About David Olson, MD
Expertise
I would be happy to attempt to answer any questions about general pediatric topics, either medical issues or behavioral issues. This would include all the various questions one receives in a busy pediatric practice. I`m a board certified pediatrician in northern Michigan and have been in practice for over 15 years. I enjoy the teaching role I have in our practice and would enjoy the opportunity to help others with their pediatric problems.

This method worked like a charm for my 3.11 year old son and it took the responsibility off of me and gently put it on him. We started on Sunday, and by Wednesday he was no longer having accidents. Thank you Dr. Olson

I am also at my wits end with my 4.11 year old boy. I have an apt. with his pediatrician tomorrow as a matter of fact to discuss this issue.
I'm so glad, after months of searching the Internet that I my have come upon an answer. I would cancel the apt. except that instead of becoming constipated, my son has loose BM's. We've had him to an allergist as well as a gastric-intestinal and nothing seems to be the culprit. As I said, after reading this I think it may be just that my son is holding it too long but it has the opposite effect.

I can't wait to tell my husband & the grandparents!

I'll keep you posted.
