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.
As of 09/30/2024, Dr. O'Donnell has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
This was my first visit with this Dr specifically to have a biopsy done. He was obviously very knowledgeable and took the time to explain things to me. Also he was friendly and showed concern for my comfort and for my condition. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing an endocrinologist.

Dr O'Donnell has been my endocrinologist since 2016. He has been monitoring me for thyroid nodules and hyperthyroidism (amiodarone induced). He is a TOP doctor: always polite, informative, and patient with my many questions. He has also coordinated treatments in the past with my cardiologist and electrophysiologist. He also frequently communicates with me on MyChart messaging when I have questions. I'm pleased to have him as one of my specialists and would recommend him very highly.
Listened, asked my questions, asked if I had anything else I wanted addressed. Personable

The doctor was awesome. He was very personable and fun to talk to. He asked what I did for a living and once I told him I was a veterinary anesthesiologist he spoke to me in more medical terminology and even showed me the ultrasound images of the nodule and the other adjacent anatomy. Very nice and normal guy, probably one of the most down to earth docs I've ever seen.
