About Nicholas T. Olney
A personal experience with ALS is what drew Dr. Nicholas Olney to the field of medicine. Following several years of working in biotech, Dr. Olney learned that his father had been diagnosed with ALS. He was inspired to study the disease and provide clinical care. "Being a caregiver for my father changed my life. Being selected as co-director of the Providence ALS Center is an honor." After receiving his medical degree at the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Olney completed a neurology residency at the University of California, Los Angeles. Following his residency, Dr. Olney returned to UCSF to focus on neurodegenerative disease and research. "The first year of my fellowship, I was focused on dementia and imaging research. My final two years focused on ALS clinical care and spinal imaging research in ALS." In his spare time, Dr. Olney enjoys spending time with family and collecting records. He is excited about participating in outdoor activities in the Northwest like hiking and fishing.

Top notch. Great office. I have 4 children with various complex heart diseases. I know good medicine when I see it. I know a good doctor when I speak with them. I know a good practice when I experience it. Believe me when I say the entire office is a smooth working machine. Not only are the clinicians exceptional, they have found key people and created a very well oiled machine. When you have a horrible diagnosis the entire operation makes it easier to go in. Please send my gratitude to all members of the staff.

RE: Dr Olney...he is fantastic! He listened, questioned, and provided straightforward answers to my questions. He did not really coat my condition--dementia. He fully explained why he scored my cognitive test how he did. I did not feel he was hiding information from me. He is a very kind doctor who spent 1.5 hours with me. That was most appreciated.Unfortunately he was booked a year out when I first scheduled an appointment, but then there was a cancellation within a month of my first appointment and I was glad to see him sooner. Can we clone him!?

Dr Olney is amazing to work with. He is a renowned Neurologist and highly respected in his field. He was able to answer questions that we have had for a long time and were unable to get answers to. Dr Olney was our last hope and now we feel that we are getting the help we need. THANK YOU Dr Olney and staff!
