Physician, Assistant Professor
Transplant
Department: Surgery
As a transplant surgeon, I specialize in organ procurement and donor management. I completed my transplant surgery fellowship at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, so it’s a pleasure to continue working and growing as a surgeon here. I’m excited to delve into more clinical outcomes research to improve transplant surgical techniques as well as expand the donor pool and extend organ preservation. In addition, I welcome the chance to mentor medical students, residents and fellows in surgical and transplant education.
It’s clear that Ohio State has an excellent work environment that allows for easy collaboration. I’m proud to work at an academic medical center with a top-performing transplant program, ranked in the top 10 for patient volume in the U.S.
In my free time, I enjoy watching sports, seeing a movie and spending time with family and friends.

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.

Excellent service
My appointment with him was very brief - as planned and expected - so it's hard to say specifically. I'll know more after I see him again
I felt he "talked down" to me. Kept saying my case is complicated at least 5 times. I'm 69 and lived with this issue since birth. I'm not stupid, I fully understand what's going on. He did not treat me like I do understand.
Always very thorough and thoughtful and genuinely concerned about how I am doing and explains everything so I am fully informed of my status
The Best!
Good easy to talk you
Good
Always excellent care
Good,
Dr. Spetie is amazing! He always answers all of my questions!
Informative and kind
Very good
Listen very well
He is excellent.
My care was excellent
I didn't feel that the doctor had much knowledge of my medical history and recent issues. He only focused upon one echo test and was not very encouraging about my possibilities for a kidney transplant. He assumed that I am quite weak and State that, when I have gotten much stronger and healthier during the past year. He really did not give a chance to speak about my exercise routine and weight loss.
He was more worried about my weight and I felt discrimination against me
All good
