About Me
I practice general obstetrics and gynecology. It’s a privilege to work with so many wonderful patients throughout their lives. I appreciate the opportunity to help them meet some of life’s greatest joys and challenges.
It's important to me to engage my patients in their care. Together, we can find health care approaches that best meet their individual needs. I enjoy accomplishing this while also maintaining best practices recommended by evidence-based medicine.
Working at Ohio State allows me to have immediate access to the latest updates, including medical practice and research. The best in primary and specialty care co-management is here.
Ohio State also allows us to maintain a connection with the bright, enthusiastic minds that are the next generation of outstanding health care providers.
When I'm not on the job, I enjoy relaxing with my family, reading and traveling.

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.

Everything was good
Dr. Strafford has the best bed side manner
Dr was very helpful and kind
She is the best gynecologist I have ever visited
I had a hard time getting Dr. Strafford to understand why I was there. Hormonal birth control was offered again when I have consistently refused that for the past 6 years.
Dr Strafford has been amazing from the beginning. She treats me with respect and addresses all my concerns without judgment. She is very knowledgeable and is just really a great provider.
Dr. Strafford is very knowledgeable and professional. She is a great doctor.
Provided helpful information about how to treat and care for area affected by ongoing problem. Very kind, apologetic for running late, very progressional. This was my first visit with her; I liked her very much.
Great care from Dr. Stafford but waited an hour in paper clothing. If there are going to be delays that big, someone should tell your patients. Leaving me sit there for that long felt disrespectful.
Excellent bedside manner
Listened to my concerns
Took all the time I needed to listen to concerns
Dr Stafford did a great job of explaining things and verifying info in my records.
She's excellent. She listened to my concerns and addressed all my questions.
De. Strafford is the best!
Listened and very empathetic
Dr. Strafford was kind and attentive. She answered all my questions and listened to me and my concerns.
She is easy to talk to and she takes time to listen.
Engaged, informed, kind and just overall great relationship with the provider for last 10 years.
All good
She's always nice and caring when I see her
Dr Stafford was very kind and professional, she fielded all of my many questions and helped reassure me.
Dr. Strafford always takes the time to listen and address my concerns. I appreciate her kindness and patience.
She is, as always, amazing. She talked me through all the test results, explained why I didn't need to be very anxious about it, and we dealt with some side issues with some referrals. I feel like I'm much calmer after my cancer scare, and that I am very much less anxious. We are taking some proactive action regarding pain.
I have to many positive experiences. My doctor really listens to me. When figuring out next appointments and remembering functions or events each other have or having really deep conversations besides medical questions she's really great.
Outstanding, caring doctor! She is the best!
Took the time to listen to me about my concerns. Scheduled a follow up appointment before I left.
Provider covered all my health concerns.
Strafford had clearly read my chart and asked lots of helpful questions, ordered the tests I wanted, and I felt listened to -
I feel like the doctor does not ask enough question about female health. Does not ask questions to investigate health or prompt responses.
Dr. Strafford is always engaging. She listens to my concern answers ?'s and explains pros/cons of options/recommendations.
I have a great deal of respect for my clinician and I would recommend her care for anybody.
Very professional & knowledgeable.
Great visit & it felt like we had plenty of time for questions.
Dr. Strafford is very kind and thorough. My health has improved, even though I am 85 yrs. old. All this is because of Dr. Strafford. She encouraged me to have surgery and helped set up a strong team to do it who were also caring and kind. She has been a blessing to me and my family.
Dr Strafford is the best provider I've ever had. She's compassionate, but very clear in providing information. She's thorough, yet very efficient. And she listens to her patients, while remembering everything about their history that could cause questions or concerns.
