This is a teaching institution, but don't let that deter you from seeking health care here. Yes, the doctors are young and they will ask you if an intern can interview and participate in your check up (you can decline) but I find their youth to be refreshing and their enthusiasm to take care of you a HUGE plus. And they have great senior doctors to consult. They have seen me through a mysterious knee swelling and total hip replacement, both sides. My current doctor is Dr. Christine Prabhu, a GREAT doctor. And many of my friends now see past doctors I have had. As my best friend said "the doctor you recommended to me is the ONLY doctor to ever call me to follow up and see how I was doing."

I've been with Ohio health for several years and had a MyChart for several years and have never…read morebeen able to communicate with my doctor on it.. just recently after working a 12-hour days in a row they were calling me and I had to communicate with them and I even put in the MyChart to please make it so that I can communicate with my doctor because every time I'd go to send a message it said I wasn't able to send a message to anybody.. so I begged and begged and begged in one of the technical areas to please fix the problem so I can communicate with my doctor.. nobody replied nobody cared.. my doctor kept calling me throughout the whole day and because I was on the phone for 12 hours I couldn't communicate with her so I tried again the very next day to communicate with her on my chart I wasn't able to.. I then try to get to communicate the following day and begged and begged and begged at the technical assistant would fix this.. it still wasn't fixed.. this is what they say on their MyChart..."Communicate with your doctor, get answers to your medical questions from the comfort of your own home, access your test results.". This is a complete lie.. they put me in the worst position here I couldn't even communicate with my doctor and I begged and I begged and I begged please make it so that I can send a message to my doctor on my chart.. they completely ignored me.. nobody replied nobody even cared.. find me what I did was said take my whole MyChart down I will never use it again completely remove the whole thing I will never use your service again and now I will have to call in for everything and I will never be able to use a service that they supposedly provided for me when I needed to communicate with my doctor the most important things I couldn't even get communication to her when she kept calling and calling and calling and I couldn't get to the phone because I'm working... How dare you create a system that's supposed to streamline communication and not allow a very important communication to be given to my doctor when she's calling me.. after I begged and I begged and I begged for you to fix it.. clearly the IT department should be replaced. I even submitted requests in the MyChart for technical assistance and it was completely ignored!

After being in the ER until 2a, I was exhausted. So, I didn't hear my phone ring at 9a the next…read moreday. I missed the call from my awesomely concerned family doctor who had already reviewed my ER records despite the fact that it was a holiday and she was supposed to be relaxing. She wanted to have me come in for a follow-up exam. Since I didn't recognize the number and my voicemail box was jammed full, I didn't know I was supposed to go in. But on Thanksgiving, in the evening, when I relapsed into that toxic pain and shaking, my family called Dr. Rentel. She was there, and she had advice. She got me through the night and saw me first thing Monday. This is the most compassionate doctor. I love her to pieces. She has her patients' best interest in mind. She really cares about your health. And she's funny and easy to talk to. I have high praise for Dr. Rentel. If you're looking for a new family doctor, definitely try to get in with her. It will be tough. Since she's so amazing, she's always booked full. But if you happen to call the office when they're taking new patients, you musn't undervalue the opportunity. Jump on it! Dr. Rentel is the best.

After spending a couple weeks not feeling like I could breath so well, and getting kind of nervous…read moreabout it, I went to the ER desperate for relief in the middle of the night. They sent me away with anxiety meds. Needless to say, I didn't take them and went to see Dr. Rentel the following Monday. By chance, I was assigned to her when I was a student at OSU in the student health department. She asked me if I had allergies, to which I replied NO. She took a good look at me and said, "Yes you do." She gave me oral steroids and within 24 hours my breathing issues were totally resolved. Turns out, I have a severe grass pollen allergy that developed as an adult and procudes asthma. I'm now taking allergy shots to help build a tolerance to my allergies and symptoms. I wasn't crazy afterall!

Though in my first appointment with Dr. Toohey, I was impressed and happy to have found her, things…read morehave gone down hill it seems. I had an 8:45 AM telehealth appointment for an important prescription refill that I need to function, but Dr. Toohey was over 10 minutes late, which I didn't mind as I know she is busy. But because of her delay, I had to start driving to work. When she finally joined, and despite me saying "One second I'm pulling over right now", she immediately said we couldn't proceed because I was driving, ignored me, and abruptly ended the call within 10 seconds of joining - with 0 patience or willing to listen or care. It was very hurtful. When I reached out via message to ask what just happened and that I am pulled over now and ready, she responded by terminating me as a patient via letter. Her attitude throughout was condescending, rude, and disrespectful. This is not how healthcare professionals should treat patients, and I would not recommend her to anyone seeking any shred of empathy or care from a provider.

They also have a pharmacy upstairs that can fill any prescriptions you have. The parking lot fills up quickly so keep that in mind. The wait is usually not too bad, though I will admit there have been some occasional delays. The facade, parking lot and waiting room are a bit depressing or perhaps bland. However, this is in no way a reflection on the people and the work they do. Dr. May is well known in the area as well as respected.

This "family practice" is a clearing house for personal injury lawsuits. Their medical care was…read moresketchy, their facilities felt dirty, and their staff was ridiculously unfriendly. My presence as a patient was clearly an inconvenience to all of them, and the physician passed me off to his PA instead of actually caring for me himself. The one perk was that the girls in the physical therapy department upstairs were prompt, friendly, and helpful. That's the only reason I went back. But I would never use this facility again.

They scheduled the 1 year old visit for just before his first birthday. I thought that was fine but…read moreapparently they can't do the 1 year shots until after his first birthday. Frustrating but oh well. So now we have to schedule another appointment in 2 weeks. Show up to that appointment as scheduled and the doctor isn't there to sign the order until an HOUR after the scheduled appointment time. So they said I could wait for an hour with my toddler and baby or I could leave. I'll never be back. How do you screw up scheduling 2 appointments in a row? Also when our main pediatrician was out of town we were scheduled with another doctor that was clearly not a pediatrician and told us to stop scheduling with her. I was like, this is were the front desk scheduled us. We don't want to see you either.... Often the nurses can't get the head circumference or just skipped measuring height altogether. We stuck it out for a year but that office is not a great place. We will never be back.

Currently, they are going through some renovations, so it is kind of a mess at the moment, but once finished, I think it's going to make this place really stellar. I generally meet with a Nurse Practitioner and she is very thorough and attentive to my concerns. The lab staff and quick and efficient and I've never had any issues! There is parking in the back, so don't worry about finding a spot on High St. Since it is so centrally located, students, you can just walk or take COTA. I definitely recommend this place. They really do take good care of their patients, and people who are more regular than I am, I could tell they remembered them and kept up on conversation about their lives. It's a nice feeling when going to the 'doc.
