About Me
I became a neurological surgeon in order to solve complex challenges and help people achieve a higher quality of life. In my role at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in treating spinal disorders and injuries.
My approach is to start with nonoperative or minimally invasive options whenever possible, but I also have extensive expertise performing both minimally invasive and traditional reconstructive spine surgery. My training further included a Spine Fellowship in Orthopedics, which enables me to help patients manage complex spinal deformities and those who have previously had spine surgery.
Patients can trust that I will take the time to ensure they understand their condition and all treatment options. I work with each person to develop a personalized care plan that works best for them.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, my research focuses on strategies to improve outcomes for patients with spinal conditions. My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and I have presented my findings at medical conferences around the country.

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. Ladd has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
