Patient Testimonials

My daughter had surgery on her ankle yesterday that involved 2 plates and 10 screws. He was very focused and to the point but polite and helpful. The hospital staff was very nice and professional. The facility itself was new and clean. He has called us twice since yesterday to make sure we were doing ok since he has to leave town tomorrow. Some people do not like his bedside manner but I liked him very much and really appreciate his focus and knowledge. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Ohlson came highly recommended. He assessed the situation from information from a podiatrist, and made his recommendation for me to have surgery done on my foot. His staff was pleasant, did what they said they would, and followed up when necessary. I am still healing as I type this, but I think things went very well...like a well-oiled machine. To those who say he was arrogant, I must disagree. I'm not going to the doctor to hear comedy routines, I'm there to get professional opinions. He gave me his, we proceeded and I believe it's going to be a success. His whole staff was great.

Professional, compassionate, smart - Have seen him for ankle and foot care over the last 4 years. I was treated for a severe bunion and the surgery eliminated all the pain and discomfort in that foot! Amazing! Best surgeon, have referred others to him for that procedure and they had same experience as I did!

Dr. Ohlson treated me for a bad ankle injury while I was visiting Charleston. The injury happened a few months before I visited Charleston but he still worked me in the same day I called and continued to help provide me great care once I was back in New York. He called the doctor treating me in New York just to make sure they were providing the same treatment he recommended. I was much more comfortable with him then the doctor I saw in New York so I was so appreciative he was still in charge of my care and so open to communicating with them since I didn't even need surgery. I'm doing great now and owe it all to the visit I had with him while I was there and his continued involvement in my treatment. Have even recommended him to other people that live in New York, worth the trip!!

Top notch

Phenomenal and thorough care. Dr. Ohlson fully explained my injury and the surgery that was needed. He answered all of my questions and spent more than enough time with me. I had a tibia fracture just below my knee that needed to be fixed and could cause arthritis of my knee. At 72 I have been playing tennis and golf and going to Orange Theory on a regular basis without any knee issues. Dr. Ohlson operated on me within a few days after returning from my ski trip. He even offered to do the surgery on a Sunday right after I got home to South Carolina. I highly recommend Dr. Ohlson and am so thankful he was able to take care of me. I am doing great and couldn't be happier with my care.

Dr Ohlson took time out of his busy foot and ankle practice to speak with me on two different occasions. The first was to address some calf pain Ive been dealing with for over a year. Dr Ohlson took the time to hear about my symptoms and then address my concern. He was spot on with the diagnoses and treatment plan. It has been two months since our discussion and I’m pain free! The second one was for my child who had some foot trouble. Dr Ohlson took the time to look and address my concerns. The problem was resolved and he was accurate again. I trust him with my family and would go back to see him.

Had to wait over an hour just to be taken to an exam room. However, I felt very confident in Dr. Ohlson's opinion and recommendation to start with conservative treatment prior to making a decision about surgery.

It was very short and to the point. He addressed the injury, made a diagnosis and recommended a procedure that did not involve surgery.

Dr. Ohlson is an incredible surgeon. You cannot be sensitive to his quiet nature--it has nothing to do with your treatment. Dr. Ohlson has performed a total knee replacement and also done a Cartiva implant on my great toe. I am totally mobile now because of him. I have spent countless years wasting my time going to doctors who just kept me coming back, but not relieving my pain. I would recommend Dr. Ohlson to anyone and have offered to be a counselor to anyone who is afraid to have surgery
