About Me
As an orthopedic surgeon, I specialize in operative and non-operative management of sports-related injuries and conditions of the knee and shoulder. I treat patients of all ages, from the high school athlete to the weekend warrior. I have a special interest in joint preservation and treatments for early arthritis of the knee through my training at the Cartilage Repair Center at Harvard University. I plan to use the treatment strategies I learned in Boston for my patients at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
My favorite part about working at Ohio State is the team-based approach to care. I enjoy working closely with physical therapists, nurses, researchers, physician assistants and other physicians to ensure that our patients are receiving the best treatments resulting in the best outcomes.
When I’m not working I enjoy spending time outdoors, watching movies and attending Ohio State football games.

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.
As of 11/01/2020, Dr. Duerr has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
All great experiences.
After a minor procedure, I left there feeling much better than I did when I had arrived.
Dr. Duerr is an amazing surgeon. He shows genuine care and concern for his patients. I am always treated with great respect and know Dr Duerr is giving me the best care possible. He spends as much time as necessary to answer all my questions, never rushing through an appointment. I have recommended him many times, Dr.Duerr is the best!!
My father has been to numerous doctors and had gone to the hospital to try to get the problem diagnosed and fixed. By the time he saw Dr. Dueer, he needed 2 surgeries because the infection was severe. I believe Dr. Dueer saved my father's life.
Everything was good. Explained things well.
Courteous and efficient. Well done!
Seemed to be in a hurry and not the most interested in what I had to say regarding my injury.
He listened well and offered me several options to deal with my knee problem. He also referred me to another doctor who might be in a position to offer further treatment or a clinical trial.
Dr. Duerr is an excellent doctor and surgeon. I would recommend him to anyone. I will continue to visit him with any orthopedic problems that may arise.
All of my experiences there were very informative and positive.
