    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. Dr. Olson is highly rated in 3 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Familial Hypertension, Hypertension, Glucocorticoid-Remediable Aldosteronism, and Vertigo. Dr. Olson is board certified in Family Medicine.

    What is a primary care physician (PCP)?  

    A primary care physician (PCP) is the first doctor people go to when they feel sick or need a check-up. This doctor helps with many different health problems, gives advice to keep patients healthy, and treats common illnesses. A PCP also keeps track of a person’s overall health and can refer them to a specialist if more specific care is needed.    

    What’s the difference between a primary care physician (PCP) and a specialist?  

    The main difference between a PCP and a specialist is the kind of health conditions they treat. PCPs care for people of all ages and treat a wide range of health issues, from the common cold to sports injuries. They also focus on preventive care, such as vaccines to prevent illnesses or screenings to catch diseases before they become serious. 

    Specialists, on the other hand, have advanced training in a specific area of medicine like cardiology (heart health) or neurology (brain health). There are many kinds of specialists on MediFind, each with their own focus. When needed, PCPs will help patients understand when they need to see a specialist. PCPs will also collaborate with specialists on a treatment plan specific to their patients’ needs. 

    What is another name for a primary care physician?

    There are a few different types of primary care doctors. In addition to primary care providers, a primary care physician may also be called a general practitioner, family doctor, or internist. There are also PCPs with special training to work with specific patient populations. Pediatricians, for example, are PCPs who work with children, while geriatricians are PCPs who work with older adults.  

    Why do people have a primary care physician?

    People have a primary care physician to help keep them healthy and to have a doctor they can go to for most of their health needs. A PCP helps with regular check-ups, treats illnesses, and can help manage long-term health problems. That’s why it’s helpful for patients to maintain long-term relationships with their PCPs if possible.    

    Why does my health insurance require me to see a primary care physician?   

    Health insurance requires patients to see a primary care physician because a PCP helps keep people healthy with preventive care, which lowers costs for the insurer. A PCP can also decide if a patient needs to see a specialist, which helps avoid unnecessary tests and treatments, keeping healthcare costs down. 

    What is the first thing a doctor does when seeing a patient?   

    The first thing a primary care doctor does when seeing a patient is to ask questions about their health and health goals. This includes asking about symptoms, past health problems, family health history, and lifestyle. This helps the doctor understand what’s going on if the patient is experiencing a problem, or what might help the patient get healthier or stay healthy. 

    When should I visit a Nurse Practitioner (NP) vs. a Doctor (MD)?  

    You can visit a Nurse Practitioner (NP) for routine check-ups, minor illnesses, and help with long-term health issues. Nurse Practitioners are trained to handle many common health problems. You should see a Doctor (MD) for more serious or complicated health issues, or if you need specialized care that an NP cannot provide. Sometimes, NPs and MDs work together to take care of their patients.
