Pediatric Dentist / Orthodontist I was born in Logan, Utah and grew up in North Logan when it was a farming community. I worked in the farms and went to North Cache Junior High before moving to Willard where I worked in the fruit orchards. I graduated from Box Elder High School where I was active in music and track. I served an LDS mission to Barcelona, Spain and later graduated from Utah State University. I graduated from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio dental school and finished a residency in Pediatric Dentistry at the same school. I served in US Navy for 3 years as a pediatric dentist at the Naval Air Station in Rota, Spain. After the Navy I completed a residency in Orthodontics at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston earning a certificate and Masters degree. I have been in private practice since 1994 here in the Salt Lake Valley. I also teach the dental residents at Primary Childrens Medical Center, the University of Utah Hospital, and the Veterans Hospital. I am married to Chris Adams and have four children, Megan, Adam, Chelsea, and Timothy.
Financial Coordinator I have lived in Utah most of my life. When I was fifteen, Dr. Barney was my orthodontist and after 1 1/2 years of braces, I now have a smile that I am not embarrassed by. I have worked for Dr. Barney since December 1999. In 2003, I married Zeke and together we have 2 beautiful daughters. I love spending time with my family and being a mom.
Dental Assistant I live in Riverton with my husband, Preston. We recently had our beautiful son, Griffin who we cant get enough of. I enjoy camping, hiking and anything outdoors. My family and friends mean everything to me. I love working for Dr. Olsen and being a part of this amazing team.
Dental Assistant I grew up in Orem and I have lived in Utah most of my life, except for the 3 months when I lived in Maui. I have been working for Dr. Olsen since 1997. I married Brandon, in February 1995 and together we have a son named Justin and our dog, Cricket. As a family we enjoy camping and riding four-wheelers, and when I have some time to myself I love to read and watch my favorite tv shows. My favorite authors include, Nora Roberts and James Patterson.
I am a military kid who moved around my entire life. I have a degree in photography, but found my calling in Dental assisting. During my adult life Ive lived in South Korea, Kazahkstan, Malta and Israel. I enjoy hiking, travel, a good Bahn Mi, and trying my hand at refinishing furniture. Im usually up for a good adventure and Ive learned that life doesnt always go how you think it will, but you just have to roll with it. I try to appreciate the little things and not sweat the small stuff.
I was raised in Nebraska and moved to Utah about 3 years ago. I am engaged and soon to be married to Jose. We have two fur babies together, Luna & Gemini. I enjoy painting, hiking and traveling when I am not at work. Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera are two of my favorite Mexican painters. My future goals include becoming a Pediatric Nurse and later a Nurse Anesthetist. Working at this office is a dream job, it is rewarding everyday as we help many children overcome fears. It is the I love coming and the Mom thats my friend that make everyday worth it to me.
I am a mom to my amazing son, Xander! In my free time I love spending time with my son, painting, fishing and doing spontaneous things! I love anything Halloween related or spooky. I love working for Dr. Olsen, and love working with kids. They always know how to make me laugh and smile!
Working with children has always been a deep passion for me and especially working with them in a dental environment. Spending time with my family, being outdoors in all seasons, camping, hiking, traveling and watching my 2 young boys grow and develop is what I enjoy. Being a part of Dr. Olsens team as a Dental Assistant and more recently, a Continuing Care Coordinator has brought me great pleasure. There is something so wonderful in being an instrument in setting kids up for a lifetime of good oral health.

I have been very happy with CRO. They have helped my son at PCMC with cavities and today they were so kind to my little girl that is scared of everyone. Also my children have been to many different dr appointments and have participated in different organization's and today was the first time anyone has ever asked me how I say my kids names. My kids have names that do not originate from English and today the Dental Assistant asked how I pronounce their names. I know it is a small thing. But it was so nice to have my kids names said right! I will def refer people to CRO. Thanks! :)

This is an amazing place! The staff are kind, helpful and professional. All 3 of my kids have done orthodontic care with Dr. Barney. In the many years we have been coming here(over 15 years), we have always had great experiences(including scheduling, billing, etc) The kids have healthy teeth and gorgeous smiles! Thank you, Dr Barney and staff!

Dr Barney Olsen and his team continue to excel. Comfortable competent and complete dental care for my children. They are never anxious or scared. The staff have helped us overcome any nervous feelings about the dentist office. We tried some places that had "good" reputations, however Dr. Olsen knows his stuff (he teaches dentistry too - so perfect!) and the environment has kept use there even though it is a bit of a drive for us! We highly recommend!

They always make my son (& myself) feel super comfortable. All staff members are SO sweet. They give my son a cute toy after. The waiting room has a little play set for the kids to play on which my son also loves!

We love Dr Olsen's office! I've known the assistants for years and they have been nothing short of amazing. The ladies at the front are also incredible. We are always greeted with smiles and hugs and you're remembered. It means so much to not be just another patient. The office is VERY kid friendly and makes something "scary" a lot more fun for the kiddos. Dr Olsen is so kind and is never one to impose unnecessary treatment. I will never take my kids anywhere else because I know they get the best care at Dr Olsens practice.

Staff is very friendly they remember details from your previous appointments. Patient with kids that are nervous to be there and that have sensory needs. They go over everything with the child and the parent and do a lot of hands on teaching about brushing and flossing.
