Biography
As a hepatologist, I specialize in caring for patients with liver disease and liver cancer. I also treat patients in need of liver transplants.
I believe education is the foundation of effective, comprehensive care. I’m passionate about making sure my patients understand their diagnosis and are aware of all of the options available to them, especially patients who have struggled to access quality medical care in the past.
My research is focused on disparities in health care and how to improve access for everyone. I have published multiple peer-reviewed publications on disparities in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and on efforts to improve outcomes in patients with liver disease. I have presented both nationally and in the state of Ohio.
It’s been a privilege to return to The Ohio State University and help to train the next generation of physicians in my role as an assistant professor. I completed my residency in Internal Medicine here, as well as additional training in gastroenterology and transplant hepatology. Before that, I completed my undergraduate education in chemistry at Bethany College and medical school at West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine.
When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, hiking and biking with my husband.

Lindsey is great. She is friendly, professional, displays empathy & a beacon of hope all in one visit. To me that is what a good doctor is for. Up to date on most recent treatments. It takes much more than just reviewing facts & She is the best example.
She is the best! Always listening to me and figuring out the best way to continue my health care.
All excellent
Excellent. Showed me lab values and discussed treatment plan
Dr Sobotka always listens to me, and she never talks AT me but with me, which has always been refreshing when in a doctor's office. She definitely shows, and has always shown, a deep care and understanding for and of her patients. And she helped answer questions for me that were not on the regular "menu" of our visits (a recent, unrelated and unexpected surgery I'd had just 2 days prior at OSUWMC, and for which I'd just been discharged less than 24 hrs prior to my appt time). She even said she's kept up with my lab results from my inpatient stay there and had been checking on if I'd been discharged yet. This was honestly a really great thing to hear from her, as I'd been worried the first she'd find out was if I was either at my appt or if I had to cancel!
She is the best.
