Biography
As a family medicine physician, I use a comprehensive approach to patient care. I take the time to get to know my patients, understand their unique backgrounds and encourage them to ask questions. My goal is to empower individuals by developing strong patient-physician relationships, ensuring the highest quality care and individualized treatment plans. I specialize in anxiety, arthritis, depression, disease management and health promotion.
I enjoy working at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center because of the rigorous academic environment and the ability to pursue my passion of helping others. Having the opportunity to teach residents allows me to impart my knowledge and experiences onto the next generation of physicians.
In my free time I enjoy playing with my dogs, reading, running, practicing yoga and traveling with my husband.

Academics and research
I joined The Ohio State University Family Medicine Department in August 2018, and am very excited to be working with such a wonderful group of faculty members and residents. I completed my Family Medicine residency at the University of Rochester, where I also served as a PGY-4 Chief Resident. In Rochester, I explored my interests in resident education and leadership by holding several leadership positions within the ACGME and my own residency program. I also participated in my program’s Global Health track in Honduras, which taught me how to provide sustainable international health care. I also have a special interest in resident wellness and have advocated for policy change, both at a national level, and within my former residency program.

Dr Pannu is the best PCP I've ever had. She actively listens, is realistic relative to challenges with healthcare and offers viable alternatives whether they work for me or not. I have nothing bad to say about her.
All good
Great educator so that patient understands. Dr. Pannu is amazing.
She's always great
Professional
Dr Pannu was excellent in every way. Note: Dr Pannu ordered book work: as of this writing I've received the immediate technical results (said to be not yet reviewed by Dr P); but I assume that her commentary will be arriving soon.
The Provider was patient and caring and listen to all concerns
Dr. Pannu is excellent. When I moved to Cbus 6 years ago, I was 72 and hoped to find an older PCP. Upon meeting her, however, I had no doubt she'd be fine. Turns out she's finer than fine.
She is the ABSOLUTE BEST!
Listen to me very carefully. I understood my concerns and addressed them. I think she's the best.
Best care provider ever
Answered my questions honestly
My care provider, Dr Amanda Pannu is the best provider ever. They are the most kind, caring and of all doctors, the most listening. They care more to know and understand. They provide context and options for ways of handling/taking medications. They are just the best!
Dr. Pannu is a fantastic physician, she really listens and cares for her patients.
Eye have no bad experience.
The care provider is always a pleasure to work with. The care provider is two steps ahead of my care plan. It makes me feel like I have world class health care. Thank you.
Good
Dr. Pannu always listens and then addresses any concerns I have; is always warm and welcoming; she always reviews concerns addressed the previous appointment

I feel safe around here. I feel confident that I could tell her anything and I feel she has my My best concerns I believe she treats me with the best care possible, but anyone could ask for I think she's a great doctor
Nothing bad about osu readian family practice. Nothing bad to say
Pays extra attention to my needs. Very caring
I recently moved and Dr Pannu is someone well worth the added drive to continue seeing. I have never had a PCP as genuinely caring and kind as her. I cannot stress enough how poor my experiences have been in the past and how much I appreciate Dr Pannu.
Professional, competent and personable
Dr. Pannu is a wonderful doctor. I feel like I won the lottery with her. She is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, warm, and engaged. I couldn't ask for a better doctor.
Extremely attentive and actually ask questions and listen the patient. Very thoughtful about prescription, referrals and exams to better solve patient's issues.
A great visit! One of the best PCPs I've ever had.
She's always cheerful
Dr. Pannu very helpful and understanding of my health concerns, informs me of vaccines and health maintenance needed as I age. Communication flows freely and I feel like I am more concerned about time than she is- very efficient but never feels at all rushed.
Dr Pannu is uniformly excellent: she's a pleasure to consult.
Only positive
No bad experience
I saw Dr. Pannu to establish care and she is wonderful! She really took the time to listen to me and my concerns. And she took the time to make sure she answered my questions and concerns.
Amanda is awesome. My wife and I both had appts and the difference in care was night and day from our prior PCP. Will recommend Amanda to anyone who needs a PCP who cares.
I love Dr. Pannu. She's very good.

Professional courtesy, review of case and complete answers to my questions and concerns
Dr. Pannu freaking rules. She's been my doctor for I think about 5 years now, and she's the best thing that ever happened to this middle aged guy. She's amazing. Thoughtful, caring, empathetic, and intelligent. I trust her more than any other doctor I've had. I look forward to my visits with her. I know I can be honest with her and judged or looked down on for the various poor decisions I make. She rules.
Good
Very good listener. Very good with people.
Amanda Pannu is the best, love that she uses recording so she can actually pay attention to us instead of charting mid appointment. It makes all the difference in showing she cares about our entire family who see her as our PCP.
My new PCP was very helpful and responsive. I really appreciated the use of the scribe and scheduling our next appointment herself.
I've always found Dr Pannu to be excellent in every way.
She was so nice! She explained everything so well and we talked about some changes that will be better for my health and went forward with those.
