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.

Very attentive and helpful!
We discussed the issues in depth and Dr. Glassman identified it and suggested treatment, we agreed on a course of action and began it, there in the office.
He was very professional and courteous, and he provided all the pros and cons to this type of surgery and what to expect during and after.
Dr. Glassman cares. It is obvious.
Good.
Dr. Glassman was thorough, asked questions to determine problem has ordered test to follow up. I'm very satisfied.
1st. Class Professional .. Always asks questions.. Very concerned on how the progress is moving along... Willing to answer all questions & always giving advise on getting better...
All was great! Dr. Glassman replaced both my knees & did an excellent job!
Dr. Glassman always makes me feel like I am his only patient that day. He did my 1st knee replacement many years ago. He is possibly my favorite doc I've ever had and I had a good PvP since 2001! He actually apologized for anymdiscomfort I may have while maneuvering me for an injection to my hip, injecting me and afterwards, checked on my comfort level more than once. I would say that his bedside manner is the best of anymdoctor, surgeon or otherwise. His personality is personable and likeable. His knowledge and skills are superior--- he did 2 total knees and a total hip. I feel as tho I have the best ortho person in the USA. I've heard him talk to fellows, assets, and schedulers, and he treats us all the same.
My experience with my provider was a very good experience. He listened, explained the problem, then showed me my x-rays and related his explanation to the x-ray. He provided a non-invasive approach to start with and scheduled a follow-up to see how our first approach is working. I am very satisfied.
One of the best.
Excellent listener & excellent easy to understand.
Very helpful and knowledgeable. Explained everything and answered all questions. Personable.
Dr Glassman is the kindest most patient Dr I have ever worked with at OSU
Dr. Glassman is an extremely competent surgeon. He has an excellent bedside manner & truly cares about me as a patient. He sits with you and does not rush in & rush out. He should be a model. For other care providers to rush in - ignore the lived experience, complete check list. Tell you what is wrong & then quickly depart. Dr. Glassman very special physician.
Dr. Andrew Glassman provided superb care. He thoroughly evaluated my problem and presented options for treatment.

Dr. Glasman and Cathleen the NP do an outstanding job.
