Kirk Carruthers - East Hospital

As a psychiatrist and addiction medicine physician, I specialize in providing treatment to those suffering from addictive disorders, particularly those in need of inpatient stabilization or withdrawal management (detox). I work to be an advocate for patients, who often have had a negative experience with healthcare providers, by delivering high-quality care that is compassionate and patient-centered. I only use evidence-based addiction treatmen t The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I enjoy being part of a multidisciplinary team and working with those in other departments on creative solutions to the problems we face. I also enjoy working with medical students, residents and fellows and dedicate a significant portion of my time to educatio n my free time, I enjoy traveling, watching TV, and spending time with family, friends and pets.
