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 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 12/20/2018, Dr. Petri-Pickstone has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
LOVE Dr. Petri!!
It was good, but when I had a health concern about aggressive period cramps she didn't ask a lot about it and cut me off two times. I just wasn't sure if she was as concerned as I was. It seemed like she assumed it was just an age thing without asking a ton of questions. Maybe I was just more concerned than I should be. She gave some good advice though and the rest of my care was pleasant, she even asked about my schooling and summer which was thoughtful.
Dr. Petri is THE BEST!! Very happy with her care!!
There aren't enough words to say how much I love her!
This was my 1st visit, to establish care. Dr. Petri-Pickstone listened very carefully to my health history a FMH.
Yes, I had to wait a little bit in the exam room but that was fine because I know Dr. Petri always answers all questions and listens to my concerns. I am sure she does this for everyone and treats us like we are her only patient that day. She is caring as well as professional and a skilled physician.
I've been a patient of Dr Petry for about 20 years.
caring, concerned
Showed concern and was straight forward. Just like I like it.
Thorough, frank...interested in long-term care, not just current problem that brought me in the office..ordered overdue and follow-up testing
