About Me
As an obstetrician and gynecologist, I see patients throughout the multiple stages of their reproductive life. The relationships that I build with my patients are very rewarding. Strong physician-patient relationships provide the best possible care because a patient is able to work with a doctor they know and trust.
When providing medical care, I consider each patient’s unique personal and health care needs and goals. I enjoy keeping my patients healthy and satisfied with their experience here at Ohio State. I am particularly passionate about women’s health care and I serve as an advocate for reproductive and LGBT health.
I truly enjoy working in an institution where there is strong camaraderie among all the different specialties. Here at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, patients are able to receive top notch and quality health care.
When I’m not working I like to spend my free time traveling, cooking and walking my dogs.

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 10/25/2021, Dr. Malone has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
Dr. Malone is fantastic. She is positive & upbeat, compassionate, thorough, addressed all issues in detail. She is warm & friendly very knowledgeable and spent time with me. 10/10 would recommend.
I love Dr Malone. Kara has amazing bedside manner. She takes all of my questions and concerns seriously and helps give the best advice and/or diagnosis. I have been her patient for years and wouldn't want to go to anyone else.
I felt very safe with her, between the anti-racism message on her lanyard and her sensitivity to my needs as a trans person. She was very friendly and did everything she could to set me at ease, including keeping me informed on the things she was doing/would do and why. She gave me lots of useful information about my IUD, what the risks were, and what I should expect.
Dr. Malone is wonderful! She is very kind, takes the time to ask questions, and address any concerns one may have. I absolutely love having her as my doctor!
I love the care and concern Dr. Malone always shows! She is the best doctor I've ever had! I'm so lucky to have her as my OB/GYN!
Dr. Malone was very knowledgeable and helpful
Dr. Malone is THE BEST!
Very informative and easy to talk to
Dr. Malone is an indispensable asset to OSU's OBGYN, as a trans man, seeking gynecological care can be incredibly nerve-wracking but I feel perfectly safe & at ease with Dr. Malone. She is incredibly patient and kind, and it is clear she has put the work in to learn how to best care for her trans patients. She doesn't make assumptions about my health that other doctors often do and it means the world to me that she sees me for me, and not as a stereotype. I would recommend her to any trans man in need of OBGYN.
Dr. Malone has been wonderful. I LOVE how she brings up research when one's explaining her recommendations.
