About Me
As a primary care physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and a Columbus native, I am thrilled for the opportunity to give back to my hometown community. I treat a variety of acute and chronic health conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, obesity, anxiety and depression. I also focus on healthy aging and helping patients with multiple comorbidities navigate their conditions and achieve a better quality of life.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am passionate about advancing public health through innovative research. I was selected as a Fellowship to Faculty scholar in the Division of General Internal Medicine in The Ohio State University College of Medicine, and I am working on a master’s degree. My work is focused on strategies to reduce health care disparities associated with social determinants of health affecting urban communities in central Ohio.
I am also committed to helping educate the next generation of providers. I am an assistant clinical professor of Internal Medicine at the Ohio State College of Medicine.

Consulting and Related Relationships

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 09/30/2024, Dr. Costello has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
Extremely concerned about my health and humbleness In listening to me about questioning her bout my health situation
Some medical staff actually cares about life in general, so it transitions into caring for people relatively effortlessly.
It was disconcerting to be questioned as if in an interrogation about my medication. How long have you been out. Since this date. Oh you got your prescription filed somewhere I can not see. Well no I took my medication during this trip and that was here. It makes sense to meI'm not a teenager nor a child. Generally speaking that has been my complaint with this facility. I'm either told I'm going to die. Which we all are or treated as if I'm being interrogated. I ask questions and want to be informed and included in my medical care
She's extraordinarily thorough. Her foot exam, for example, is far superior to my previous physician.
Love her
Good
Always very nice and interested in my health journey
She is so through and really takes the time to listen and care about what is going on with me health wise. She always trying to figure it out and provide the best options possible
My provider is great.
I always enjoy my visits with Dr. Costello, listens and thorough.
Great
VERY VERY CAREING
Very good. It was a good decision to see this doctor.
Dr Costello is tuned in and very thorough.
I chose her as my new PCP when my previous PCP stopped practicing because I took my adult granddaughter to her and was happy with her. She reviewed my personal and family health history and my prescriptions. She addressed all of my concerns and allowed me to state my preferences for continuing treatment. I am very pleased with her.
Good
All was well
Happy satisfaction
She was friendly & focused
No bad experiences
All good.
Meghan is fantastic. Her "bed-side" manner is calming and helpful.
I'm still impressed with her knowledge and concern.
Best primary care doctor I have ever seen
Dr Costello is exceedingly thorough and we'll attuned time well-being.
None/ ALL WAYS TREATED WELL

I met this provider for the first time and I am impressed so far!
Excellent
Wonderful, very helpful
She tended to me with high priority and respect
New patient visit. Dr. Costello was very impressive with her knowledge of my issues. She addressed everything. I was with my last PCP for over 30 years and she measured up. I have complete confidence in her now.
Dr. Costello is absolutely fantastic.
Dr Costello is very thorough, very detailed, and exudes a high level of competence.
Excellent
She also did a great job, knowledgeable and caring.
Everything good
This was my 1st appointment with Dr Costello. She is incredibly thorough and well prepared. I was impressed.
Very good
Dr. Costello was amazing. She not only was the first OSU doctor who seemed to take my mental health concerns seriously, but she also rebuilt a good chunk of my medical records with me that seemed to be absent.
Good
This was my first visit with Dr. Costello. I was looking for a new provider and spent a lot of time talking . She also gave me a checkup while I was in the office. I believe I found my new provider.
She really listened to my concerns
Wonderful. This visit was to establish a PCP as I was not satisfied with my previous PCP. Dr Costello was exactly what I was looking for and I look forward to seeing her in the future. She was professional, personable and showed great interest in my concerns as well as addressing them.
Friendly, efficient, very knowledgeable, very helpful, gave clear explanations and Instructions
Dismissed my clinical symptoms-more concerned with checking boxes. Clearly inexperienced. Nothing conversation and emails mentioned symptoms I don't have. Seems to believe that fat is an illness. Needs to check fatphobia. Just because a patient is a fat middle woman does not mean that patient is ignorant. Provider should think first before recommending experimental weight loss drugs so non-challantly to someone recovering from an eating disorder.
Very approaches with kind warm friendly smile
I just moved to Ohio am a new patient. Dr Costello was very knowledgeable and took time to listen and get to know my medical history.
She seems to know her stuff and was thorough. She doesn't appear to appreciate the level of stress/anxiety I endure daily.
Caring, understanding, professional, communicated very well, thorough, pleasant, task-focused while listening and providing excellent information, ordered tests that historically had been out-of-normal range and/or were potentially consequential to the operation, quickly provided verbal and written feedback to me and the surgery team.
There really is nothing describe besides excellent
