Physician Assistant
Otolaryngology
Department: Otolaryngology
As a physician assistant specializing in otology, I regularly treat patients for conditions such as hearing loss, tinnitus, inner ear balance disorders, cholesteatoma and more. My patients can expect individualized care and that I will treat them like family. I previously worked with patients at the Ohio State Hand Center, and I’m excited to expand my expertise in my role with the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery.
I love my job because I’m inspired by the science behind medicine, including the ability to be part of research efforts that improve patient care at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I also appreciate the rewarding opportunity to train future providers. In my role, physician assistant students often shadow me in the clinic.
I’m a member of the American Academy of Physician Associates and the Ohio Association of Physician Assistants. When I’m not working, I love spending time with my children who keep me busy at the ice rink and ball fields. I also enjoy playing golf and pickleball.

Nikki is always personable and kind to my mother and family

Friendly and supportive
I visited OSU for a second opinion given its stellar reputation for medical care, but I felt the visit was a waste of time. Everyone seemed to be focused on the words "second opinion," and I didn't feel they looked very closely at my situation.
Nikki always gets me in to see her quickly.
She was patient, and took time and carefully examining me.
All good
Thorough kind professional. Helped me get appointment with another department at OSU Dublin.
