About Me
As a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist in The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine, I specialize in guiding patients through high-risk pregnancies. My role includes treating serious conditions such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and maternal cardiac disease. I also have a special interest in prenatal genetic testing and prenatal ultrasound.
My patients can rely on me to deliver compassionate, thorough care. I prioritize the patient-physician relationship and always encourage my patients to take an active role in their health care by making sure they understand their diagnosis and all treatment options. After completing my residency and fellowship programs at Ohio State, I’m thrilled to continue treating patients here. Ohio State feels like home and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
I’m also excited about the ongoing research opportunities available at Ohio State. In my career, I’ve completed several research projects on topics including pregestational diabetes and opioid use disorder. I also received a grant through the Maternal and Pediatric Precision in Therapeutics (MPRINT) Hub to investigate how antihypertensive medications can benefit patients with severe preeclampsia.
When I’m not working, I enjoy exploring Columbus with my family. We like to attend plays, concerts and festivals, and try new restaurants.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. 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 09/29/2023, Dr. Kiefer has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
