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.

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.
