About Me
I practice in both pulmonary and critical care. I am passionate about helping my patients return to health. In those unfortunate cases where restoring a patient’s health is not possible, I do all I can to relieve their symptoms and maintain the best quality of life possible.
Focusing on the overall health and well-being of my patients is very important to me. A test or treatment is only valuable if it improves how my patient feels or improves his or her long-term quality of life. I talk to my patients to better understand their goals. My objective is to understand what they hope to accomplish from seeing me and how we can best meet those goals together.
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center fosters a great sense of teamwork among physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists and other experts. I love working with such intelligent, professional and dedicated team members.
After hours, I enjoy watching movies, attending Ohio State football games and reading.

I felt safe and at ease.
Dr. Exline cared about me and spent as much time as needed to discuss my health issues and my medicines. Also, the resident doctor, Dr. Rob, was excellent and will make a great doctor!
I really like Dr. Exline. He took his time with me, was up to speed on my recent history, asked good questions, and checked me out very thoroughly.
Dr. Exline is excellent.
All good.
Dr. Exline was great - caring provider.
Office running behind/dr. covering for another dr. - no problem - did not mind. Dr. was VERY nice. Thank you.
This was my first appt. with Dr. Exline. He was very thorough, he ordered a CT scan & I already have the results, his nurse called me. Will be going back to see Dr. Exline.
This was the 1st time that I saw Dr. Exline. Dr. Exline was subbing for another dr. that was on vacation & retiring. Dr. Exline spent extra time with me check on prescription cost (which was best. It would be great to be able to continue seeing Dr. Exline.
He offered a coupon for the prescription inhaler we could not use it, but that was very thoughtful.
