Physician, Assistant Professor
Primary Care - Family Medicine
Department: Family Medicine
As a family physician, I believe in providing care that is patient-centered, evidence-based and focuses on primary prevention of illness as the root of health. My role allows me to build long-lasting relationships with patients and their families in which I can see changes over time to ensure my patients' needs are being met. With each case, I try to provide cost-conscious and cost-efficient patient care.
I joined the Department of Family and Community Medicine at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in 2019. Here at Ohio State, I am privileged to work with world-class physicians and educators who help make a positive impact on all my patients. Additionally, my patients have access to outstanding resources in the Ohio State network such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, psychology, pharmacy and social work.
I'm originally from the San Francisco Bay area but have lived in Columbus for seven years. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, golfing, watching Cal football, traveling and spending time with my wife Shauna (a pediatrician at Nationwide Children's Hospital) and young daughter.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
Besides providing excellent primary care to patients, I work with medical students as a volunteer at an Ohio State clinic where I provide personal instruction and supervision.

Dr. Schord is one of the best family physicians. He is smart and knowledgeable. He is an exceptionally kind gentleman
All good
Hands down, Dr. Schord is the best GP I've ever had, and I'm grateful for his attention to my care. He is knowledgeable and considerate, and he's thoughtful and deliberate in how he makes decisions about my care. He's transparent about his reasoning and rationale, which I very much appreciate. He talks about issues in ways that are easy to understand, but I never feel like he's dumbing things down for me. I know that I can ask him any question -in person or via MyChart -and I'll get an honest and prompt response. I trust him -- and he's earned that trust with every visit. He is one of OSU's very best. Please clone him if you can. We need more doctors like him in family medicine.

My initial consultation with Dr. Jeffrey Schord, my primary care physician, far surpassed my already high expectations, which were set by his impressive profile and patient reviews.Having undergone four major cancer surgeries and now being cancer-free for several years, I was profoundly impressed by Dr. Schord's immediate grasp of my extensive medical history. He demonstrated a level of knowledge that exceeded my own, asking insightful and detailed questions about prior blood tests that truly underscored his thorough preparation.It is clear that Dr. Schord is the best choice to guide my healthcare journey moving forward. His intelligence, comprehensive education, extensive experience, diligent work ethic, and genuine interest in my well-being are truly exceptional.

This was my first experience with Dr. Schord. I transferred my medical care to him from another physician (at a non-OSU practice) because Dr. Schord was highly recommended by several friends. As a gay man it was important for me to find a physician who supported LGBTQ patients. Dr. Schord is very sensitive to my needs and issues, and has a lot of experience treating people in my community.
Dr. Schord is great. He is very thoughtful and explains things really well. He has been my PCP for a few years now and he always remembers the things we talked about and is proactive in addressing any concerns I have. He is also really clear with me about any time he may or may not be the best expert to answer a question; for example "Well, here is my opinion on (fill in the blank), but that is not my area of expertise, so I would refer you to the sleep clinic for a more informed answer."
Everything fine
