About Me
I chose a career in medicine because I am passionate about helping people achieve and maintain their health and wellness goals. As a primary care physician with the Division of General Internal Medicine in The Ohio State University College of Medicine, I provide personalized, comprehensive care focused on both acute treatment and prevention. My patients can rely on me for high-quality treatment tailored to their individual needs and values.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, my role includes helping to educate future physicians. I am an assistant clinical professor of Internal Medicine at the Ohio State College of Medicine.

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.

Care provider did not answer questions and was rather in a hurry and dismissive to what I was saying..she was not my normal doctor
No bad experiences. None. It was perfect.
Always excellent and smart and helpful and caring
Very polite and care for my well being
All good
Dr. Alwan is always caring and suggests the simplest solutions first, rather than jump to medication, and usually ends up being the best.
Always helpful and listens to my concerns.
Good
She is happy and pleasant and that makes the visit very pleasant. She looked at my chart well before she entered the room.
I generally only see her for yearly physicals. The appointment was pushed back several times for whatever reason. When I finally get in she's nice, and patient. But I find myself mixing my previous PCP who retired. His physicals felt way more thorough. My current doctor will listen to my concerns, see if my eyes will follow her finger, run a panel of blood tests, and that's about it.
Good
She was very knowledgeable, courteous, respectful and professional
Dr. Alwan is an amazing provider. She is thorough and always answers all of my questions. I have been very happy to have her as my provider.

Good
She is excellent. She listened to me and took her time to explain things and understand my concerns. I didn't feel rushed at all. Many doctors make people feel like they are in a super hurry.
