Dr. Kami Dixon, MD

Medical Director, Moms2B

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 love working with moms during their pregnancy and after they have their babies. 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!

  • Dietitian and Lactation Counselor
    Hi moms! I’m Lydia. I grew up in Tennessee, which is a lot warmer than Ohio. I don’t like winters here, but summer is my favorite season. I love to spend time with my husband, my daughter and friends (outdoors, if possible — when it’s warm!). I’m a good secret-keeper and a friend once described me as an incredibly genuine person. My favorite foods are pizza and tacos, and I usually eat those once a week.

Fun fact: I actually started off as a Public Health intern during my senior year at OSU, where I specialized in sociology. My passion is understanding ways to help people in the community feel more connected and supported to improve their lives – which is exactly what I do in my role as a patient navigator!

    I grew up out West, but have lived much of my life in Columbus. My husband and I have four children, two girls and two boys, who are now adults. Our youngest was born while we lived in Brazil for 6 years. I love getting time with my family, reading, art, a variety of music, nature and having my little house full of people.
