Physician, Associate Professor
Primary Care - Family Medicine
Department: Family Medicine
My passion for family medicine began during the time I spent working in an Afghan refugee camp located in Iran. That same passion lives on inside me today.
I now provide care as a board-certified family practitioner here in the United States, and I am happy to enjoy a unique bond with my patients and their families. This allows me to engage in discussions that focus not only on short-term solutions, but also on long-term health goals. I believe health is the most important factor in anyone's life and it's a privilege to help my patients achieve better health.
Preventative services including health screenings and behavioral modification are an integral part of my practice. I treat patients of all ages from a variety of cultures, and tailor treatment plans specifically to each person's unique needs while actively involving the patient in his or her own health.
I enjoy working at The Ohio State University because our goal is to provide the best possible care for all patients. Having the opportunity to work in an academic environment with easy access to different specialties, pharmacists and nurses allows me to provide my patients with the most current diagnostic methods, tests and treatments.
In my free time I enjoy relaxing with my family, reading, cooking, enjoying the outdoors and playing the santoor, an Indian musical string instrument.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
My areas of interest include both adults and pediatric age groups, especially in hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity. I am also very interested in preventive medicine.

Dr. Behrooz cares very deeply about my health and I would go to no other care provider. I am very fortunate to be under her care and even had my wife change her care provider to Dr Behrooz. She feels the same way about the true concern and excellence of care. Would recommend Dr Behrooz and OSU to all.
Listened to my personal, not medical, issues and was really compassionate, to the point of hugging me during this appointment when she could see I was upset. We have formed a cordial relationship over the years that I have been her patient and for that, I am grateful.

Dr. Behrooz is the best doctor I've ever had. She's incredibly caring, supportive, and thorough. She truly listens to your concerns and makes sure everything - from bloodwork and medications to side effects - is properly managed and explained. She's very encouraging and genuinely celebrates your progress. When I achieved my weight loss goals, she told me how proud she was and it meant so much to have that kind of positive support from my doctor. She's professional, compassionate, and fully invested in her patients' well-being. I couldn't ask for a better physician.
