About Me
I chose a career in medicine to channel my empathy and kindness to others when they need it most. As a primary care physician, I help each patient achieve their health and wellness goals. I treat acute illnesses and injuries, manage chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, and address mental health concerns.
Being a primary care provider allows me to become a part of my patients' families. My career has taught me that listening to my patients is the most important thing. I always work directly with them to come up with a plan that best fits their specific needs and values.
My patients know that I genuinely care about their health, and I will ensure their needs are met. I also appreciate and love the opportunity to meet new people from various backgrounds and learn about their cultures.
My role includes helping to ensure elevated standards are consistently met as a quality improvement leader at Ohio State Outpatient Care East. I have been honored to receive an Extra Mile Award for outstanding medical contributions.
I have a passion for teaching and serve as a clinical assistant professor of Internal Medicine at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. I enjoy working with medical students and residents because this opportunity to help educate future doctors also lets me be a lifelong learner. I also work closely with residents on quality improvement projects to bridge health care gaps.
I am a member of the American College of Physicians and the Society of General Internal Medicine, and I am involved with several other professional organizations.
When I am not working, I love spending time with my husband, daughter, niece and nephews. I enjoy traveling, eating my mother's home-cooked meals and watching travel vlogs.

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.

Always took time to really understand my needs. I could not have asked for a better doctor.
My care provider is awesome I'm very comfortable with her.i would like her to continue being my primary care Dr.
All was excellent

My care provider is excellent. She listens to my concerns and comes up with a solution. She's direct and extremely knowledgeable on my health issues.
Everything was perfect!
Only good - she is very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I trust her judgment implicitly.

Dr Jamila Assif is the best doctor I have ever had in my life. She is very knowledgeable and humble to listen all my concerns and worries. All my challenges addressed throughout the test she ordered. God saved my life, when I made her my care provider. May God bless her abundantly.
Really great physician who provides a listening ear. Thank you for being empathetic and supportive.
She's very detail oriented and covers everything I needed to talk about. She seems like she actually cares about her patients and their needs.
Professional kind
Informative/respectful/concerned/excellent!!
Dr. Asif is the BEST for me because she knows her stuff, she listens and explains in terms I can understand. She is helpful, knowledgeable, and compassionate! Please keep her on staff because I don't want to change to another doctor. It is rare to get a doctor who is the complete package and that's what I get from Dr. Asif.
Very Good
All good!
No Complaints, NONE ..
Dr Asif is great! Really appreciate her thoroughness. Convinced my wife to use her as her PCP too.
She is wonderful. She asks questions (always thoughtful and trying to ensure she has all the info she needs) and when I have questions, she provides thorough answers in terms that are readily understanable. She is also very nice!
They was very respectful to me and listen.
Dr. Asif always listens to me and together we always come up with a treatment plan that suits my needs.
She is amazing snd actually listens will be seeing her for a long time
Good
Good
Excellent care provider.
I really do like my doctor. She made me feel like we had known each other for awhile
She listened to me, was concerned about my health, very nice
Good
I was sick with a sinus infection at the time of my visit, blew my nose in the room with the provider at least 5 times and this was not addressed. We "ran over" the time the provider had with me even though not all my issues were addressed, she did stay in the room with me, only because her next patient wasn't arrived, she was definitely inconvenienced by this. Didn't make me feel great. This was my initial appointment with this provider, I will not be seeing her again. I am scheduled for a 1 year follow up but I will be changing the MD.
I feel as though she is uncomfortable with working with me and I would only want to see her for just yearly check ups she doesn't seem confident in what we spoke about with my medication
Doctor was very personable.
Very detailed and complete in her work
Very good
Very good
Only good - I found that Dr. Asif listened very carefully to my questions and descriptions of what I was experiencing. She also explained clearly (and reformulated if I seemed not to understand) the source and how to manage it. The appointment was also a check-up. I was very impressed with how much time Dr. Asif spent with me - I never had the impression she was hurrying through anything. That was nice (and very professional).
I can only say did there was nothing bad. She was very prompt, very detailed, very understanding and make sure to answer all my questions
Excellent
My care provider is clearly new and needs some practice with listening instead of talking. She was nice but not an active listener. She clearly had a checklist of things she needed to ask so the appointment could be over. It came out a little awkward instead of warm and inviting. She addressed all my concerns.
I received a professional treatment
Everything was fine She was decent and did listen to all my concerns and did send referrals for further treatment
