About Me
I joined Ohio State after working in Army Medicine, managing a broad spectrum of patients with foot and ankle disorders. From experience in austere environments, I honed my skills in out of the box solutions for both simple and complex challenges. I enjoyed working with a team of subspecialists to get our soldiers back to duty as quickly as possible. At Ohio State, we have a strikingly similar team and opportunity to expand medical solutions. We have a phenomenal group of physicians working to get individuals back to the activities they enjoy and I also continue to pursue my research in microfracture, cartilage restoration for the talus and ankle arthritis.
I provide care for a variety of foot and ankle conditions in my clinical practice, ranging from sports injuries to trauma to deformities, reconstruction and arthritis. My approach is to get to know the patient, how their problem affects their life and what their overall goals are. I believe patients should know all of the options that are available to them and to create a treatment plan together to get them back to the the level that they want to be.

He's. Good dr
Great
All good. Very thorough.
He was very professional.
Dr. Groth was not irritated that talking about bones & cartilage makes me squeamish. He was also patient with my rather vain questions about cute shoes & heels.
Doctor was clear on my ankle pain and the problem.
Dr. Groth answered my concerns about why I was seeing him.
Dr. Groth was very understanding and approached everything in a problem-solving manner - he is an excellent clinician and surgeon
It was all great
I was not pleased with my provider. I feel like the provider did not understand my present condition and mri results, and brushed them off as a chronic condition
It was a good experience
I liked provider I just need a little more explanation - Of procedure to replace ankle.
Dr Groth has always been very attentive and responsive to my questions and concerns.
Dr. Groth was rushed in out initial visit (and I was in a bit of shock) so I left feeling like I didn't get all my questions answered. But Dr. Groth was very helpful & willing to talk to me on the phone multiple times the following week to address my concerns.
He was very efficient in providing a solution to my ankle problem.
Nothing specific; everyone courteous.
He was terrific. He showed concern, care and was extremely knowledgeable. He communicated well and helped me understand my condition.
All good
Very good. Easy to talk to. Resident & med student very capable. Good team. 1st time meeting them and happy with experience.
Dr. Groth, although very young, seemed knowledgeable & confident. He conducted a thorough exam of my foot and chief complaint and explained things very well. I would return to this doctor if I need further treatment.
Very satisfied.
My provider was very helpful and we decided that I can wait 2 years for next visit as everything is stable.
The doctor took the time to explain things carefully. This was a pre-order visit so surgery procedure was carefully explained.
Dr. GROTH listened. He knows I have had the same surgery in the past. Gave me all the info I needed.
Positive
The care provider did a great job.
Ordered x-ray - negative. Gave me a wrapping for my foot.
Dr. Groth is calm and collected and always had answers immediately showing how much he knows about his field.
Knowledgeable, personable, expresses caring.
He answered my questions.
The doctor was very knowledgeable about my issue
I think if Dr. Grothe conveyed his information with greater confidence that it would make the patient feel better cared for. He's very kind though.
Still have pain from foot at times where the surgery was done. Doctor said it could take a year for the pain to go away. He didn't have me get up and walk on foot at last appt. to see how I walked or about the pain.
He clearly explained the pros and cons and risks of my upcoming surgical procedure so that I felt ready to make an informed decision about having it done.
Excellent doctor!
he was great
I love doctor Groth ! he's been a huge help
Doctor listened and explained things well.
Care was very good but the doctor seemed rushed.
Dr. Groth always took time to completely answer any of my questions, never making me feel rushed.
professional
Dr. Groth is an excellent surgeon, he repaired my ankle, feel like a new man!
All was fine.
listened to my concerns; explained options for care; developed a plan quickly
Listened to me & made recommendations I could do now to help my pain prior to next follow up.
Dr. Groth and Dr. Jesse were very attentive and thorough. They asked me what I wanted and didn't waste time on other options to resolve the problem; very impressed with them both. I have full confidence in them.
Very thorough.
he spent quite a bit of time with me.
Dr.Groth was amazing during appointment and made me feel like I was getting the absolute best care.
Very caring - professional.
I received XRays same day and Dr Groth reviewed them that day which was convenient for me.
good
Dr. Groth was very helpful and professional. He answered all of my questions.
I felt like the provider was eager to start discussing surgery and did not really hear me when I said that physical therapy and orthotics have worked well in the past for my foot problems.
Dr. Groth is very nice, has excellent bedside manner, does not rush and tells you what he is doing.
Very good.
Great glad he was my provider he gave me hope when I didn't have none. Fixed me up gave me my life back cannot thank him enough. Osu has a great provider in him thank you doc.
Dr Groth is a Gidsend. he fixed my ankle when several other drs failed.
Nice Dr got the same answer that other Drs gave about my foot.
Friendly and super nice.
very responsive and informative
Dr. Groth is one of the best providers from whom I have received care. He was seeing me in follow up for a surgery and was truly interested in my progress & recovery.
Did not take the time to listen to my concerns. Seemed bothered by the questions I asked. Overall impatient and knew little about my case, which happens to be more complex than most. In my opinion a horrible replacement for the dept. Dr. Ian Alexander was previously the head of. I will most likely be going somewhere else for future treatment.
I was very impressed with Dr. Groth and his intern, Dr. Jones. Both were very caring, listened well and explained the procedure very well.
Very knowledgeable and listened to my concerns.
felt very listened to during the exam
Dr. Groth understands and had set up Surgery due to my 3 years of experience with this issue.
the dr didn't seem to care much and wasn't as personal as other dr I seen there. not concerned
attentive guestioning. sense of humor very easy to talk to
Felt rushed. Very intelligent & empathetic. I was confused & a bit unsettled when they did not know I had had the same surgery on the other extremity by the office several years prior. Thankful & happy Dr. Groth listened to my concerns & agreed that the success on my other extremity would like lead to success on the other.
Seemed very concerned and addressed all my questions.
The doctors were very concerned about how I felt when it comes to the future of my injury.
Dr Santiago and Dr Groth were very attentive, respectful, knowledgeable and compassionate.
He was very professional and intelligent and gave me good advice and recommendations, but I wish he would have spent more time discussing more of my issues and let me ask more questions.
very good experience
He was friendly & willing to listen to my questions & concerns. Worked with me to establish a plan for future treatment.
