Physician, Professor
Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology, Cardiovascular Disease
Department: Internal Medicine
I am a board-certified cardiologist specializing in advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I also have expert knowledge of cardiovascular genetics and provide cardiovascular genetics evaluations at OSUWMC.
I chose a career in medicine to contribute to the health of the patients I serve. My patients can rely on me for high-quality, compassionate care and honest communication in every encounter. I strive to provide individualized care to help patients achieve their goals.
In my cardiovascular genetics’ clinic, I work with cardiovascular genetic counselors, and I greatly enjoy working on a multidisciplinary team that places the patient and their needs at the center.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am passionate about advancing cardiovascular care through education and mentorship. I serve as a professor of Internal Medicine in The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

Very impressed with the amount of time and attention Dr. Hershberger gives with each visit. He obviously spends time reviewing my medical information and chart prior to coming in. I never have felt rushed or dismissed by my interactions with him or his staff.
Seemed to be very knowledgeable but silent pauses seemed long.
The doctor took time to study my history prior to my visit. He was attentive to my comments and questions and then explained things in a way that was easy to understand. He gave my husband and me a chance to ask questions before he stood to leave.
