Thrilled to be back home at Rosemont, she takes pride and comfort in the fact that Rosemont Pet Clinic is locally owned and is a place where patients, clients and team members are treated like family and with respect. Our team’s synergy and happiness translate into a positive experience for our clients and their fur babies. She feels privileged to be able to form strong bonds with clients and enjoys helping them understand the examination findings and treatment plans, whether it be for preventive care or workup of a serious illness. It is Dr. Olson’s priority to partner with pet caregivers and the Rosemont staff to develop the care plan that works best for each family with the shared goal of the pet’s wellness.
