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.

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 11/21/2019, Dr. Shanker has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
Dr. Shanker is a very caring & competent professional & I appreciate all that she does for me. She has accommodated my every concern.
Friendly, efficient, caring, spent extra time with me
Friendly, knowledgeable, good listener.
Dr. Shanker is a wonderful doctor. She is always kind and courteous. I can tell she is an "active listener" and feel confident that she is understanding my symptoms. She asks clarifying questions when needed and is more thorough and helpful than any other PCP I have had.
Excellent
I think Dr Kirti Shanker is so polite and professional that although when I have to see her I may be ill but I never regret needing to be looked at. I trust her opinion and she even changed my mind and convinced me to get the flu shot with all of my traveling I have been doing.
Very personal, and puts me at ease. Never feels rushed and always helpful. She's the best
Dr. Shanker was also very friendly & personable & listened to my concerns and ORDERED tests accordingly. She seemed sincere & concerned. I have no complaints.
Dr. Shanker is a good listener and seems genuinely interested in my health!
My normal dr. here is AMAZING but she was terrible and will never see her again.
