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.

Dr. Shanker is "meh" - not great, not horrible. Mediocre. I'm a patient of hers until I can find someone else. That said, she did take my concerns seriously and acted appropriately for my care. Sometimes I feel like she doesn't listen.

My care provider always provide me with the absolute BEST experience regarding my care. My care provider explains things where I can understand the care that I will receive, and also makes sure to answer every question or discuss my concerns with me. Dr. Kirti Shanker, provides an Outstanding quality of care each and every time I have an officec visit. Dr. Shanker has also called to check on me after surgery, and I will stay with Dr. Shanker no matter what OSU office she provides care from. On this particular day I walked into the office with so many questions, and feeling down--- When I walked out I had a whole different outlook on my situation and I owe many thanks to my favorite Dr. Kirti Shanker.
