Biography
In my role as a family nurse practitioner, I regularly treat patients for conditions including diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and obesity. I provide preventive health care, including annual gynecologic exams during annual comprehensive physicals, and address patients’ acute needs via in person or telehealth visits.
My practice includes an emphasis on lifestyle medicine. I am passionate about sharing the power of plant-predominant nutrition, regular physical activity, restful sleep, healthy stress management practices, the importance of having a supportive community and the avoidance of toxic substances – all to prevent, treat and even reverse chronic diseases.
I strive to provide a support system for each patient and help them maintain sustainable lifestyle practices. When patients come to see me, they can trust that I will meet them where they are, offer customized treatment plans that will help them achieve their optimal state of health and well-being and that I’ll celebrate their successes.
When I am not working, I enjoy volunteering with other health care professionals and students of all disciplines at the Columbus Free Clinic, where I serve as a board member. I also enjoy gardening, plant-based cooking, teaching and taking classes at Barre3, and spending time with my husband and son.

Abby is amazing! This was my first encounter with her and I couldn't be happier
Nurse was perfect, spend the time needed to understand my concern. Suggested x-ray which I had and received results and text from nurse that day.
Friendly, knowledgeable, through
A. Oberla is excellent. She listens carefully, responds thoughtfully and is very responsive to any follow up messages. She is kind and patient but I don't feel condescended to either. I am grateful she is willing to deal with aging patients and their problems without making one feel like they are not a real person. Not sure how best to explain it but you get the gist.
Never a bad experience and I mean never.
She listened carefully and was helpful in moving towards a solution
