Overview

I'm Christopher Olson, a family physician with Mercy Medical Group in El Dorado Hills, California.  Thank you for your interest in my information!  I graduated from Cornell University in 1997, University of Connecticut School of Medicine in 2001, and Brown University internship/residency in 2004.  I am very happy to call Mercy Medical Group my professional home.  We are a multispeciality group of hundreds of quality physicians in the Greater Sacramento area.  Mercy Med places high emphasis on physician leadership; accordingly, physicians here tend to take ownership of our practices.  That translates to more of an old-school intimacy between our patients and their docs.  I like that.I believe there is no question that strong physical health is interwoven with sound mental health.  I've seen plenty of physical ailments arise from paralyzing anxiety or stress.  So when I evaluate a patient, I do so from a more holistic perspective, taking into consideration his or her mental and social well-being.  That said, I am conscious of an unfortunately common public perception, that natural is always safer and gentler.  In fact, I think a more respectful view of nature is one in which we recognize its strength and power.  And so while I subscribe to a more holistic worldview, I do adhere to scientific principles and follow evidence-based medicine.I have been honored to receive a number of awards from my local community.  I have been named as a top 3 recipient of the local Style Magazine's Readers' Choice Award for favorite general doctor in the Folsom-El Dorado Hills area for the past six consecutive years.  I was ranked #1 in that group in 2015.  Similarly, I was honored to receive Folsom Telegraph's Best of the Best award for favorite general doctor in 2015.  While these awards are certainly an honor, I do share that honor with my exceptionally compassionate and skilled office staff, and my caring and conscientious colleagues.  When we combine compassionate care, a state-of-the-art medical facility, and the physician-leadership philosophy of Mercy Medical Group, I think that's what earns such community recognition.Thank you again for looking at Mercy Medical Group, as well as my own information.Every patient I encounter is somebody's son or daughter, and often somebody's husband or wife, mother or father, loved one or dear friend.  I treat every patient with that fact in mind; I strive to treat everyone as I'd want my own family members to be treated.
