About Me
I’m a neurosurgeon specializing in all types of spine disorders, including scoliosis and deformity surgery, degenerative conditions, 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 Parkinson’s disease can lead to spine issues. My research also explores how to optimally treat these degenerative spine conditions. I serve as an educator for residents and medical students. I received The Ohio State University Lawrence Mervis Teacher of the Year Award for the 2017-2018 academic year. On football gameday, I also 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 surgeons and help them provide positive outcomes to all of their patients.

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.

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.
dr made me feel very comfortable and answered all my questions.
Dr. was very good at explaining options for treatment.
All good.
i WAS VERY SATISFIED AND GLAD HE WAS SELECTED AS MY PROVIDER
Dr. Grossbach is the best because his skill as a neurosurgeon has brought me back from all the pain that I've suffered. I would've never dreamed I'd be able to walk again or have a better quality of life. I will always be thankful and express my gratitude to him and his staff.
