Welcome to Westar OB/GYN!
Our practice was built around a foundation of patient centered, compassionate care under the unwavering dedication of Dr. Alan Murnane for over two decades.
Our providers at Westar OB/GYN take time to get to know you and your family as they carefully assess your health and wellness needs for a long and healthy life span.

We treat our patients and attend labor and delivery patients at Mt. Carmel St. Ann's Hospital, a level III perinatal center. The NICU is fully staffed and managed by Nationwide Children's Hospital should the need arise for advanced care for your child.
We also treat patients on an outpatient basis at the Ohio Health/SCA Dublin Surgery Center.
