Biography
I enjoy my career as a women’s health nurse practitioner because I’m passionate about caring for women throughout the life span, from adolescence through menopause. In my role at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I provide gynecologic care and well-woman visits. I see patients for family planning and contraception, including long-acting reversible methods like IUDs, and I support women through pregnancy and breastfeeding. I also help train future providers by serving as a preceptor for women’s health nurse practitioner students.
When patients come to see me, they can trust that I will meet them where they are and create an individualized plan of care that best suits their needs and values. I take pride in listening to patients and addressing their needs in a collaborative approach. I have been honored to be rated in the top 10% of physicians in the nation for patient satisfaction.
Before becoming an advanced practice provider, I originally found my passion in caring for women while working as a labor and delivery nurse at Ohio State. I had the privilege of providing care to a diverse population of women and their families during a very special time of their lives.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my husband, our two boys and our goldendoodle. We enjoy outdoor adventures, being active, traveling, and checking out new restaurants that Columbus has to offer. We love sports and were born Buckeyes, but also love supporting our alma mater – UC Bearcats!

Lovely demeanor, very knowledgeable. Easy to chat with
Megan always takes the time to listen & explain things. She doesn't seem to be in a hurry and is still always on time. She does not judge when recommendations are not followed and is patient with allowing me time to make decisions.
I LOVE Dr Smith! Asks thoughtful questions, we've only met twice and she remembered our previous conversation.
I always feel like Megan listens well, she has a friendly and gentle demeanor that puts me at ease. She also explains things in ways that I can understand.

My NP had a student with her and they were both so kind.
She was great! I get uncomfortable At these appointments and she made me feel very safe and cared for
Megan always takes time to explain everything and give options for treatment. Even though I'm a nurse, this is not my area of specialty, and she always explains things in an easy way to understand. I appreciate her taking time to holistically care for me and definitely trust her with my care.
Megan is wonderful.
