Dr. Todd Olsen
For the past twenty years, Dr. Todd Olsen has been working hard to provide high quality dentistry in Lethbridge and its surrounding area. He is very proud of the practice that he has created here in our community. Dr. Olsen graduated from the University of Alberta in 1993. Two years later, he and his family moved to Lethbridge where he set up his own dental practice. He has always stood by the fact that when it comes to health care, bigger is not always better. Dr. Olsen said, “I strive to provide patients with the best treatment for them. I have always felt that if I give my patients the best treatment for them personally, I will be able to make a living.” That means that we like to offer treatment with our eyes focused on our patients and not on our bottom line!
