Biography
I am a physician assistant in the Adult Reconstruction division at Ohio State, I work with adult patients undergoing reconstructive surgeries, with an emphasis on hip and knee replacements, and I also treat conditions including rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. I see patients in the office as well as assist in the operating room with my supervising physician.
I’m proudly helping to grow the Outpatient Total Joint Program here at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, which has led to enhanced care for our patients. This role includes helping to train other advanced practice providers to support the division.
I have been specializing in orthopedics for more than 15 years and I am deeply passionate about providing quality patient care. I listen to my patients’ concerns and thoroughly explain treatment options that are tailored to their individual needs and goals.
I especially enjoy working in academic medicine because of the opportunity to work alongside fellows, residents, medical students and physician assistant students. The trainees provide ongoing education that advances my own career growth in the field of orthopedics, and it’s a privilege to share my knowledge and experience with them.

I needed more time. I needed an injection in my left hip bursa.. But it was addressed and I was rushed to register a floroscopy
Excellent care!
Sarah is AWESOME. She has followed my post-surgical care for 8 years and has provided consistently outstanding services.
I had some specific questions about driving and post op exercise and she provided helpful guidance.
She explained what she was doing and how it would feel very well. She explained how I would likely feel for a few weeks. She was very confident and competent
