About Me
I chose to become a physician because I’m passionate about helping people improve their health and their quality of life. As a gastroenterologist, I specialize in treating disorders of the digestive track, as well as performing upper and lower endoscopies including those for colon cancer screenings.
My patients can rely on me as a partner in their health care journey. I take the time to listen to each patient’s concerns and empower them to take an active role in their GI care.
I chose to remain in academic medicine because it allows me to pursue two passions: helping patients improve their health and educating the next generation of physicians. It’s a privilege to be back at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and have the opportunity to mentor medical students, residents and fellows.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and playing with my dog. I also like hiking and traveling.

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 09/30/2022, Dr. Hooper has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
I had a bad experience with a previous gastroenterologist, so Dr Hooper was a significant step up. He took care of all the concerns that I had and I feel like moving forward I have a physician that can guide me in my disease management.
Professional and thorough
The doctor seemed a little rushed, but this is my experience with all the specialists I visited. My clinical doctor, however, took her time to examine me and gave me time to think about any other questions I may have. This does not happen when I visit specialists, and this time was the same. I regret how rushed they are overall.
Doctor checked out my pulse and ran an ekg. Gave me a copy to show my heart doctor.
Doctors nurses receptionist all are an excellent personnel kind always. I felt respected & very well attended by all.
