About Me
I’m an orthopedic surgeon with a subspecialty in sports medicine and shoulder surgery. I take the time to understand each patient’s concerns, goals and expectations while providing a clear explanation of the diagnosis and treatment options, which can range from non-operative solutions to minimally invasive arthroscopic or open surgeries for patients of all ages. I’m passionate about helping my patients alleviate their pain and improving their function to get them back to doing the things that they enjoy.
I developed a focus on patient care, research and education while training at the world-renowned Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. However, as someone who was born and raised in Columbus, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center has always been a special place to me. The team-based approach and willingness to address any problem, no matter how complex, set Ohio State apart for providing the best care possible to patients and made it the ideal place to continue my career.
I’ve served as a team physician and taken care of athletes at all levels of competition, including providing care as an assistant team physician with the New York Giants. I also enjoy taking care of the athletes at Ohio State.
My research interests include enhancing our understanding of shoulder instability and available treatment options as well as patient expectations and clinical outcomes for shoulder replacements and rotator cuff repairs.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family as well as playing tennis and hiking.

Dr Rauck was confident, professional, and informative, while making me feel safe and cared about. He was polite, and explained in detail my options. He knew my medical history, obviously having taken the time to review my complicated record. He also did another X-ray just prior to the visit so that my recommendation was based on the freshest information. That meant a lot to me. I really felt like I was in good hands. His resident was also very thorough and pleasant.

Very knowledgeable
Dr. Rauck asked how I was feeling but did not ask any questions about how I was doing physically handling daily tsks nor convey what to expect /time frames for expected capabilities. Guess they don't care and leave that to the PT to answer and assume the patient will be kept in the loop.

Very Pleasant
Knew what was going on, did a good job.
It was a good experience
Top notch orthopedic surgeon. Explained my surgeries, recovery time very clearly. Offered up services if I ever need him again.
Dr. Hauck had a sophisticated understanding of my injury. He was able to review the MRI before the radiologist results were ready and he discerned the important findings and recommended physical therapy and a follow up with specific outcomes for evaluation then. I feel like I'm on track for full healing.
Was also Very Good
My doctor was great. He explained everything to me in a easy and understanding manner.
I was very impressed by Dr. Rauck telling me that he'd been further researching my condition due to its uniqueness. And his ability to develop a plan of care beyond the normal as a result of that research.
Info always provided and cared about what was going on
Dr. Rauck is the best upper extremity expert in town, in my opinion. He is attentive, accessible and caring. I appreciate Dr. Rauck's willingness to listen to my concerns and address them. He doesn't talk down to me or the people who have attended appointments with me. He treats things conservatively and addresses concerns appropriately. I appreciate Dr. Rauck's attention to detail, sense of humor and thoroughness. Dr. Rauck's entire staff, including Monica, Devvan and Monica are the best. The OSU Sports Medicine program is lucky that they have such wonderful and caring team members. Every time I met with Dr. Rauck, I'm impressed with him and all of the treatment team.
