Biography
Licensed by the State of Ohio Medical Board since 2007. I am also a long time member of the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (AMBP) and The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB). Before coming to The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I offered massage in different settings, including spas, clinics, and chiropractic offices. I started with Ohio State in 2015 working multiple outpatient locations with the Center for Integrative Medicine (CIM). In October 2016, I found my home at the Jameson Crane Sports Medicine Institute representing CIM. There, I am also a provider for referrals from the Bureau of Workers Compensation (BWC). In 2017, I became certified in Massage Cupping, which has had a positive impact on me and my patients. This modality has to ability to extend my career as well as provide deep tissue therapies for patients without the pain that is sometimes associated with that therapy.
Outside of my clinical work, I have a small business of decorating cakes that I started in 2012. I enjoy spending my down time with my family and going on road trips on my Harley.

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 11/3/2025, Dr. Summerford has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
