never encountered another patient due to efficient scheduling and superior patient/time management. Thus, it felt like a private clinic just for me. Next, the evaluation and presurgical consultation was not rushed. My concerns were heard and Dr. Olson shared what he thought would be optimal, too. I wanted this. We often fixate on a "problem" that is tied to other aspects of our appearance and we underestimate what it takes to make it look great. He solved that for me. On the day of surgery, the outpatient center was busy but ran on time. The staff were considerate and professional and I never waited. Someone was doing something for me to assure my safety or comfort every minute I was there. The aftercare was pretty easy. The advice I was given about what I'd feel and look like was 100% accurate and the continual follow up to ensure surgical excellence and my happiness were comforting. For this reason, of you do not live here but have traveled for your procedure, you need A MINIMUM of a week to be seen and cared for. This is not something to trivialize. You want the attention and care. Finally, my outcomes are so incredible to me that I feel I am "starting over" in the best way possible. Not one person has figured out what I have done (this review may "out" me) because there are no visible scars (only my shampoo girl at the salon had a question). I just look like me, minus the haggard, tired, old neck and jawline. I am beyond pleased and see the entire process as intensive art and Dr. Olson was my artist. That someone can see hundreds of faces with hundreds of features and optimize those features to best suit the individual is indeed a gift. Dr. Olson and his capable staff (Mercy Olson, RN, a wonderful and essential component of your care) will surpass your expectations and the care they provide is unparalleled.

I'm going to do my best to keep a long story short while expressing a great deal of appreciation. After three disappointing surgeries on my nose by a different doctor, I came to Foothills Facial Plastic Surgery for consultation. I met with Dr. Olson and he was honest with me about what I could expect and financial costs involved that were reasonable, if not generous.

Showing genuine concern, he presented options and helped me to understand the complexity of results I was hoping for. Providing pictures and images of my nose and what was likely possible. After considering all that he thoroughly explained, I chose to have the revision surgery which entailed a functional purpose, as well as aesthetic. Dr. Olson was able to fix my septum and transfer cartilage from my ear to the nose. Not only am I able to breathe better than ever, it looks fantastic.

Throughout the process Dr Olson, Mercy and their associates made me feel at ease and assured. As far as I'm concerned, Dr. Olson is a miracle worker and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend this skilled and caring team. I can't thank you enough for what you've given me! 

Sincerely, Dan Sullivan

Dr.Olson and his staff were absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. I will be going to Dr.Olson for all future surgeries. Absolutely best surgeon I have EVER been to. I am so pleased with my results.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars!! Mercy, Dr Olson and the office staff were all amazing to work with and made me feel like family. Dr Olson was very direct during my consultation and explained everything thoroughly. He knew exactly what my nose needed and didn’t try to upsell or talk me into anything I didn’t want. The surgery and recovery was relatively painless, Dr Olson was there to guide me through every step of the way. He gave me the exact natural result I was after, thank you Dr Olson!

I highly recommend Dr. Olson and his staff! My whole experience has been extremely positive and comforting for being a first time patient of facial plastic surgery for Rhinoplasty. My end results is an amazing transformation of my nose.

Dr. Jerold Olson is an excellent facial plastic surgeon! His expertise created artistry on my face. He is very professional and caring. He is honest, genuine and straight forward, he advised me of what he can or cannot achieve for my end results. He is very patient, he answered all my questions and explained the procedure/surgery process as much as possible until I was comfortable with my decision to have the procedure done. He is available for me to reach him anytime through my whole experience, procedure, post surgery and my healing recovery months for any questions or concerns I may have. His kind, yet professional demeanor makes me feel like more than just his patient.

His staff, RN Mercy and RN Melissa are amazing! Mercy is the most beautiful and friendly person with lots of positive energy which makes me want to come back just to see her. She was very informative and knowledgeable in explaining the procedure to me. She also assisted me with after care treatment and skin care products for my nose. Melissa is kind and sweet with a peaceful energy which calms me when I was nervous. Together, the two ladies compassion makes me feel comfortable and that I have made the right decision in choosing Dr. Olson.

As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.

From the initial consultation appointment through post procedure recovery, Dr. Olson and his team were professional, compassionate, and highly communicative the entire time. He runs a very efficient practice, with care and compassion at the top.

What was truly validating to me was during the surgery prep, every medical team member I encountered remarked on Dr. Olson’s great patient care, results, and general reputation. All of these comments were unsolicited and very impressive. I knew I made the right choice in my Doctor.

I am thrilled with my results.

From first consult to 6mo post op follow up, Dr. Olson and his staff was amazing. Dr. Olson answered all my questions and nurse Mercy went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable (she is an angel). I highly recommend any procedure you are considering with Dr. Olson. You are in good hands!

Dr. Olson is amazing!!! His staff is very nice and answered all of my questions. He’s very smart and kind. The whole process was smooth and surgery day went super easy. No issues with healing and it looks great!! 10/10 would recommend

I had a septoplasty/rhinoplasty by Dr Olson and from start to finish, the whole process was amazing. The office staff and nurse Mercy have been so nice and helpful. My nose needed a lot of work, but Dr Olson explained everything in detail and answered all of my questions. I was nervous about how the recovery would be, but I ended up having very little pain and the stuffiness was very tolerable. All in all, one of the best decisions I have ever made was choosing Dr Olson for my procedure and I would recommend him to anyone in need of any facial plastic surgery or any services offered by his practice.

I am 76, had a facelift at 54, and am committed to maintaining the results without undergoing a second lift. I've done CO2 lasers, ultherapy, thermage, sofwave, Morpheus 8, and have my own "at home" RF machine and NuFace.

Ellacor was comparably the least uncomfortable and most effective procedure I've done since my earlier surgery. The discomfort was minimal, I was ready for prime time in four days, and will do my second ellacor in May.

I've been a part of the medical field all my life. Earning my own PhD at 50 has allowed me to understand research and, hopefully, make good decisions.

Ellacor removes about 8% of laxity each time its done, and my skin seems to be resiliant after the procedure as I've also slowly lost a few pounds.

It's a subtle improvement and, most importantly, very natural looking.

This procedure MUST be done by a highly qualified practitioner as in a facial plastic surgeon, a dermatologist or an RN with advanced training. In the wrong hands the after effects could be substantially unwanted.

Most importantly, the results are subtle but permanent. I'm looking forward to my next Ellacor.

Updated on 3 Apr 2024:
My pictures. Before picture is taken right before ellacor. No makeup. My after picture is taken six weeks later with makeup. As I mentioned in my earlier review I do use my Nuface religiously. I think the NuFace enhances the results of any procedure. I also have before and after pictures of my liplift which also subtracted years from my face. A lot of people hang trouble believing that I'm 76.
