About Me

As a physician who specializes in obstetrics and gynecology, my role in the lives of my patients is very rewarding. I love the continuity and relationships that I build with them during their reproductive years. These relationships continue to develop throughout a patient's lifetime.

My philosophy of care is to consider every patient's unique personal and healthcare needs and desires. They can vary widely depending on what each individual is seeking to achieve from each appointment with me. Every visit to my office is focused on the patient's needs and concerns at that time.

One of the things I enjoy about practicing medicine at Ohio State is the continuity of care between and among physicians. Each contributes specialized expertise, and this benefits physicians and patients alike.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling and relaxing with my family.

My time with Dr. Goist was the best. It was my first time with her and I had a troublesome problem. She was pleasant and upbeat, but very professional. I felt confident that she knew what she was doing. During her examination, she explained what she would be doing and why. As she proceeded, she informed me of each step, warning me when it might cause discomfort and apologizing when she knew it was uncomfortable, and asking me if I was okay. I told her that she is the perfect balance between personality and professionalism.

I have been Dr. Goist's patient for almost 5 years. I can't speak highly enough about her and the entire team at 2020 Kenny Rd. Dr.Goist is not only a highly skilled and thorough doctor; she is also a patient, kind, and compassionate care provider. she takes the time to listen to all concerns and questions and to ensure that her patients feel comfortable with and fully understands treatment and advice.
