I served as a family physician in a rural setting for 23 years before joining The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. At Ohio State, I practice family medicine and teach medical students, residents and fellows.
As a family physician, my role is to assess patients and provide information to patients and their family members. Together, we create a plan for care.
Elder issues are particularly interesting and gratifying to me. That’s because I share in the challenges and family dynamics with this vulnerable population. I especially enjoy working with geriatric patients at a nursing home and other long-term care settings.
I find the most satisfaction during my day when a patient or family member reports that we have successfully improved their situation or decreased their stress.

More about my work
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 03/25/2016, Dr. Mack has reported no financial relationships with medical device, research and/or drug companies.
