About Me
As a family medicine physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in disease management, preventive medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, contraception education and women’s health. I treat patients with a myriad of conditions including anxiety, depression, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis and osteoarthritis. I also provide joint injections, mole removal, pap smears and endometrial biopsies, along with other minor procedures.
I have always wanted to work in family medicine and am happy to have found my calling in life. I love my job and my patients; it’s a privilege to take care of patients and their families. I enjoy taking care of the entire patient, not just treating symptoms, and providing as much preventative care as possible. I’m very interested in how family dynamics can affect a person’s health.
My favorite part about working at Ohio State is the wealth of resources available, including a wide range of specialists for my patients. Additionally, The Department of Family and Community Medicine provides great support for my professional goals. I also enjoy helping medical students throughout the process of medical school, especially nontraditional students.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and cooking.

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 11/01/2020, Dr. Petri-Pickstone has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
Love Dr. <span class='highlight hasPHI'>Petri.</span> She has been my primary for over 10 years. I drive 45 to 1 hr. to see her.

I am very happy w/Dr. Petri-Pickstone.
Dr <span class='highlight hasPHI'>Petri</span> is wonderful.
Personal and caring interest from doctors and staff. Called us when Covid started to check up on us.
Nothing bad.
My care provider Dr. <span class='highlight hasPHI'>Petri</span> was excellent. Best doctor I ever had. I have recommended people to her.
Listened to my concerns, and proceeded to examine my feet. The doctor discovered that I also had a fungus, and prescribed medication for it.
I love Dr. <span class='highlight hasPHI'>Petri.</span> She's been my doctor for over 20 years. I've moved twice since then and I drive the extra <span class='highlight hasPHI'>distance</span> just so I can maintain her as my doctor. She always listens and truly cares about her patients.
