Dr. Heather Elaine Columber, DO

Best doctor I've ever been to

She gives personal attention to my wife and I. I like the feeling that my Dr. Cares about as people. Excellent health care professional.

I love her. She is very compassionate and caring.

I am beyond words, excited about her! A God - send for sure

Dr. Columber has been the best family physician that I have ever found. She is more than a physician. She becomes your friend. Her care for her patients and love for her job is obvious. Thank you, Dr. Columber, for giving so much to your patients.

Dr. Columber has been the most caring and friendly doctor our family has ever had. Her passion for medicine is obvious. She provides a welcoming atmosphere for patients and gives you all of her attention while you are there. We have referred many friends and family to her because we trust her so much. Dr. Columber is amazing with our children. They love seeing her.

Dr. Columber treated my High Blood Pressure, it was never in the normal range under her care as it is now. She may have made an accurate diagnosis and had me on the right meds, but there were more effective ones, that have achieved better results. she did not explain herself at times. for example she would take my head in her hands and look at something, ( all I can think of is my teeth) she never explained. And when the office moved across the street, she did not seem to make the move in a professional way, her treatment after the move seemed immature. I still get a sensation that she somehow was using me in some way, as a patient. Often times I felt that there were things that were not being said to me. Being older than her does make a difference. I am a little more skeptical now about medical professionals who are not as old or older than myself. Still wondering why I waited so long to seek a second opinion, and actually a bit disgusted about the care I received.

Dr. Columber has been a blessing. She is extremely caring and always takes the extra time needed to focus on my concerns. I have recommeded my family and friends to her. I am glad to have found her for my family doctor.

There are older, wiser, and more caring doctors in the Columbus area... Columbus ...Area... Out of all the Doctors in Columbus...choosing just one...can be so myopic... I did not get the results with Dr. Columber that I expected... there are doctors who do not need a computer in the examination room. For my vitals or profile I do not think DO Columber was a good choice, it was maybe a hasty one...I am not a woman or a little boy and at no time did DO Columber even seem interested in my thoughts or in my Work Health...nor did her young staff... the wait time in the lobby was only 5 minutes...but if you count the wait time on the exam table ...as wait time...it can be extended to half an hour... I, as a patient felt more like an animal in the zoo...rather than a patient..to be treated... Older may be wiser .

Dr. Columber is the type of doctor that takes the time to get to know you and then actually remembers the details about your life without having to ask the same questions the next time she sees you. She cares not only about your physical health, but also your mental health as well. Dr. Columber takes care of your medical needs and works to develop a trusted friendship while doing so. It makes going to the doctor a lot easier. She has a huge heart. I have recommended not only my family and friends, but also my co-workers.

Doctor Columbur was very nice but a little too blunt. She seemed more interested in telling me what was wrong and why and less interested in helping fix what was wrong. Not sure she is the best doctor for people with mental handicaps.

Dr. Columber is the most caring doctor I have found. She provides excellent care and explains your diagnosis and treatment plan in detail. She spends time with her patients and gives her full attention to them. Dr. Columber is the kind of doctor that we all hope to find to provide our family care. She is personable and friendly and takes the extra time with each patient. Dr. Columber is absolutely wonderful.

Doctor Columber Spends Quality time with her patients. She does have limitations, as any doctor has. I personally have not experienced or witnessed Doctor Columber in a crisis situation. Again I am pleased to have been her patient. She is a Primary Care Physician which is a much higher quality than say an entry level Army Medic.. Its important to understand that in some situations there is no need for pressure. I am sorry that I left her care. I hope that simply moving out of Hilliard is not the reason for my grief . I myself served in the Ohio Militia for 6 years, Which the Doctor could not have known. Thank You I have ..Drawn ..my own inspiration from being a patient. Overall a positive experience.

Doctor Columber accurately diagnosed my needs for blood pressure medication and adjusted the medication over time. Now my blood pressure and cholesterol are better. While that is gratifying, there are some things that were not explained. Like why she took my head in her hands and inspected my throat area, no reason was given for this part of the exam. And Doctor Columber would enter the exam room where I had waited on the exam table, and then she would open her computer and sit looking at that for 10 minutes, and she made no kind of acknowledgement that I was even in the exam room. Her phlebotomist had already obtained my vitals. During none of my visits do I recall the doctor asking questions like "how are you feeling today?" or even questions related to my person. Like "How much education do you have?". After time I thought this to be a very cold approach to making me feel welcome as a patient. And it made me feel more like a body with no head attached. There seemed to be little Rapport with the doctor other than her diagnosis. And that is simply why I sought other medical care. I also do not feel that there is a good reason for a Doctor to be barefooted in the medical clinic. I prefer a Doctor to wear shoes.

While she diagnosed my needs accuratel, she did not seem to know where I could get my prescriptions filled for free. And in retrospect she seems to not be an effective communicator. Not once did she inquire about my level of education or the work I perform with my employer. Instead she wanted to equate me with her assistant. I would think that her most satisfied patients are women. I would not want Doctor Columber to perform a surgical procedure on me. Thank God I left...Her experience and her ability to delgate things may be better suited to a smaller town in my view.

Doctor Columber seemed genuinely caring the first year that I was her patient.. I felt that her staff was Okay at tthat time. However upon Ohio healths relocation to a new office across the street, my opininon has totally changed.. I don't think Dr. Columber ever once asked about my education or what I did for a living, though she did prescribe medication that has lowered my blood pressure, there are times"in reflection" that she seemed a bit absent minded. She also seemed to care more for her staff than she did me her patient.. I have sought a new doctor with and other hospital system and I am very much annoyed to have thoughts back to Rome Hilliard Ohio Health... The move across the street has exposed an unprofessional side that i don't want a part of. I have family who worked in the past in hospitals and I don't think Dr. Columber has the age or experience to properly be my doctor. Sorry lady...No thanks..

I think Doctor Columber is a fine Doctor. She is about 10 years younger than myself. As far as my physical treatment is concerned everything is fine. The ease of becoming a patient with Ohio Health and Doctor Columber was most impressive, with other MED Centers such as OSU the wait list was 3 months which was too long. I find it intersting that parts of my family name are pronounced similar to the Name Columber. I feel Dotor Columber could treat me for any general illness. I have seen a male doctor 10 years into my past, who would also perform Surgery, and I am unsure of Doctor Columber's skills in that area. I doesn't worry me at this time, I am very happy to have Heather Columber as my Doctor.

I trust Dr. Columber with my health. Some of the things regarding my overall health over my life don't get addressed, like the fact that I had "Shingles when I was 13 years old, and that a person can only have Shingles once in their life. I am an organ donor, because I am not afraid to be one. It took some time for me to realize that I should not be afraid, I can only imagine the people the concerns of the people needing an organ. Overall I am comfortable with Dr. Columber.
