Hi! I'm Dr. Kami and I am the Medical Director for Moms2B! I am also a practicing OB/GYN in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

I believe that everyone deserves the very best care during and after their pregnancies and love helping our moms navigate this process. I am particularly passionate about the postpartum period of time when there are so many changes and challenges and am here to help you get through it! I feel so lucky to be a part of such a special time in someone's life! When I am not in session or delivering babies, I love spending time with my son playing with Legos, or baking cookies! I am so excited you are here and can't wait to work with you and your family!
