Midwife
OB/GYN
Department: OB/GYN
As a certified nurse midwife, I am focused on providing exceptional women’s health services and supporting families before, during and after the birth of their new baby. I am particularly passionate about aiding physiologic birth, family planning, campaigning for better maternity care, promoting the rights of patients and improving awareness of perinatal mood disorders. When patients see me, they can trust that I will provide compassionate care and support their individual choices.
In my role at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I also offer well-woman exams and assessments for acute and chronic gynecologic concerns. I enjoy treating all populations and have a special interest in caring for underserved communities. Prior to joining Ohio State, I practiced midwifery at a federally qualified health clinic in central Ohio, serving a culturally and socioeconomically diverse population.
I am delighted to continue my career here at Ohio State’s excellent midwifery practice. It’s a privilege to work alongside such amazing colleagues, including the wonderful, collaborative physicians who provide the most well-rounded, patient-centered care possible.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family. I enjoy attending concerts and sporting events and traveling.

This was my first time seeing her and she was wonderful! I made a note to schedule with her specifically in the future. She clearly cared about my wellbeing and looked out for things in my chart/history that may have needed attention.
Good experiences only, this is my first child so I always feel like all my questions/concerns are answered and I always feel like I am walking out with an abundance of information.
Nice
Sabrina checked if I needed a chaperone for the exam, made sure I knew what's recommended vs what's optional when asking what I wanted, reviewed my history before she even came in the room (her questions made it clear that she took thorough notes at my last visit), and checked several times in different ways to make sure I didn't have lingering questions before she left.
Sabrina was amazing. Made me feel super comfortable and was easy to talk to.
Sabrina was great. She is knowledgeable and practices evidence based care and trauma informed care. She Is personable and easy to talk to.
This is not the provider I usually see, but this is the most positive health experience I have ever had. I will continue to schedule with Dr. Givens because she was kind, knowledgeable, and thorough.
This was perhaps the most positive experience I've ever had in gynecological care. I was extremely anxious going into the appointment. The provider listened to my concerns, answered my questions, validated my feelings, and provided education as well. She was very culturally responsive. During the procedure the provider was caring, encouraging, and gentle. This was my first time getting care from this provider and I would choose her again.
I came in with a lot of questions and she took the time to answer all of them.
Focused on providing trauma informed care which made me feel more comfortable. Listened to my specific concerns and was helpful in addressing them.
Went into lots of detail and care. She remembered things about me from over a year ago and I was so impressed!
I adore her. She always asks for consent before doing anything and explains everything she is doing while she does it. Excellent bedside care.
My provider explained the procedure to me and great detail before she started. She made sure I was comfortable throughout my visit there. This was my first time having an appointment with her and I'm very grateful that I was able to see her. She is absolutely amazing.
-SUPER patient -handled my anxiety attack with kindness and waited until I was comfortable to do the Pap smear -walked through the procedure from start to finish before doing it and during which was amazing and helped me be less scared-I appreciated that I was allowed to get redressed for the part before the Pap smear while we went over my history and goals/expectations of establishing care -was SOOO respectful of my pronouns (even on MyChart I could see they were right on the summary notesthank you so much!!)-literally one of the nicest people ever and I can't thank her enough for making the experience as comfortable as a first Pap smear could be (especially for someone with dysphoria and lots of anxiety)-I appreciated walking through what to look out for when doing at home breast exams, honestly had no idea what to do or look for for those so I never do until now
Great, answered all questions.
Great
Provider was very friendly
Sabrina followed protocol and was very professional as well. This provider did an excellent job listening to my questions and explaining each step of her instructions of the examination. Explained the medication and how to use It. Again a safe and comforting environment. Very friendly provider.
Very respectful. Listened well. Asked questions and explained more when I asked for clarification. First time having Sabrina and feels like I have known her for years.
Great Experience, Friendly, Attentive To My Concerns and Needs.
