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.
As of 09/30/2024, Dr. Asif has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
