About Me
A fascination with science led me to a career in medicine, but it was an appreciation for people that inspired me to become a primary care physician. I now serve as the lead physician for Outpatient Care New Albany General Internal Medicine.
It’s a privilege to be able to build relationships with my patients and to support them through their health journeys. I’m passionate about educating my patients about all of their individualized treatment options and empowering them to make healthy choices in their lives. In addition to primary and preventive care, I also specialize in chronic disease management, preoperative medicine and women’s health.
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is a very special place to work because there are abundant opportunities to continue to learn and grow as physicians. I love working with teams of highly motivated people who challenge me to deliver the best care possible every day.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy traveling and exploring new places. I grew up in Japan and also like to read Japanese novels.

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 10/25/2021, Dr. Li has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
No bad experiences at her office.
It was our first meeting. She listened, asked questions, provided multiple options for treatment, was very proactive and made me feel that all my concerns were valid.
She was very good at referring me for problems I have to the appropriate specialists.
Dr. Li listens & so far has been very helpful with my overall medical care.
Very good
Dr Li and the resident working with her we're both great.
This was my first visit with a new Dr. She spent a lot of time asking questions about my history and life. Probably more time during this one visit than my last provider spent with me in two years (including two physicals). That's what I was looking for. Felt like I was getting a treatment plan based on what was actually happening with me and not just on a perusal of my file. Notes and review of the visit (both while I was there and through MyChart) were also great and will be helpful.
Loved her! Very kind, attentive, knowledgeable respectful!
Dr. Li was extremely respectful, listened and heard my concerns. She took the time to get to know me. She has outstanding bedside manner and I feel lucky to have her as my primary care physician.
Sara was warm and made me feel at ease. She was very knowledgable in responding to my questions and I believe showed good and thoughtful judgment in her recommendations. This was our first visit but it gave me confidence to come to her with my concerns and trust her advice in the future.
Doctor Li was very thorough, explained everything, answered my questions, and has put me on a good course of care.
Dr. Li listened to my concerns, explained everything sufficiently. I did not feel rushed, and the messages through MyChart was very helpful.
Dr. Li helped me understand what was going on with my hip.
I am new to the Columbus area and very happy I chose this provider.
Very good, well pleased with entire visit.
This was my initial visit. She was very thorough and offered very helpful suggestions for my concerns.
She was very attentive and took the time to listen to all of my concerns and answer any questions that I had. She spent more time with me than previous doctors and didn't make me feel like she had to hurry up and get to the next appointment.
I visited Dr. Li's office as a follow up to an ER visit earlier in the week because my primary care physician did not have availability in his schedule. Dr. Li was an excellent care provider. She took the time to listen to my situation and fully understand my symptoms and concerns. I have no doubt that Dr. Li fully contemplated my symptoms and has ordered the necessary tests to try to discover the underlying cause. I would highly recommend Dr. Li to anyone looking for a PCP.
Listened to what I had to say about my health, very knowledgeable and friendly
This was a visit to establish a primary Dr. Dr Li was fantastic-she spent an hour with me, had ordered blood work for me prior to my visit, and had sent mental and anxiety questionnaires to me prior to the visit as well.
Patient and attentive
