About Me
All women deserve access to dedicated specialists who will listen to their concerns and treat their symptoms seriously. I became a gynecologic surgeon because I’m passionate about offering high quality, evidence-based surgical solutions tailored to each individual's unique needs and values. I’m committed to providing my patients with the best care possible and helping them to understand all of the health care options available.
Whenever possible, I provide my patients with minimally invasive options that will shorten recovery times and decrease postoperative pain. I perform surgeries using robotics and advanced laparoscopy and offer single-incision and vaginal surgery when appropriate. I aim to stay at the forefront of surgical innovation and can provide vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (Vnotes) and transcervical radiofrequency ablation for fibroids, using advanced technology known as Sonata®.
The most common conditions I treat include endometriosis, fibroids, heavy or painful periods, ovarian cysts and pelvic pain. My research is focused on ways to optimally treat these conditions and how to improve quality of life.
My fellowship in advanced gynecologic surgery and pelvic pain at the Mayo Clinic inspired me to remain in academic medicine. I love serving as a mentor to medical students and resident physicians. Because of the rich expertise of my colleagues and the diverse resources available to us, I believe The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is able to provide better and more complete care to patients.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family and playing with my dog. I also enjoy cooking, reading and exploring Columbus.

As of 09/29/2023, Dr. Misal has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
She was an absolute joy. She took me seriously and treated me with absolute care and listened to all of my concerns, respected me, and made everything comfortable.
All good
My provider was very nice and really gave me the best care possible and explained things very well.
Best one I have ever had!!
Took her time, listened thoughtfully and answered my questions. Made sure I understood information and did not rush appointment
The care provider was alright she did not seem genuine although she was acting in a way which conveyed genuinely. She asked unnecessary questions and I do not believe the student assistant and provider could have done better when addressing me and my needs.
Dr. Misal is an amazing doctor and I have already recommended her to others with similar issues. She really takes the time to listen to what is going on and explain options.
Great
A very good doctor that I have enjoyed appointments with.
She is excellent!! You are so blessed to have her as one of the doctors on your team !!!Wonderful at her job very caring.!!! I was so impressed!! Definitely a five star Dr.!!!
I love how nice friendly and upfront with me about all the risk no matter how scary the surgrey is
I had the best experience with this provider. She was kind and considerate.
She explained the procedure carefully, helped put me at ease during the procedure, was kind and did what she could to make me comfortable.
Good listener
She explained everything clearly so I could understand and was very kind.
Took the time to listen to me and explained everything thoroughly.
She was amazing
Dr. Missal took time to listen to my concerns and gave me so many options for my issues. I really appreciated the care I received from her. I feel like my concerns were finally heard and she gave me options on things to try to help me feel better rather than just giving me the "I don't know how to help you" and sending me somewhere else like I have experienced in the past.
Dr. Misal is incredible and super kind!!!
Dr. Misal is excellent. Thank you!

Friendly, caring, spoke to me so I could understand, thorough
Good I would be coming back if I need too
I travel 3 hours one way to Columbus for my health care and I have ZERO regrets. Your facilities, medical care providers, and all who provide any care to patients have made this very difficult experience so much easier. They really are blessings to so many.
Dr. Misal is taking over from my previous gyno; she is familiar with my condition & gave solid advice for some symptoms
Dr. Misal was up front about my options, providing both pros & cons, offering her professional opinion and then her personal opinion when asked. Her demeanor during my visit put me at ease and instilled confidence in my decision.
Dr. Misal was very kind, gentle and caring! A good listener.
Dr. Misal is probably the best doctor I've ever had. She listens to me, and she actually wants to hear what I have to say. The appointment is a conversation rather than just her at the computer typing stuff not really listening. She also is just very personable and made me feel comfortable even though we were talking about surgery.
Very professional and experienced.
She was very knowledgeable, listened to my concerns, and answered all questions
10/10 went way above & beyond. She was so knowledgeable.
