About Me
As a physiatrist, I specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation, specifically non-operative spine care and electrodiagnostic testing. I particularly enjoy meeting and talking with my patients and identifying the best way to assist them in achieving their highest levels of function and quality of life.
I believe that all patients have distinctly unique backgrounds and life situations. When formulating a treatment plan for a patient, it’s very important that the treatment techniques are flexible as well as specific to each person.
The teamwork and multidisciplinary approach, as well as the multitude of resources available here are what make my job at Ohio State so unique and special. I also have the expertise and support of many talented colleagues.
In my free time, I really enjoy spending as much time as I can with my family. I also enjoy reading, as well as spending time outdoors.

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 11/01/2020, Dr. Vetter has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
I think Dr. Vetter was very nice and definitely kept the experience as good as he could while zapping me (EMG). He also talked so made it seem not as bad.
I don't think he completely understood my complaints.
friendly. He had looked at my past medical history, which is quite extensive
Dr asked questions and explained my treatment options
Dr had some questions and was confused about several issues
Knowledgeable, informative and gave me the meds I felt better with.
fine
he ordered the mri I requested
didn't want to hear anything I had to say, didn't ask what I was there for!
No good experience. It was like he was too superior to waste time on me. (Dr. Vetter) it was an EMG. He raised his voice & I moved. It hurt. He told me he would send a report home with me. I asked a question, he said. No, get dressed. I waited in the exam room for about 15 minutes after dressing. Then went out and another young man asked if he could help me. I told I wanted to know if I was to wait in Dr. Vetter, my room or meet him out here. He said let me ask him. I didn't hear what the young man said but Dr. Vetter said tell her to leave. He short with me. At one point I was very panicked during the test, and didn't know what to say so I left with no report, no answers. I still haven't gotten a report nor has my family doctor who referred me to OSU. His only answer to me was "well, your back has nothing to do with your legs. No explanation as what might be or what might be done. He just walked out the door. I feel like I will be responsible for a lot of dept. with no answers about my legs.
