About Me
My love of educating others is an integral part of my medical career. As a specialist in general internal medicine, I’m committed to and passionate about educating patients in areas affecting their health and lifestyle. My goal is to help them feel empowered with information and individualized recommendations so they can make the best health care decisions. I have found that it’s crucial to understand what each patient values, cares about and often fears the most.
It was initially my love of questions and the pursuit of answers that drew me to medicine. However, after I began seeing patients, I found it was the human interactions and the formation of close relationships with colleagues, staff, students, residents and especially patients, that became the most meaningful and inspiring element for me.
My time at The Ohio State University has given me the opportunity to work alongside many amazing colleagues, residents and students, all who teach me a great deal on a daily basis.
When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, cooking and entertaining friends and family.

Dr. Cynthia Kreger is the best provider anyone could hope to have. She is extremely attentive, knowledgeable and never ever rushes through her appointments with me. I am certain she is the same with all of her other patients which is why I like and respect her so much. When she is running over time with another patient, she always comes in to apologize for the wait. Quite frankly, she is worth waiting for. But she is very respectful of my time and I'm sure if I said something she would get me on my way and still making sure that everything is addressed, but I've never been in a rush during or after my appointments, so that has never been an issue.
Dr. Kreger is one of a kind. She provides stellar care.

She always ask me what my concerns are and addresses them in a way that is understandable and is mindful that I prefer life-style changes as opposed to taking more medicines.
Excellent PCP
DR. CYNTHIA G. KREGER always up to date on new medical information. She is a medical professor at OSU and has a half time practice. Both myself and wife (who directed a college RN program) have had her as our primary doctor for more than 35 years. In retirement we moved 135 away from Columbus and OSU Hospital, we drive two hours plus to keep her as our go-to doctor. We were given by her - her home tel. # if we have an emergency. That is a very special consideration on her part. We just love her professional knowledge and character.
Dr Kreger is the best!
I had a very good experience
Dr. Cynthia Kreger has always been attentive, supportive and professional. I've been fortunate to have her as my physician - she is smart, kind, follow ups - I have gotten information over MY CHART to her, I don't call on phone.
Very thorough, thoughtful, courteous, offered good ideas and solutions to help with my concerns I was having. Dr. Kreger handled a sensitive situation very well and made me feel comfortable.
I cannot imagine a better care provider than Dr. Kreger; I especially appreciate her approach to care, and that she clearly communicates options and the care plan going forward; she has my complete trust.
