I hold a Ph.D. and have almost 50 years of experience in the health care field. Having lived and worked in 7 states in my 80 plus years, I have personal knowledge and have had dozens of primary care practitioners. Dr. Josephine Olsen at the Osprey PolyClinic ranks as one of the very best. I was able to get an appointment within a few days of the clinic opening and specifically asked for Dr. Olsen as she had treated my wife in an assisted living facility last year.

Donna Neff
My first visit with Dr. Olsen was such a pleasure. When she asked me a question she actually listened to my response and engaged in informative dialogue as necessary. I was not rushed into or out of her office… I actually received professional medical attention and left my appointment feeling confident in her recommendations and observations. I highly recommend her!

Richard Beitel
It is a very modern and new facility and a two tier system. The lobby has a greeting service and customer relations section I was able to to view the entree staff as each Dr’s resume was reflected by an above floor information resume. My selection for a PCP was Dr Josephine Olsen. Made an appointment and immediately had a script for a complete panel. My review on the results were presented and a further plan was implemented. She is very professional, friendly and extremely intelligent. A resume of success I also found the place extremely friendly.from the customer service department thru the assistants and her nurse I intend to investigate other sectors of Drs, keying in on a Cardiologist who I will interview next. The PolyClinic has the ability to meet many sectors of ones needs I would strongly recommend this medical center of Professionals. Richard Beitel
