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.

Dr Olney is fabulous. Hard to schedule as his load is heavy with such limited neurology access in Providence and PDX
Providence Patient
Dr. Olney is both kind and friendly in dealing with a my husbands LBD. That is not easy. He is open to ideas and seems genuinely concerned not just for my husband, but for me as his caregiver.

Excellent and completer. Probably the best doctor I've had!

The care team at this ALS clinic had to face me in my most trying time and worry. It is a huge challenge for them, since the grim news could be on the way. The team's positivity was excellent, which helped alleviate my worries.
Providence Patient
I have great respect for Dr. Onley.
Providence Patient
In general, I found the professionals and procedures involved with my appointment to be comfortable to talk with and informative about what the appointment goal was. The flow of the appointment was interrupted a couple times, but did not seem to cause any problems.
