Biography
As a family medicine physician, I’m passionate about working with people of all ages, races, genders and backgrounds to help improve their overall health and quality of life. I enjoy taking care of families, including children, to help tailor patient care to the individual to best improve their health and meet their goals.
I specialize in general primary care; managing chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension; mental and behavioral health; preventive care; prenatal care; mom and baby care; and acute problems including respiratory illnesses, rashes and minor musculoskeletal injuries. I also have a special interest in women’s health as well as women’s health procedures such as colposcopy.
I enjoy working at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center because we’re a community of health care providers who truly care for the health and well-being of our patients. We have a collaborative environment that allows us to provide the highest level of care to our patients and their communities.
At my practice, I focus on creating lasting and successful relationships. My goal is to learn more about you as an individual and about your values and health goals. By using shared decision-making and evidence-based practices, together we’ll ensure that you receive the best health care possible.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, traveling and hiking.

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 11/3/2025, Amythest Gauthier has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
