Biography
As an obstetrician and gynecologist, I believe in meeting patients where they are to provide evidence-based, patient-centered care. My patients can trust me to be their advocate and I bring compassion, honesty, respect and confidentiality to every encounter.
I provide well-person exams, treat patients during pregnancy and offer contraceptive care. I perform minimally invasive gynecological surgical procedures and hysterectomies and treat patients for conditions such as endometriosis and sexual dysfunction.
My clinical areas of specialty include LGBTQ+ care. I provide general gynecologic care for gender-diverse patients and hormone replacement therapies for gender affirmation. My research interests include post-operative outcomes for gender-affirming hysterectomy.
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, and especially the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, is like a family. The pursuit of excellence in patient care is inspiring, and I appreciate the support I’ve received both personally and professionally from my colleagues. There is no better place to work. I’m also proud to help train medical students and resident physicians in my role as an assistant professor.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my partner, Kenneth, and our hairless cats. I also enjoy political activism and volunteering, conservation, aquariums, cocktails, vacationing, cooking, and spending time with friends and family.

Dr Turner was great! Very clear about what was happening, answered all my questions, and I felt very comfortable. I appreciate that he knows a lot about transgender issues with gynecology
Felt at ease from the first moment
Dr turner is a wonderful doctor. Growth areas would be around timeliness, documentation follow up (orders, Rx, note completion delaying referrals)
My provider was late for my appointment, but was very thorough and made sure all my concerns and questions were addressed before we wrapped up the appointment.
Every encounter with my provider is exceptional.
Dr. Turner is wonderful-super fast and knowledgeable, but always willing to talk about anything and answer my questions. He also gives me choices, which is amazing-it's actually my main criteria when selecting a provider. Dr. Turner always does his absolute best to create choices for me and I really appreciate this.
Dr Turner is always super positive, warm and makes sure we feel heard and supported as patients. He makes sure to explain things in details so we can make the most informed decisions

Kale was literally the best.
Dr. Kale Turner is an excellent provider. He is knowledgeable and up to date with his medical knowledge. He always explains what he is doing and why he is doing it. He is appropriately empathetic while maintaining a professional bedside manner. I sincerely wish that more providers were to his level.
He very thoroughly explained my options for getting an IUD, the pros/cons, side effects, etc. He also made sure to consistently check in with me and explain what he was doing for each part of the procedures he performed (IUD insertion, pap smear, breast exam).
Very professional and caring
The doctor is very attentive to my concerns. He explains all the reasons for treatment options in a clear and understandable fashion.
Dr Turner is magical and the bar that all physicians should aim for! I've never felt so seen and heard by a doctor and I'm 45yrs old.
