About Me
I became a primary care provider because I am passionate about helping my patients achieve their health goals and improve their quality of life. In my role at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I perform routine health screenings and treat chronic conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, asthma, thyroid issues and enlarged prostate. I am also board certified in osteopathic manipulation and can help treat musculoskeletal conditions.
When patients come to see me, they can expect an empathetic and compassionate approach. I always work directly with my patients to find treatment solutions tailored to fit their goals and values. Imam al-Shafi’i, a famous classical Muslim jurist, once said, “I’m not aware of anything after [Islamic knowledge] more noble than the knowledge of medicine.” What drives me is that by practicing medicine, I am continuing this noble art to serve my community.
The Ohio State University is a large, modern institution with state-of-the-art resources that enable advanced patient care, and I am thrilled to continue my career here. I also appreciate that as an academic facility, working physicians can take part in something bigger than themselves by getting involved in research projects. I am excited about participating in research that can help move medicine forward.
When I’m not working, I love playing with and teaching my two toddlers. When I have a minute to myself, I like to split my time between growing spiritually and learning about my Islamic faith and growing physically by trying to challenge myself in bodyweight fitness or playing soccer.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 09/30/2024, Dr. Soomro has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
He was running late and in a hurry. He asked me a question and didn't really listen to the answer. My problem was really not addressed. We could have just done that visit over a MyChart message if he wasn't going to listen.
