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.

Excellent doctor
Dr. Kreger is one of the best medical practitioners I have ever worked with! She's brilliant, caring, thoughtful, always carefully considering any concerns I share and explaining them thoroughly. She doesn't just say, 'don't worry about it', she tells me exactly why I don't need to worry about something, or if it is a legitimate concern, what I should look for, what I should do, what she will do, etc. She always has a plan, lets me know the plan, and makes sure I don't have any questions before she leaves the room. I always come with a list of questions, she always goes over all of my questions before we start, then goes over them one by one in great detail. I don't think I've ever had more confidence in a medical professional than I have with Dr. Kreger. She is always accessible via My Chart. I love that she always explains why, not just what.
