Biography

As a primary care physician, I love what I do. This quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, 'Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience,' best describes how I keep pushing through hard times because I strive to be my best every day.

I enjoy developing a long-lasting doctor-patient relationship with each of my patients. Throughout their medical journey, I lend a listening ear, help them manage complex medical care and give helpful advice.

At Ohio State Wexner Medical Center, I’m lead physician for the Ohio State Transition of Care COVID-19 Clinic as well as an assistant professor for the Division of Internal Medicine. Apart from patient care, I spend much time teaching medical students and residents because passing knowledge on to future generations is an important aspect of working in an academic medical center.

In my spare time, I love reading, traveling and exploring various parts of the world, cooking new cuisine and spending time with my lovely family.

    Dr. Bhat is always tentative to my needs and promptly responds to issues with my health!

  • Reviewed on Jan 31, 2026

    Dr. Bhat is outstanding. I feel very fortunate to have her as my PCP. She is aways friendly and professional. She listens and seems very concerned and interested in what I am feeling, thinking and my reason(s) for the visit. I really feel that she is working with me - that I can ask for what I need and (assuming it is reasonable) she will assist.

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.
