Physician, Assistant Professor
Primary Care - Internal Medicine
Department: Internal Medicine
With dual board-certifications in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine, I provide medical weight management care with The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center's Comprehensive Weight Management Program. The team’s energy, enthusiasm and commitment to providing the best possible health care is inspiring, and I’m proud to be part of it.
I am interested in preventive medicine, women’s health, nutrition and lipid management. The most common conditions I treat include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, coronary artery disease, hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), anxiety, depression and binge eating disorder.
I am passionate about partnering with my patients to help them safely reach their weight loss goals and achieve optimal health. I utilize a patient-centered approach and believe in developing strong, lasting relationships with each person I treat. When patients come to see me, they can expect compassion, respect and clinical excellence. I work collaboratively with patients and their families to manage and optimize their physical health and overall well-being.
My research focuses on obesity medicine, and I am committed to increasing awareness of evidence-based medical treatments for obesity. I am a Fellow of the Obesity Medicine Association, serve on the editorial board for Obesity Pillars Journal and have been invited to lecture nationally and internationally as an obesity medicine expert.
My role includes helping to educate the next generation of physicians as an assistant clinical professor of Internal Medicine in The Ohio State University College of Medicine. I also serve as the obesity medicine elective director for the Internal Medicine Residency Program. Additionally, I have developed curriculum with the Obesity Medicine Association as a member of the Clinician in Training Education Committee.
I am an avid hiker and yogi. When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, mastering challenging trails and exploring new techniques on my yoga mat.

Assuming this portion is for Allison, I hope the character limit is high. This next statement is true: I have a better, more optimistic, outlook on my future health after meeting that woman, Her listening skills are off the chart. Period. She adapted her to care to my preferences in such a manner that I gained excitement about my future. She expressed a genuine interest in my well being and I hope to god she stays in Columbus and cares for me for the next 30 or so years I've got left on this rock. One visit and I can say she's the best doctor I've ever had. Honest. Thank you. Stay well and stay around.
