About Me
I’m a neurosurgeon specializing in all types of spine disorders, including scoliosis and complex deformity surgery, robotic spine surgery, spine trauma, and minimally invasive spine surgery. I received my medical training at the University of Minnesota and completed my neurosurgery residency at the University of Iowa. Additionally, I completed a fellowship in complex and minimally invasive spine surgery at Rush University in Chicago.
I’m actively working on research projects focusing on mechanisms that cause spinal degeneration, including how disorders such as scoliosis affect global spine health. My research also explores how to optimally treat these degenerative and deformity spine conditions. I'm the program director for the Neurosurgery Residency Program, as well as the Fellowship Director for our Complex Deformity and Robotic Spine Fellowship. I serve as an educator for residents, medical students, and undergraduate students. I received The Ohio State University Lawrence Mervis Teacher of the Year Award for the 2017-2018 academic year. On football game day, I also help cover The Ohio State University football team and provide care for players suffering from head and spine injuries.
What I enjoy most about my work at The Ohio State University is educating residents and medical students in the neurosurgery department. By working with them, I’m able to inspire the next leaders in Neurosurgery, and help them provide positive outcomes to all of their patients.

Dr Grossbach was very patient and answered all of my questions. He spent as much time with me as I wanted.
Dr. Grossbach was very helpful and interested in what I had to say. I was very happy that he didn't tell me he wouldn't treat me because I was fat. I knew then that I would actually get the help I have needed for the last few years , and not gotten at the others I have been to. So, I wanted to give him an extra shout out of appreciation.
Informative, compassionate, excellent problem solving skills, good listening skills.

Great
Great
He was exceptional in answering my questions and explaining what could and should not be done.
Excellent experience. I requested referral to this OSU specialist provider from primary care CNP (another health system). OSU provider's experience and focus on adult scoliosis was perfect match for my health problem. He was informative, thorough explanation of current condition, initial diagnosis, plan of care options & ordered radiology scans for follow up to discuss next steps. Could not have had a better experience.
The provider was able to explain treatment options very clearly. I did get the feeling that maybe my medical condition wasn't taken as seriously as I would have liked. I understand that my test results weren't as severe as many patients the provider sees, but the pain and the reduction in quality of life due to my medical condition is extremely serious to me
We liked and felt comfortable with the provider. Listened well, communicated well, certainly knowledgeable.
The doctor was patient and took time with me to answer my questions and concerns and give his recommendations for going forward with the treatment for my spine issues. I have a clear understanding of next steps at my discretion.
Dr was very knowledgeable and was concerned for my well being.
