Biography
As a vascular neurologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in caring for patients who have had strokes. I also diagnose and treat conditions that can lead to a stroke, including carotid artery disease, cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and intracranial aneurysms.
It’s an honor to be able to use my skills to help survivors of stroke and other neurovascular diseases navigate the physical and emotional journey of recovery. My patients and their families receive open communication and compassion when they come to see me. I recognize that survivors and caregivers are grappling with a life-changing event, and I look to bring joy and understanding to every encounter.
I believe research has power to transform clinical care, and I am excited to be part of The Ohio State Comprehensive Stroke Center and Neuroscience Research Institute. My colleagues and I are developing innovative solutions for stroke care with the goal of improving outcomes for patients in central Ohio and around the world.
My role also includes helping to educate the next generation of physicians. I am a clinical assistant professor of Neurology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

Best Dr
Answered all questions Very supportive
I was very impressed with this "young" Dr with his knowledge and professionalism. He had a very good "bedside manner" And genuinely listened to me. Answered all of my questions.
The doctor was great. He came in prepared; had studied my chart and was prepared with questions he wanted to ask, explained my MRI and other tests; answered our questions and had a plan of what he felt should be done. Easy to talk to and understand. Definitely comfortable with him and feel confident with his knowledge and understanding of strokes.

Dr. Gusler was great! I felt very comfortable talking with him. We spoke at great length about my problem. My local hospital sent Dr. Gusler illegible documents so I explained the situation from my point of view with as much detail as I could. Dr. Gusler advised that he thought he understood what the reports would say based on my description.

Great
Very knowledgeable about my problem and very helpful about questions that I had about the medical diagnosis
Dr. Gusler is one of the most amazing physicians I have ever seen and I have seen alot of specialists. He was so thorough explaining my stroke and why he felt I could titration and stop my Keppra after the last person I saw told me I would Have to take it for the rest of my life. I have never felt so satisfied after an appt.He explained that we would deal with each of my issues one at a time! I used to be a nurse and have worked with alot of physicians, I truly wish Dr. Gusler could be my PCP. I'm so glad I decided to make my 1yr followup appt in Gahanna.
All good
Experience was great. It's worth repeating how much I appreciated Dr. Gusler reading/knowing my history prior to meeting w/me. Honestly, It makes a world of difference In terms of needing to share my history for the 1st 10 min of a theoretical 15 min appt, or discussing ways to improve my health/wellbeing, what woks/doesn't work, why for the entire 15 min (plus in this case!) appt. Quite refreshing!
