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.

Good
Nothing but the best.
Took time to answer my questions and provided clear explanation of care plan.
Listened and cared
Thorough & did not rush visit. Answered all inquiries fully.
My experiences were excellent. I really like this provider. He Is very kind and listens well. Very competent. One of the best caregivers I have.
He was nice but not overly friendly. He was in the room with me maybe 10 minutes. Didn't seem too concerned. I know he is busy I was his first patient after he did rounds at the hospital. Maybe he wasn't quite in his office mode yet.
Always good and caring.
The doctor was very understanding. Had a line of things we could do right away - refreshing.
Dr. Grossbach has a wonderful bedside manner that instills comfort and confidence during my visit.
Outstanding explained options well
Attentive but did not manage my expectations in communicating when Dr Grossbauch was running behind
Top notch - Dr. Grossbach. Takes as much time needed, patient, understanding and compassion.
He explained X-ray and MRI results well, answering questions as he went. Very compassionate and empathetic to my condition. Also explained possible options to consider. He was very helpful, and I didn't feel rushed.
All was good. I forgot to ask a few things. I did not call the offices because I used MY CHART.
Great experience great experience
Dr. Grossbach very helpful, answered all of my questions - appeared to be interested in providing a plan to help my pain.
Unfortunately, he shared information with me I didn't want to hear. That's not his fault. He was kind.
Takes time to describe my options. Makes me feel comfortable about my situation.
Love Dr. Grossbach
Dr. Grossbach (provider) listened to me and did not rush visit.
Dr. Grossbach is a great doctor. If it wasn't for him. I probably wouldn't be here today. He has my full faith and trust in his skills as a neuro surgeon.
Excellent care by provider.
Excellent doctor!
He is awesome.
Kind, professional, definitely showed concern about my well being
He listened made some recommendations explain the x-ray I was satisfied w/him.
Because I brought my MRI on a disk, Dr. Grossbach could review it prior to entering the exam room. He was able to then explain the approach he would suggest for correcting my issues.
My experience was excellent. He explained everything in such a way that made it easy to understand.
Good
He's the best!

His care has made a huge difference in my quality of life.
All Good!
I find my back issues to be complicated including on those issues relate to my hip replacement, and wish there would have been more discussion about my back issues in lay terms and some holistic conversation as to how hip issues may or may not relate. Some problem w/hip surgeon. Each doc does not want to talk about anything outside very narrow specialty.

I have confidence in Dr. Grossbach's ability to correct the spinal conditions that have had me in pain for the last 20 years.
Pleasant, knowledgeable, spent adequate time, gave good medical advice & treatment.
He was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything I asked him too. He also never acted like I was asking dumb questions.
Doctor was very friendly.
I have had a problem with my leg for several months and this provider is getting testing done that may reveal the problem so it can be solved.
My provider was excellent. Prior to this appointment with him, I had very negative experiences at OSU Wexner Medical Center. My provide completely turned that around by being professional, knowledge, respectful, attentive, and caring.
He was excellent

Referral for associated problem.Also doctor went out of his way To get a referral for my father who is not his patient
Very good.
He rally seemed knowledgeable, and appeared to really know the subject matter - especially how he could work with and help me.
I have been seeing another neurosurgeon (not at OSU!) for a year. I have spent less than 10 minutes total with the other doctor. Even the day he advised I need surgery, he sent a nurse in to see me. Dr. Grossbach, in my first visit, spent close to 45 minutes. He didn't rush me, took time to review my test results and explained the recommended surgery process. A night and day difference so thankful for Dr. Grossbach!
Provide a thorough description of the current X-ray which indicated that the subdural hematoma I sustained in an accident had reduced in size. I was relieved with the results & appreciate the time he took to explain things.
I've had nothing but great experiences with Dr. Grossbach. He's a highly skillful neuro surgeon that I fully trust with my care. I'm well pleased with how much he's changed my life and helped me. He's a wonderful doctor and a blessing to me. He's my hero and always will be.
listen to my concerns
Very impressed with Dr. Grossbach, very personable but very professional and very knowledgeable! Very easy to talk to and understand.
he showed me side by side images of MRI images to compare/ note healing and explained what images showed
Very good.
Great doctor.
I've full confidence in Dr. Grossbach & OSU medical.
He explained disease/ disorder in detail that I could understand. took his time going over mri and films I brought to office. explained in detail about tests needed. Answered all my questions
Beside simply examining and consulting with me, he quickly referred me to a knee specialist who saw me within a week. That was very satisfying.
