About Me
I became a certified nurse-midwife because I’m passionate about offering women the best reproductive care possible at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
I feel it’s crucial to collaborate with each patient to create a high-quality, evidence-based health care plan that aligns with their unique needs and values. My patients can trust that I’ll always listen to their concerns, address their questions and empower them to make important decisions about their bodies.
I provide well-woman care, contraceptive management including IUD and Nexplanon, preconception counseling, and STI testing and treatment. I also regularly treat conditions such as vaginitis, pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea, and address menstrual concerns.
In my free time, I like to spend time with friends and my significant other. I enjoy binge-watching true-crime documentaries, watching football games and eating spicy food.

My provider reviewed my records prior to meeting with me. She listened to my concerns and validated my experience
She is very good at her job and very courteous
Dr. Patel is wonderful!! She is personable and informative, listening carefully to concerns and providing helpful information and suggestions. She is thorough and attentive and never seems rushed. She is extremely knowledgeable and very professional!
Aashka is a rare provider that combines excellent care with a warm friendly attitude. Though I only see her once a year for regular check ups, the visits are like seeing a friend who helps me understand the aging process I'm navigating.
Excellent .
I really love seeing Ms. Patel. She always gives me all the time I need and answers all of my questions. In addition, when I needed help in seeking care for a family members she was extremely helpful. I would recommend her to anyone needing GYN care.
Well informed, followed up with results VERY quickly, I knew what to expect
Always a pleasure
My provider was the best a person could ever get...
She came right in and had already looked over my chart and knew what we talked about last time, which was great!
Provider was kind and listen to what I had to say
Super informative and engaged, understanding and willing to take the time, went above and beyond my expectations
It was a good experience. I felt very comfortable and safe considering the exams taking place.
Np Patel was AMAZING!! I am so glad my friend recommended her. I am delighted to be a patient
NP Patel was great. She was courteous, knowledgeable, & very understanding.
GREAT listener. Empathy for patient situations.

My car provider was good

Excellent
I found Patel very helpful and knowledgeable. She provided insights and context for my other women's health medical care.
Nice
What an amazing physician! She put me at ease, answered all my questions without being patronizing, did an examination and diagnosed what was a minor problem. I wish she was my general practitioner.I felt I could share anything and received so much understanding and empathy. I am so happy I got to see Dr Patel and in such a timely fashion.
Professional, friendly. Explained procedure and discussed follow up
Absolutely one of the best providers!! Alway thorough and takes time to discuss all of my questions.
Aashka Patel is a wonderful provider. She listens, cares and is extremely knowledgeable
She was the first OB in a long time to listen to my concerns and take them seriously.
Good
Came in the room updated on my medical history since last visit and maintained focus on my concerns in the moment and future.
Very friendly, listened to my concerns and made me feel very comfortable. Answered all my questions and made me feel at ease.
Care was very good.
Aashka is great! She is friendly, very familiar with my history and clearly had reviewed my records before coming in, knowledgeable, and was easy to talk to and made me feel heard. She made sure to ask if I had any concerns or anything I wanted to bring up. She made me feel comfortable during my visit and I couldn't recommend her more.
Ok
Very quick and answered all of my questions!
Aashka was extremely helpful, talked with me about all my previous and current concerns to ensure they were addressed, and communicated in a way that was super easy to understand. She is an excellent provider and makes sure all my questions are answered and that I'm comfortable with my healthcare decisions that are made.
She is phenomenal. Very well prepared, relatable, put me at ease, attentive, efficient, answered all questions very clearly and reassuringly.
I have seen Dr. Patel three times now for gynecological annual exams and follow up concerns. Each time I have seen Dr. Patel, especially during our first visit, I was amazed at the length of time she took to listen to me, answer my questions, and looked for ways to provide additional resource and assistance for my concerns. I felt as if she would take whatever time was needed to listen to me. Most doctors that I have encountered quickly chatted with me and seemed to dismiss some of my comments. That was not the case with Dr. Patel. She listened. She clarified. She was genuine. That provided the reason for me to start utilizing the Ohio State medical providers. Dr. Patel is amazing. She seemed efficient and knowledgeable, and an asset to the Ohio State Medical community.
She is amazing. She listens and offers thoughtful suggestions- for real life.
I really enjoy Aashka Patel. I feel that she listens to me and answers all of my questions without hesitation. I feel that she provides me with time to ask questions and does not rush through the exam.
Of all of my care providers, this provider is my favorite. She spends as much time with me as needed, truly listens to my concerns/medical updates, and immediately puts a plan in action if needed. I recently switched insurance companies and found out that this provider is considered out of network--I knew right away that I would not be switching to an in-network provider if it meant I had to be seen by someone other than this provider. That speaks to how much I respect and appreciate this provider and the services she offers.
Knowledgeable
She is extremely professional and knowledgeable in her field. She shows genuine interest in my concerns and answers questions thoroughly and easy to understand.
She was great. I didn't feel rushed.
Very informative! Aashka also had a student shadowing for one of my appointments, and the student was great as well! I asked them a lot of questions to make the most informed decision possible, and they explained things in an accessible yet thorough way. They were also very mindful of how a gynecology exam can be invasive or triggering and were very clearly committed to making sure I felt comfortable and safe.
Good experience
Ashka is my favorite health care provider that I have ever had. She takes the time needed and then some to make sure I am comfortable during uncomfortable procedures. She is the first provider that has taken my menstrual pain seriously and provided solutions.
Care provider is amazing! I love Ashka! And her student was great as well.
She was nice
She's awesome and smart. Listens to to me and solved my issues
She was fantastic
Care provider was great. Has been working w/me via mychart to help w/concerns.
Dr Patel LISTENS!!! Very personable, upbeat, POSITIVE !
My provider impressed me with how much she remembered about my medical history. She did an excellent job discussing fertility testing with me. She alleviated a lot of my fears by thoroughly explaining the required steps for fertility testing and when it would be indicated. She was very knowledgeable. I feel prepared to navigate the next steps when it comes time.
My care provider also seemed to have a good background knowledge of my health history, especially considering she has never seen me before. She did an excellent and thorough job of asking me questions and answering any questions that I had. She provided good explanations for what my symptoms could possibly be and ordered tests so that she could gain more insight as well. She was very friendly and personable. After my blood tests results, she sent me a messGe the same day.
Exceptionally patient, respectful, professional and addressed my concerns with helpful suggestions and recommendations
Aashka explains things in a way that is easy to understand. She really cares about her patients.
She explained everything very well, followed up on my questions really well, she found the problems I needed to address and informed me in a very nice manner. Would 10000% recommend!
Love her! Recommend her to my friend's. She has helped my friend. She's very thorough and knowledgeable.
Listened to what I had to say and provided feedback
Very friendly and nice
She was amazing! Friendly, addressed all my questions and concerns
She listened to my concerns and shared her thought process on the options of care she recommended.
She talked to me about my history with them & gave advice I really appreciated.
My first visit and very attentive
Very professional and friendly
NP Patel was the epitome of knowledge and kindness that you'd want in a provider.
This was a 5 star visit. 1. Aashka explains health matters, and explains procedures prior to engaging in the exam. 2. She was fully aware of my past history. 3. She was extremely respectful of my comfort and privacy. 4. She answered my questions to the fullest. 5. The visit occurred on time. Well done in every aspect of the visit.
Approachable, easy to talk to, kindly
Very friendly. Took time to ask/answer questions and provided a comfortable environment.
She was caring and listened to me. She gave me the Information I needed and she said not to hesitate to contact her If I needed anything.
I plan on discontinuing treatment with OSU due to how difficult the experience typically is and how I satisfied I am. Aashka is the only provider I will continue to see through OSU. She is AMAZING. If she ever leaves OSU I will follow her where she goes. She is the only provider through OSU that seems to actually care about patients as people and really wants to care for them. She trusts what patients have to say or ask for and does what she can to meet their needs. I have referred multiple friends to her and everyone who sees her loves her and agrees they will follow her to whatever practice she goes to
Went above and beyond to help me understand things, feel comfortable, problem solve some concerns, and to provide testing and referrals for me.
