Biography
I am an orthopedic surgeon specializing in spine surgery at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I chose this specialty because of the opportunity to help people significantly improve their quality of life.
I offer my patients a comprehensive approach to spine care, including a broad spectrum of treatment options, with surgery typically reserved as a last resort option. My focus and passion are on minimally invasive surgery, including endoscopic surgery. I try to offer the least invasive procedure possible that will achieve the patient’s goals that we establish together.

Dr. Glivar was very thorough and took the time necessary to listen to me and answer my questions. I did not mind the longer wait to see him because I knew he was spending the time needed for the prior patient.
Excellent doctor. Very please with him.
Dr. Gliver is all business, a man of few words but excellent skills.
Excellent
Courteous, professioal and thorough. I felt heard, not dismissive or belittled. Excellent communication about what to expect. I trust he will be honest if he can help me or refer if needed.
All good care,so far.
The doctor respected me in my family and gave us the answers that we needed to make a difficult decision about a surgery.
My care provider was excellent! He listened to what my issues were and the reason for my visit He showed me so much compassion. I was amazed at how much he was concerned. He listened to what I have to say. He explained the reasons for the pain I was having. Other physicians tend to tell me there was nothing wrong at all.
Knowledgeable, thoughtful and easy to talk to.
My doctor listened to my issues, reviewed my test results with me and explained my options. He was professional, courteous and concerned for my health and level of pain I was in!
Outstanding doctor asked right questions showing concern for my recovery
Dr Glivar explained my issues, listens well, answers all questions; we did not feel rushed & appreciated his caring
I love Dr Glivar. He is very professional shows respect to the patient and did an excellent job on my back. He went the extra step to ensure that my neurologist also got what he needed done.
