Dr. Bolson joined Black Hills Orthopedic & Spine Center in the summer of 2010. Her practice consists of orthopedic surgery with a specialization in medical and surgical conditions of the hand and upper limb. Her interests in upper extremity stem from a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions including arthritis, trauma, sports injuries, and peripheral nerve pathology.

Dr. Bolson is originally from Houston, Texas. She spent her surgical training years on the west coast. She completed her orthopedic surgery residency in Seattle at the University of Washington, and completed her fellowship training at the Stanford University Hand & Upper Limb Center in Palo Alto, California.

Dr. Bolson and her husband now live in Rapid City and look forward to exploring the Black Hills area. Her interests outside of the medical field include running, yoga, hiking, and spending time with family and friends.
