About Me
My approach to patient care is always focused on the unique goals of each patient. Whether a patient wants to return to a varsity sport or walk without pain, I work with each of them to establish goals and chart a treatment course.
I specialize in the treatment of sports injuries, including both operative and non-operative care. While I treat injuries throughout the body, my primary area of interest is the knee. I am interested in ligament injuries, such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and dislocations of the kneecap. My role as both a clinician and researcher allows me to translate the results of my research in these areas directly to my patients.
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we’re extremely fortunate to have access to top experts in every medical field and the best technology available. Our team approach to patient care allows every patient to benefit from these resources.

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 09/30/2022, Dr. Magnussen has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
I am looking for a good experience concerning my right leg.
He was fabulous at listening to my concerns, including my pain. He explained everything so it was clear to me and my husband. Good also at explaining all my options.
Explained in good detail. Took time to answer all questions. Showed visual results of my MRI to explain. Great listener.
Excellent.
Dr. Magnussen was very friendly engaging and spent time talking with me about my concerns. He also had a fellow (I believe) with him, so took time to explain why he was doing certain manipulations to us both during my physical examination.
Dr. Magnussen was very helpful and easy to work with.
Disappointed in the therapy route - much too costly & inconvenient & really only helped a little.
After injuring my knee on an out of state trip, Dr. Magnussen was willing to accept my imaging, review it, review my clinical options and coordinate my care at OSU. Immediately upon my return to Columbus. Could not ask for any thing better.
Very thoughtful, concise, and able to help me the day of my initial appointment.
I think provider profesional and knowlegeble, but think he was in a rush. Maybe, take more time with patient and listen.
Dr. Magnussen understood my need to remain active and prescribed a type of knee brace that will help stabilize it.
Magnussen makes me feel comfortable and heard. He is always smiling and welcoming.
The provider didn't seem to want to help me, he didn't actively listen and used prior medical diagnosis to determine care for a NEW injury.
All good
Excellent.
Dr Magnussen is very personable and explained everything very thoroughly
Dr. Magnussen is outstanding - genuinely cares about his patients, provides advice and information without judgment and is clearly an expert in the care of complex knee problems. Would/do/will continue to send all friends & family to him.
The doctor was patient, respectful and seemed very knowledgeable.
Dr. there is always there to take care of my needs a good doctor.
Amazing & great. Friendly.
All experiences with care provider were positive, great care!
He is a very nice man and always listens to what you have to say. Very good at his job. I put him in my top 5 favorite orthopedic surgeons.
All good - attentive, knowledgeable, caring.
All visits are handled perfectly regarding the providers.
Takes time to listen to you, very helpful, always happy & upbeat. I am so glad I chose him, there was another surgeon I saw I he didn't seem to care of listen. I chose to change to Dr. Magnussen I heard good things about him.
Excellent care. Answered all of my questions in a thoughtful and respectful manner.
He provided proper options.
The care providers were nice and listened to me. I didn't feel like I needed to re-explain symptoms or wasn't being taken seriously.
Because of history took care to get updated x rays so we could make informed decision as to next step in care Thoroughly discussed options. When decision made discussed procedure step by step.
Dr. Magnussen is very knowledgeable and was thorough in explaining the situation and the follow-through was excellent.
Gave me an inaccurate timeline of my recovery other then that was good.
VERY UNDERSTANDING AND EXPLAINED THINGS TO BE AND SHOWED ME MY EXRAYS
All excellent. Thanks.
Very good - Dr. Magnussen listened to my symptoms and came up with a reasonable course of care.
I have had nothing but AMAZING from OSU Hospital I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
Excellent care!
