Biography

I am a board-certified physical medicine and rehabilitation physician who specializes in treating brain injuries. I see patients across the spectrum of brain injury, from sports-related concussions and headaches to severe traumatic and acquired brain injuries and disorders of consciousness.

When patients come to see me, they can trust that I will work collaboratively with them to customize a treatment plan that best fits their needs and values. I have extensive experience in both nonpharmacologic and neuropharmacological therapies to treat brain injury-related issues. I also provide baclofen pump management to help treat conditions like spasticity, and offer trigger point and botulinum toxin injections.

In addition to my clinical work, I’m excited to participate in research opportunities here at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. My background is in biomedical engineering, and I was active in research efforts throughout my training. I am also proud to help train future physicians in my role as a faculty member in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

    I'm grateful for Dr. Guthrie's to the letter consistency & dependability. I've been seeing OSU Physical Medicine for 20+ years, due to serious SCI/ TBI injuries, & for the 1st time ever, I don't have to wonder or be stressed about prescriptions I have to take anymore; Dr. Guthrie is disciplined, takes responsibility for timing serious medications promptly & properly and it's been an incredibly amazing relief.

    He's amazing. He reviews past appt and scheduled tests and does his brain evaluation. He is am intentional listener and has great non verbals. I like the way he sits and engages with me as if I really matter.
