Saw him for a knee injury. No issues whatsoever. He knew what the problem was and offered to fix it. Don't see what all the fuss below is for...

I agree with pretty much every comment about how this "doctor" seems to have his mind made up before even seeing you, implies you will just have to suck it up and live with your injury, that nothing can be done, seems very disinterested, not helpful, and so on... I am a young strong man with no reason to be suffering the shoulder pain and limited range of motion that I have for over a year and a half now, and would appreciate something more than "sometimes these things happen for no reason, and sometimes they go away". Oh, and his parting comments were "I suppose if I don't send you for an MRI you'll just argue about it so I'll send you anyways". This after I briefly and simply explained the pain, potential cause (accident), and demonstrated that I was reasonable, don't expect miracles but just investigating if anything could be done aside from surgery... absolute waste of time, this guy. I guess if you have the Olympic rings on your "business" card, everyone is suddenly beneath you...

Is a bit of an odd duck but he seems to know what to do with a scalpel. He's performed 2 scopes on my knees and I have no complaints.

Very rude and arrogant. I waited 4 months to see this doctor and he just said "maybe" I should get an MRI done if it doesn't heal - it's been two years! It was the receptionist who said I should book one right away. He didn't offer help whatsoever. Useless.

Dr. Oliver was my saving grace. Can't say enough kind things about him. He is professional, kind and extremely knowledgeable.

Dr. Oliver repaired my separated Achilles tendon, he was very specific on the work that would be done, and the speed of getting the assessment to surgery was quick. Some of the reviews seem bad because he doesn't have the joking around type of personality, he is just there to get the job done, with specific details of what will be done. I am currently 8 weeks into the surgery, and walking around quite well. Thanks Dr. Oliver on a job well done!

What a waste of time! Waited approx. 3(?) months for appointment. It was a maximum of four minute visit. Took a look at my (displaced) bone, pushing toward my throat, said "nothing can be done", and I was dismissed. Not even a hand examination to see WHY this bone is extending, or where it is coming from. And he was out the door. I felt that my age, (70) was a factor. There was not enough 'time' to inquire, is it something to do with a previous break of my arm. VERY DISAPPOINTING and very impersonnel.

saw him for toren rotator cuff tendon, dry sense of humor, took time to explain all option and what course of action to take. found him to be very knowledgable and was highly recommended by other people I know that saw him and by two nurse's I know

Went to Dr. Oliver regarding a seperated shoulder. Found him to lack bedside manner and general lack of caring. Found him to be rude, and arrogant.
