“I always wanted to go into medicine, but I was never really sure which field I would pursue. During the summer between my junior and senior years of college, I called Pediatrics Northwest and asked if I could work in the office to get some experience. That was it, I was hooked. A major bonus of being a pediatrician is providing care over a continuous period of 20 years or so with one patient. My philosophy of care is to treat each and every patient as if they were my own. After each visit I ask myself if I would be satisfied as a parent with the care that I provided for the child. I am always open to a healthy discussion about a treatment plan and appreciate parental input. We all have the same goal in the end, and that is to raise a healthy, well-rounded child.”
For fun outside the office, Dr. Oltman loves to get outdoors. In summer that ranges from travelling to faraway places, camping high in the Cascades, catching a ballgame at Safeco, playing golf and firing up the barbecue. In winter it's back to the mountains for skiing, anywhere from Mt. Bachelor to Crystal to Whistler. As an avid sports fan, Dr. Oltman is a season-ticket holder to the Seahawks, Sounders and UW Huskies football. He is accompanied on these journeys by his fiancée Sally and Brittany spaniel Duchess.
