About Me

Obstetrics and gynecology is one of the most inspiring and fulfilling specialties. It’s wonderful to get to know the women I care for over time, helping them through pivotal stages in their lives. I believe in providing compassionate, personalized, evidence-based care. I enjoy taking care of women for the general gynecologic care, pregnancy, and have a special interest in polycystic ovarian syndrome.

I’ve been part of the Buckeye community since medical school and have enjoyed every step of my academic journey. Now, I instruct third-year medical students during Ob/Gyn rotations, facilitate small group sessions and participate as a mentor when assigned to students.

A major part of why I stayed at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center throughout my medical training and the start of my career is because of the people. The physicians, specialists, nurses and staff make each patient feel welcome and cared for. It’s also been beneficial to work somewhere with access to the best resources for complex patient cases.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two daughters, reading, cooking and exercise.

    Physician did a good job since she has never seen me before. I usually see another physician/NP in the practice.

    I had some poor fetal test results before coming in for my follow up. It seems that she didn't even review these before I walked in the door. She read the fetal cardiologist note that the baby was not viable for life as I was sitting on the exam table. Felt very rushed. Didn't seem like she cared. Told me she would try and help answer my questions but didn't know much about these things. It was a waste of an appointment.

    Dr Soma listened carefully to all my questions and answered them clearly and concisely. She performed my stat c-section so wonderfully that I am healing smoothly and quickly. I was lucky to have her and her residents in the OR.

    She listened to my concerns and answered my questions. Also made a plan contingent on test results.

    This was the second time that I had this procedure. The first time I had a very very bad reaction. This Dr was very kind compassionate.
