Dr. Megan L. Oltmann is a board-certified foot surgeon and managing partner of Foot and Ankle Associates of Cleveland. Dr. Oltmann graduated from The Ohio State University where she obtained her bachelor’s in biology and minor in dance. She then went on to attend Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine where obtained her Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine. Dr. Oltmann completed her surgical residency at Cleveland Clinic Foundation and Mercy Health. Dr. Oltmann is the current Medical Director for University Hospitals Bedford and Richmond Wound Care Centers. She is currently core teaching faculty for University Hospitals Podiatric Surgery Residency Program as well as adjunct clinical and surgical faculty for Kent State College of Podiatric Medicine. She is currently on staff at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center and University Hospitals Ahuja Medical Center as well as Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital. She was recently named one of “Cleveland Top Doctors” by Cleveland Magazine as voted on by her peers.

Dr. Oltmann is a co-author of the #1 best-seller “Chronicles of Women in White Coats 3”. She co-authored the book with the group Women in White Coats (WIWC). The authors discuss their trials, tribulations, and triumphs as female physicians. In her chapters Dr. Oltmann discusses her eight-year journey to a diagnosis with an autoimmune disease and overcoming gender bias as a female physician in her chapters entitled “A Dancer's Dilemma” and “The Double Standard”. Kent State Alumni Magazine featured Dr. Oltmann on the cover for “Blazing a Trail for the Future of Women in Medicine” after her work with WIWC.
Dr. Oltmann has two large interests in her clinical and surgical practice: dancers and diabetics. 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 also focuses heavily on diabetic limb salvage and wound care on the inpatient and wound center side of her practice.

While she is not seeing her patients clinically 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 Wellness Program. 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 spending time with her family, working out, golfing, playing volleyball, both indoor and sand, and riding her Peloton. She currently resides in Avon Lake, Ohio with her husband Joshua, her “bonus children” Olivia, and Collin, as well their three Golden Retrievers, Braxton, Oliver, and Luna.
