About Me

As an osteopathic physician, I specialize in providing exceptional primary care at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I chose a career in medicine because I genuinely care about the health and well-being of each person who comes to see me.

I practice a whole-person, common sense approach that addresses each patient’s physical, mental and emotional needs to help them lead a higher quality of life. My patients can always rely on me for excellent communication as we work together to achieve their wellness goals. Previous experiences working in hospice and as a medical director for nursing facilities greatly influenced my approach as well, and my patients can expect compassion in every interaction.

In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I help educate future physicians in my role as a clinical assistant professor of Internal Medicine in the Ohio State College of Medicine. I am also a fellow in the American College of Osteopathic Internists.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and our dogs. I enjoy cooking and being outside.

    This was my first appointment with Dr. Skinner. She was very compassionate, thorough, and non-judgmental. She listened to my concerns, and I felt we made medical decisions collaboratively. She allowed me to be vulnerable and express my previous apprehensions with medical care. She never once belittled me during this appointment. In fact, she told me "not to worry, together we will get you caught up and on the right path to health." This is the care all patients deserve, and I truly appreciate her knowledge and kindness. I think we need to recognize our outstanding care providers more at OSU.
