She grew up dancing competitively and playing volleyball. Naturally this would lead Dr. Oltmann to have a special interest in sports injury management with an emphasis on dancers, as she understands the biomechanics of dancer’s feet. She has other surgical interests in fracture management, lower extremity trauma, reconstructive foot and ankle surgery, diabetic limb salvage, bunion, and hammertoe surgery, including minimally invasive techniques. Dr. Oltmann has advanced training in external fixation, micro nerve surgery, muscle flaps, and minimally invasive techniques.
Dr. Oltmann enjoys traveling to lecture regionally and nationally. She is on the speaker’s bureau for a publicly held company that is an industry leader in advanced wound care and therapeutic biologics. She also lectures to University Hospitals Internal Medicine and Transitional Year Residents, as well as community outreach with the UH Senior Network. Dr. Oltmann gives lectures regionally and nationally on topics such as Forefoot Traumatology, Dancer’s Injuries, Autoimmune Diseases in the Lower Extremity, and Limb Salvage to name a few.
In her spare time Dr. Oltmann enjoys working out, golfing, swimming in the summer months, playing volleyball, both indoor and sand, and riding her Peloton. When she has a free weekend she enjoys traveling back to the Youngstown area where much of her family resides. She resides in North Ridgeville, OH with her Golden Retrievers “Braxton” and “Oliver”.
