About Dr. Jennifer
Jennifer Hetrick, MD is a Family Medicine Physician in Columbus, Ohio. She provides comprehensive primary care, with an emphasis on lifestyle factors such as exercise, nutrition, and stress management in the treatment of chronic conditions. Her practice serves ages 2 and up through direct primary care, a monthly subscription payment model.
Dr. Jennifer has always tried to develop deep connections with her patients. Her passion is for the doctor-patient relationship and the opportunity to connect with people that practicing medicine provides, as well as serving and improving the health of the community. She loves the puzzle of diagnosing and treating complex cases and believes in the power of lifestyle changes like nutrition and exercise to prevent and manage chronic conditions. After many years providing primary care in a traditional setting, Dr. Jennifer knew that the best way to deliver meaningful healthcare is by focusing on the doctor patient relationship, access, and commitment to healthy lifestyles. She decided to start her own Family Medicine practice, with a focus on Lifestyle Medicine. In addition to her private practice, Dr. Hetrick teaches at The Dublin Methodist Family Medicine Residency program to encourage young doctors in the practice of lifestyle and family medicine.
Dr. Jennifer graduated from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in 1995 and completed her Family Medicine residency at The University of Missouri-Columbia, where she served as Chief Resident. She is board certified both by The American Board of Family Medicine and by The American College of Lifestyle Medicine. A native Buckeye, Dr. Jennifer lives in Worthington with her two teenage children, and dog Nugget. Dr. Jennifer values community, and enjoys participating in local festivals and famers markets. As an outreach to the community, Dr. Jennifer leads a local walking group for Walk With a Doc.
