Some issues Dr. Mason W. Oltman, MD can help you with:

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is one of the most common disorders diagnosed in children. It is characterized by hyperactivity and difficulty maintaining focus or paying attention. ADHD may last into adulthood for some patients. Boys are more likely to be diagnosed with this condition than girls, although medical experts are unsure why this is. ADHD symptoms include:

  • Forgetfulness in home, school, and work activities
  • Inability to sustain focus for longer periods of time
  • Frequent distraction by other stimuli
  • Tendency to fidget and squirm
  • Excessive talk and movements

There are three main types of ADHD:

  • Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive types show symptoms such as constant fidgeting, talking non-stop, touching everything, having trouble sitting still and waiting their turn, and interrupting others.
  • Predominantly inattentive types are easily distracted or bored. They may wander off during tasks, forget instructions, daydream, or appear not to be listening. This type sometimes goes undiagnosed as children with it are not hyperactive and may have few behavioral issues.
  • Combined types show symptoms from both categories. This type is the most common type of ADHD.

Treatment can include stimulant medications and behavioral therapy to teach patients ways to navigate their world and control symptoms better. In addition to treatment, accommodations at school or work can greatly help people with ADHD improve their productivity and confidence. A structured environment (with lots of organization and well-defined rules) seems to help most children with ADHD function at their best.

ADHD is mainly thought of as a disorder that affects children, but symptoms can last into adulthood for many. In adults, ADHD has similar symptoms as when it is seen in children: impulsive behavior and difficulty maintaining focus. These symptoms can cause problems in both careers and relationships. Additionally, adults with ADHD are at increased risk for substance abuse. Medications can be an important part of treatment for adults, as well as learning stress reduction techniques and organization skills. Specialized ADHD coaches can help adults with ADHD manage their symptoms and thrive in life.

I appreciate how Dr. Oltman at Swedish Primary Care spent time with me, not rushed, listening, and answering my questions- without assuming I might know information. He respectfully honored my medical preferences and was open to discussing them, and helped keep our conversation on track. He was thorough with the annual check up for my 9-month old baby, and reassured me that everything looks good, and pointed out an abnormality and what it means, and how to monitor its development.

Our appointment was the morning of the pipe burst at the queen anne clinic, and was also our first visit with Swedish because we just moved back to WA. We got an early morning email that the appointment was cancelled, but then a phone call that we could be seen at the Lake Union clinic. Everyone was so wonderful even though it was clearly a chaotic morning for your team. We are happy to have found you!

This was our first time seeing Dr Oltman since our previous pediatrician left the practice. I emailed Dr Olrman prior to our visit with some questions and he promptly responded. During the visit he was courteous, attentive and addressed all of our concerns. He followed up with us after consulting an outside specialities. We couldn't be happier with Dr Oltman and feel fortunate to have found him.

We love Dr. Oltman. You can tell he's busy and has lots of patients but he also has lots of patience. He is attentive and clear in the moment. He takes time to connect but at the same time he efficient. We like him A LOT. He also does not make us feel dumb for asking Qs, which is highly important to us as parents of a Black baby boy.

Wonderful experience and provider. He spoke directly to my son about healthy eating habits and healthy physical activity, and I see him wanting to now consume less sugar/sugary drinks and is now excited to go on our family walks. He inspires my son to be as healthy as he can be--I was so thankful for our last appointment.

We had an initial check up for our kids as we moved from another country and the doctor and staff were really approachable and spoke in detail in terms of vaccination records and health. Were able to help me provide details why kids need some vaccinations which is mandatory here..
