Biography
I am a physician assistant with the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, offering both acute and routine pulmonary care. As a sleep medicine provider, I treat patients for various disorders including sleep apnea, hypersomnia, narcolepsy and restless leg syndrome. It’s deeply rewarding to see the positive impact that improved sleep quality has on my patients’ lives.
My role includes helping to treat patients for asthma, lung diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and sarcoidosis. I also work closely with interventional pulmonologists in the Lung Nodule Clinic.
I truly love this specialty and I am grateful for the opportunity to advance my career at Ohio State. It’s a privilege to work with such an excellent group of pulmonologists to provide the highest standard of patient care for people across Central Ohio and beyond.
Outside of work, I love traveling and spending time with my husband and our two dogs.

Rebecca was amazing. She knew my history and the purpose of my appointment. I felt like she listen and was understanding of my concerns.
Answered evey question, even ones that I thought were kind of dumb until I understood the answer. She didn't make me feel rushed and she truly didn't make me feel like I was just a number. When I couldn't afford my prescription, I called and she found one that I could afford in a very timely time manner
