About Me
As an orthopedic surgeon, I specialize in sports medicine and hip preservation. I think our field is very special because we’re able to use a combination of conservative and surgical treatments to help a variety of individuals return to certain activities or achieve specific goals.
I believe that helping patients return to a desired level of activity can help improve their lives and overall health. When we personalize a patient’s goals and collaboratively craft successful treatment strategies, our team develops a strong personal connection with the patient. In accomplishing this, we help patients lead full and engaged lives.
I enjoy working at The Ohio State University because we have the unique opportunity to combine clinical practice, community outreach, academic research goals and teaching skills.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and inventing new adventures with them. We love being outdoors and enjoy being a part of our community.

What I appreciated the most was that Dr. Vasileff listened carefully to my concerns about both my immediate need (hip pain) and about my serious chronic conditions (RA, FMD, Hypothyroidism) which impact my daily life. He was willing to work with me through a holistic lens to use non-surgical means to improve both my physical health and my well-being. The PT regimen has been helpful in reducing my daily pain levels, increasing my strength and giving me hope. I am grateful to have this physician, physical therapist and health care connection.
He was very clear, confident, kind and professional
Dr. Vasileff saved me from a life of pain. I was reluctant about surgery but his expertise and encouragement allowed me to be active again. I can never thank him enough.
Dr Vasileff and his team are amazing!
Always listened, tried all conservative measures first before surgery. Would highly recommend for hip issues. Was seeing another hip surgeon who dismissed my symptoms and made me feel like it was all in my head, it wasn't.
Dr. Vasileff always remembers me & my history & provides excellent care!
Highly skilled, very smart, and extremely personable. A great listener who is both thoughtful and caring. Nothing bad at all.
I felt like he rushed through the visit too quickly. I was referred to him but not sure it was necessary, more of an extra visit and I probably could have passed in his visit and just met with dr Ionesco directly.
Always polite, concerned and working to find a solution to my concerns. Always willing to explain the issues and the solutions options available
He is the BEST. When I came to him, I was a horrible mess. Hip replacement, then low back, then neck. Dr. Vasileff worked with Dr. Jonath Karnes to make my life WORTH LIVING, with HOPE.

Excellent professionalism

Excellent. Good listener. Compassionate
Dr. Vasileff is the best! First time I've seen him as a patient, because the surgeon who did my surgery has left OSU, however he did my husband's surgery, so I feel I have a family/physician relation relationship with him so wanted to see him for my 10-year follow-up. Both competent and very human - a wonderful physician and person - and this coming from a nurse!
I truly appreciate Dr. Vasliff for his kind bedside manner. He listens, makes eye contact, and I am at ease in this office.
Very friendly and explained things well. Listens well and does not seem inordinately rushed, while being efficient
Every single experience with this care provide has been exceptional. The level of knowledge and professionalism is outstanding. I was able to get a quick appointment and further treatment in 2 days which provided immediate relief.
