About Me
I practice in obstetrics and gynecology, with an emphasis on the treatment of diabetes during pregnancy. I help my patients manage this risk to keep them and their babies safe.
My approach to patient care places a strong emphasis on informing my patients. I help them to understand the risks and management of diabetes. I communicate with them about this and other aspects of managing their care. It's important to me to educate my patients so that we can work together to create an individualized plan of care.
When caring for my patients, I’m mindful of their family and friends who support them during their pregnancy and birth. I work together with my patients and their family to create positive, family-centric care plans.
This work is very rewarding, including the many benefits of being at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. We have great clinical teams here. There are many excellent professionals all working together to keep our patients healthy and safe.

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.

My care provider makes every visit a positive experience!
My care provider is super knowledgeable and confident in all suggestions and recommendations that he makes.
Dr. Thung is an A + doctor that I completely trust to care for my diabetes during pregnancy.
He was funny, knowledgeable, comforting, and answered my questions honestly, and positively.
He took time to answer my questions and looked @ me while speaking instead of just looking @ the records screen.
Dr. Thung is very knowledgeable and personable, and does a great job making sure we cover everything and answer all of my questions. I know I'm in good hands with Dr. Thung!
Dr. Thung is truly the best doctor I have ever had! He became an advocate for my health - answering all questions and supporting all need for both me and my baby. I would highly recommend him to any high-risk pregnancy, and already have!
Dr. Thung was an excellent listener with a calm and relatable bedside manner. He acted like a human being with a ton of compassion.
Very thorough and spent a lot of time in the room with me.
My first time seeing this provider an he was very joyful and nice. You can tell he loves his work.
