Justin Olswanger

Last summer I had come back to Walla Walla, for mental health support and to get myself back on my feet. Olswanger was my primary care physician at the time and I thought would help me get all my out patient need so that I wouldn't go to the emergency room. It took week to get in touch with him after he gave me the wrong medication for my mental illness. he told us that he would call us and leave us with a psychiatrist to focus more on medication management but, he never did. the medication at the time was cause so many physical and mental issues that I had a psychotic break twice. One thing to another, ignoring patience because you made a mistake is Maltreatment. This man is not equipped with any mental health training at all. Don't prescribe medication to individuals that you ignore. Last summer I had come back to Walla Walla, for mental health support and to get myself back on my feet.

I don’t want to put this off another day! Dr. Olswanger is simply one of the best human beings on the planet! He is so kind, thoughtful, gentle, and so mindful! I’m 61 and he is the FIRST doctor I’ve had that actually let’s me be a part of the decision making…even when I’m wrong! But I’m also independent and have lost that independence before over medical mismanagement elsewhere, but this man is truly a great soul. I also want to say that I read a review where someone hated him for telling them to lose weight…guess what?! If he told you to lose weight…you most definitely needed to! He wouldn’t have said it if it wasn’t true, and maybe be responsible for yourself and what you CAN FIX and fix it rather than being upset because he cared enough to tell you the truth! So, If you are a kind and decent human being who takes responsibility for their own health issues, you will NEVER find another provider that even comes close to such an honest and decent man! I kind of hate to tell everybody but he deserves the recognition! Thanks Doctor! I don’t want to put this off another day! Dr. Olswanger is simply one of the best human beings on the planet!

Dr. Olswanger is the best doctor I’ve ever had. I’ve been dismissed by so many, I’d given up on finding one. Not only did I find a Primary Care Physician willing to take on a patient with a complicated chart history, but I found a doctor who looked past the chart to see ME. He made me feel like a real person, worthy of respect, and proper healthcare. He is knowledgeable, thorough, and kind. Dr. Olswanger is very personable. I always leave the office feeling better than when I came in. Not only is he the best doctor I’ve ever had, I’m willing to bet if you give him a chance, he’ll be the best doctor you’ve ever had, too.

Dr. Olswanger is simply a wonderful Doctor. He has been my primary care physician for about four years now, and I have never been disappointed. He is kind, compassionate, so intelligent. He has never made me feel uncomfortable or uneasy, and I always leave his office feeling well taken care of, heard, and that my needs have been met. He has helped me so many times where other providers have failed to do so. I heartily recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent Primary Care Physician. I seriously cannot say enough. I am grateful for him and the good work he does. Thank you, Dr. Olswanger!

Dr. Olswanger is genuinely the most compassionate doctor I have ever had. I've been seeing him for 7 years and he has always treated me with dignity and respect. My husband has been treated at the walla Walla Walla Clinic since 1979 and says that Dr. Olswanger is the best doctor he has ever had as well. I trust him so much so that I pulled my 83 (80 at the time) yr old Grandma from the Geriatric Department and she is, and has been, seeing Dr. Olswanger for almost 3 years now. He is patient with her, explains things clearly to her and allows her to be a part of the decision making regarding her treatments. Most importantly he doesn't speak to her like she is a child. Within 6 months of nearly constant monitoring Olswanger had taken her off 12 different unnecessary medications. She is now only taking 6 medication and she feels like she is "60 again." Even as a family practice doctor he is an amazing doctor for all ages. We all recommend him to anyone in need of a doctor.

Excellent

One of the best. I looked hard for 4 years for a great PCP provider in Walla Walla as I was from the Seattle side of the state with Providence for 20 years with Boeing insurance. Fortunately, I had some inside privy as my best friend is in the profession himself, and as such, Dr. Olswanger's name kept coming up as a personable, detail oriented, patient, knowledgeable Dr. with a superb skill set. He is my permanent PCP. The ONLY Dr. I have outside of Providence St Mary's Hospital. One of the best.

Have been seeing Dr. Olswanger for years and he is great. He listens and make the effort to actually know his patients. Allows you to have a say in your own health care. Very happy with Dr. Olswanger.

I'm Fat. It's a horrid word for sick. Surgery left me 30lbs overweight because no one discussed the weight I would gain so fast after my kind of surgery. I got fatter because the pills I was given for another issue put 3-4 lbs on me every 10 days or so. 50lbs later I try a new Dr. --> that would be Dr. OLSWANGER. After transfering my files, he calls me FAT. Your just plain over weight. FAT with a look of disgust and disbelief, all the while my company who came with me to my visit, unintroduced - is a Dr. himself. He is mortified just as I. Being grossly overweight is not just from stuffing your piehole with cookies and pork rinds. I was an athlete and weight lifter for 20yrs. I now have blood in my urine. Swelling in my feet and all the extra goody's that go along with a seriuos illness. I already have a heart condition. I'm in the ER 2x a month. So..thanks Dr. O for being upset with me when I was 10 minutes late for my appt. one vist, because I can't drive and my ABD helper was late... but waiting 25 minutes in your office on norm and your 20 minute appts. that your usually late for leave ME with 10 minutes and actually, NO health care. FAT. No kidding. I own more than one full leangth mirror. I know there is an endless supply of problems coming through your door for job security, but maybe you should DO your job. Health care is changing in Walla Walla - FAST. I know, Im involved. What I need is health CARE. I'm SICK.... NOT FAT. See yah later Dr. O. I'm shopping for a Primary Care Provider, NOT a guy who will call me fat and not discuss whats happened to me or what to do and who to see about it. I'm Fat. It's a horrid word for sick. Surgery left me 30lbs overweight because no one discussed the weight I would gain so fast after my kind of surgery. I got fatter because the pills I was given … More

I highly recommend Doctor Olswanger. Doctor Olswanger was very knowledgeable as well as a compassionate health care provider. He listens to you. He shows empathy. He takes time with his patients and takes fast action for your best health care. He has been my "GO TO" doctor in town for past few years! :) Thank you Doctor Olswanger!
