About Me

As a family medicine physician, I provide a comprehensive, holistic approach to health care for the entire family. I believe a strong physician-patient relationship founded on compassion is central to providing the highest quality care. I encourage my patients to ask questions and participate in developing their individualized treatment plans. I treat a wide range of conditions, but am especially interested in cardiology, diabetes, gynecologic care, hypertension, preventative medicine and women's health.

I enjoy working at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center because of the opportunity to serve my community in the dual role of physician and educator. At Ohio State, we enjoy access to a vast network of resources and educational opportunities to ensure our patients receive quality care for generations to come.

When I'm not working, I enjoy playing tennis, traveling and spending time with my family. My husband and I have two young boys who are active in the community. Most of the time our activities revolve around our kids.

    I was impressed by how much Dr Shanker cares about my health. I was tired and looked it and she took the time to discuss why and gave encouraging advice.

    No bad experiences. Dr. Shanker makes extra effort to communicate with me because I am hearing impaired and have a cochlear implant. A very personable doctor. Professional but kind.

    Was thorough & took time to discuss blood test results in detail.

    She was gruff, distracted, didn't answer my questions, dismissed my concerns, did not seem to remember me although I have been her patient for several years. She got up and left the room abruptly without comment and never returned. Very disturbing. Not at all like her usual demeanor and my usual appointment experience.

    Dr.Shanker is and always hands down been the best doctor I've ver gone to. I've been her patient since I was 20 years old. She listens to me and takes my concerns seriously. I'm generally a very healthy person (physically) but lately I've been having troubles with my mental health due to excessive stress and life circumstances. Dr. Shanker did her best to find a solution for my ongoing anxiety and would reach out promptly when I messaged her on the patient portal. She goes above and beyond everyone.
