Provider Background
About Rachael T. Pappa, DO
I like running, practicing yoga and playing tennis for fun. I love baking cakes and cookies, traveling, trying new local restaurants and spending time with my husband, family and friends. I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. I feel so fortunate to be working in central Ohio, where I grew up and discovered my calling as a pediatrician.
