Overview

I focus on caring for the unique dermatological needs of solid organ transplant recipients. Specifically, I am an expert in diagnosing and treating skin diseases that affect transplant patients, especially skin cancer and infections. I also dedicate my time to doing research on how skin cancer affects this special population and how we may better prevent and treat their skin cancers. When I'm not seeing patients or doing research, I like to spend time outside with my husband and two boys.

Her top areas of expertise are Pyoderma Gangrenosum, Melanoma, Actinic Keratosis, Warts, and Tissue Biopsy.

Her clinical research consists of co-authoring 50 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.

I have two areas of clinical expertise: cutaneous lymphoma and hair disorders. In the area of cutaneous lymphoma, I have focused my research on clinical trials for new treatments and consensus building to establish standard guidelines for staging, evaluation, and treatment of patients, as well as the methodology used in clinical trials. My patients are invited to participate in my ongoing database, which captures their response to treatments. My goal is to find a cure for these cancers or, barring that, long lasting remissions. In the area of hair disorders, my goal is to help referring physicians diagnose and treat effectively multiple types of hair loss. My consultative practice is now focused on scarring alopecias, including frontal fibrosing alopecia and hair loss in African-American women in which causes are not obvious. My research focuses on collaborative work with multiple centers in the United States to help create knowledge and new treatments. Dr. Olsen is highly rated in 11 conditions, according to our data. Her top areas of expertise are Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL), Mycosis Fungoides, T-Cell Lymphoma, and Sezary Syndrome.
