About Me
As an orthopedic surgeon, I work with complex problems such as infections and reconstructive challenges in musculoskeletal care. I enjoy the opportunity for multidisciplinary care that my specialty provides. It’s rewarding to help patients to preserve their mobility and independence in situations where it might not otherwise be possible.
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center gives me unparalleled confidence that I can offer each patient the best solution to even the most complex problems. My confidence in our excellent teams and expertise here at Ohio State allows me to welcome each patient as a person with individual needs, knowing I can provide that patient with excellent care, supported by our extensive resources.
My career at Ohio State allows me to work with a wide variety of patients as well as wonderful caregivers and an extensive network of experts. I enjoy the spirit for providing excellent care that is here at Ohio State.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors either in my garden or hiking and biking with my family. I’m also interested in the arts, including both performance and creative arts.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 09/30/2022, Dr. Sullivan has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
Good.
Excellent.
I had a very good experience with Dr. Sullivan. She had performed the surgery in which a plate and pin were inserted to stabilize and heal the fracture of the right femus. I have healed - no pain, gail steady, now driving.
She was excellent informative nice. Can't say enough nice things about her. Really like her, she did a great job.
All good.
Excellent. She listens, responds, asks questions. She takes the time to understand what is happening and to come up with a good care plan.
Dr. Sullivan gave no regard for what I was there for. My left leg is infected from a bad knee infection. She was more concerned about the accreditation of OSU than she was about the infection in my knee and the swelling and the pain I am in. And told me that if I was tired of dealing with the problem that I could just have my leg amputated. Really it was a bad visit
Very helpful, very knowledgeable about my situation with my hip problem.
OSU needed more caring providers.
She followed the tone I set and was humorously blunt. Made sure I understood the steps I would need to take and walked me to the next person I needed to talk to. Although there was a quick pace to everything that took place it felt more like just being efficient instead of rushing me.
