About Me
As an orthopedic surgeon with a subspecialty in sports medicine and shoulder surgery, I perform the most advanced surgical techniques of the shoulder and elbow. I use nonoperative treatments whenever possible and use surgery as a last resort.
In order to provide individualized care to each patient, I begin by listening to his or her unique problems and goals. I aim to help patients understand their orthopedic conditions and work with them to choose the best treatment to help them return to their activities. I’m passionate about helping people of all ages and backgrounds regain their quality of life and return to the activities they love.
Working at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center allows me to provide cutting-edge clinical care to patients. I take pride in collaborating with a team of sports medicine experts and participating in clinical research that improves treatments for our patients. I also enjoy serving as a team physician for high school, collegiate and professional athletes, including the Columbus Clippers (AAA affiliate of Cleveland Indians).

They were all good.
I love OSU!
He was very understanding to my uncomfortable situation with my left shoulder.
Overall the doctor was nice and friendly but while speaking to him there were several times that he seemed to keep rolling his eyes while we were having a conversation therefore I was not comfortable with that. Other than that he seemed like a really nice gentleman and did answer my questions thoroughly.
Good
Was very respectful of my overall health.
Prompt care - received cortisone shot during that visit
The doctor was easy to understand and was totally concerned about my problem.
Very attentive to me and allowed time to ask questions.
Dr. Nevilaser was not available, so I saw Dr. C. I was very happy to see him. He seems to be an outstanding dr.
