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.

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 11/21/2019, Dr. Groth has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
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.
Very concerned - friendly.
My care provider explained my situation with my healed right foot. He explained my options and his recommendations quite well. So that I was able to decide on my care with my providers agreement.
