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.

Dr. Groth didn't even look at or feel my foot. I thought that was strange. He faced his computer, which was angled away from me. He did discuss things with me face to face. I am very happy I found Dr. Groth, as a second opinion, because he's helped me a great deal to this point.
He explained things well. Offered options for me to consider. Seemed very much an expert in his field.

Excellent.
I came to Dr. Groth for a second opinion on my ankle, a year out from an ankle fracture surgery. Dr. Groth, and his resident, made me feel heard. They affirmed all the pain I was feeling was not just psychosomatic, but was definitely a concern. I have not felt that heard and cared for in over a year when it comes to this ankle. I am even feeling pretty good about the upcoming surgery because Dr. Groth laid out a detailed plan!
Dr. Groth answered all my questions and coordinated well with the PTs and Sports Medicine physician.
First time I saw this provider and he was terrific. He gave me new ideas on how to treat my issues.

Dr Groth has always been very attentive and responsive to my questions and concerns.

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!
