About Me
As an anesthesiologist and pain medicine physician here at Ohio State, I specialize in anesthesiology, pain medicine and neuromodulation. I’m also credentialed in acupuncture.
I strongly believe in patient education. My approach to patient care involves educating each of my patients so that we’re able to work together to create individualized care plans. I take the time to help them understand the risks and benefits of treatments, possible interventions and medication management. I like to make sure my patients know all of their treatment options, ranging from the most conservative to more invasive.
I’m passionate about my career mainly because pain has the potential to cause so much disability. I work with patients to help them through this process in order for them to achieve the fullest life possible.
My favorite part about working at Ohio State is the amazing staff and team of physicians. We all share the same goal of providing the best comprehensive care to our patients.
When I’m not working, I like to spend time with my family and enjoying the 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.

I just loved Dr. Bold. She spent a lot of time with me and answered all my questions. She is a very good doctor.

Dr. Bold spent & have with me very impressed with her.
Dr. is outstanding. very thorough. knows me as a person as well as a patient. in all my years I don't believe I've ever had a physician as dedicated to her patients as she is.
excellent
She may have been an hour getting to me, but she spent time going over my entire medical history. She was fact based and straight forward with her answers. I could not have been more impressed.
Dr. Bold is the best dr. I have had in years. She always knows what to do to help me.
Dr. Tornero-Bold is a fantastic doctor who takes time to listen me and all of my questions and she explains what the current research shows and how some of the treatment methods have changed because of it. I also have massive anxiety/panic attacks even with taking medication to help with it when I have injections and procedures done on my neck, but she and her team do their best to comfort me and talk through what they're doing at each step of the procedure to help me get through it.
excellent, cares about my well being
