About Me

Timothy Olsen holds a master’s degree in sports medicine from California University of Pennsylvania and a bachelor’s degree in athletic training from the University of Lynchburg. After spending eight years as an athletic trainer, he decided to pursue his Master of Physician Assistant Medicine from the University of Lynchburg. After graduating from PA school, he worked in orthopedics for two and a half years before transitioning to Centra Medical Group’s Neurology Team in January 2020. He has been the lead practitioner of the Centra Headache Clinic since October 2020, something he became interested in because his wife suffers from migraines. When he is not providing care at Centra’s Headache Clinic, he enjoys spending time with his amazing wife and two young, energetic boys or playing a round of golf!

I was distraught by a recent onslaught of migraines, but Dr Olsen listened to my concerns and calmed me with compassion and humor. He honored my request to continue preventive treatment and switched two of my pain medications for a trial period. He assured me I can contact him for changes if needed. I felt listened to and cared for; left his office with a positive outlook. He's the best!

Ratings and comments are obtained from verified patient survey data collected on behalf of Centra by a third-party vendor, Press Ganey Associates, Inc. Centra uses Press Ganey’s MD satisfaction surveys to assess patients' experiences with healthcare providers and staff. In order to support full transparency, Centra ensures that the full range of patient comments, both positive and negative, are published.

Star ratings are displayed only for those physicians who participate in Centra’s patient experience survey program through Press Ganey and have received a minimum of 30 surveys responses.

Despite the drive toward full transparency, occasionally some comments cannot be published because they jeopardize the patient’s privacy, contain vulgar or offensive language, or contain libelous or defamatory content. In these rare instances, comment exclusion based on a strict set of exclusion criteria may be appropriate.
