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 10/25/2021, Dr. Vetter has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
Dr. Vetter is an amazing diagnostician. I have seen him several times when I had concerns about walking - and he has always sent me for the right tests and to the best doctors.
Good experience = was very informative and helpful.
He really cares about helping me feel better. Dr.Vetter is very knowledgeable an helps me understand what's going on with my spine (c4-5,c6-7)
Never want to see him again. (Dr. Vetter).
The care provider spent less than 20 minutes with me, asked barely any questions regarding my injury and perspective, and I did not feel heard during the appointment. I felt that the provider viewed me as just another patient to see and move on from rather than a person who is experiencing pain and asking for help. Provider did not thoroughly explain and recommendations or procedures to me and I left feeling more overwhelmed and confused than when I arrived.
