About Me
As an orthopedic surgeon at Ohio State, I specialize in total joint replacement and reconstructive procedures of the hip and knee for problems caused by arthritis, trauma, developmental abnormalities and infection.
The goal of our comprehensive adult reconstructive surgery program is to deliver the very best care to our patients in a compassionate and timely fashion. I believe that the best care is delivered through a team approach. In addition to seeing me, my patients meet with nurses, physician's assistants and physical therapists.
I've had a lifelong interest not just in clinical practice, but also in education and research. Ohio State is among the largest and finest academic medical centers in the country. What I enjoy most about working at Ohio State is the opportunity to deliver optimum care to my patients.
When I have free time, I enjoy fly-fishing, restoring old muscle cars and golfing. I am a bicycling addict and try to ride my road bike whenever possible. My wife and I recently became empty nesters, as we've just sent our last college graduate off to a career in Chicago. However, my Old English Sheepdog and four cats continue to keep us company.

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.

Dr. Glassman is so very professional. Enjoys speaking with my husband and me and answering our questions. It's easy to see he loves what he does.
extremely kind and remember me and didn't treat me as just another client. treat each question one at a time. and helped me figure out the source and solutionto my new hip pain. good sense of humor that put me at ease and gave me great confidence in him.
my experience with my care provider was very good, Dr. Glassman was very thorough.
I like his communication style. He seeks to learn about the every day me, not just the person he is examining in the treatment room. H e also takes the time to show how seemingly unrelated physical attributes are affecting my medical condition. He advocates my being more active in recovering from surgery while also encouraging a patience in the process
Very thorough conversation regarding profession of my hip deterioration.
Very good.
Dr. Glassman was pleasant, engaged in explanation of one concern I worried about, great conversation.
Always friendly and talkative. Good memory. Showed us the x-rays. Wanted to make sure our needs were met.
Excellent visit. Dr. Glassman spends time with me to understand my concerns.
My visit was a follow-up appointment. I received exactly what I had hoped for, a clear explanation of the status of my knee implant.
