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.

Excellent professionalism
Had no issues.
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

He is short but precise
Dr. Vasileff is very concerned about the well being of his patients.
I've had an ongoing issue and my doctor does not seem as invested in making it better as I am
Dr. Vasileff is a very good doctor, he takes all the time I need to help talk to me so I understand what is going on, and asks questions of me and includes me in making a game plan
He was excellent. He listened to me with an open mind
He's great. I always enjoy coming to see him. His demeanor is easygoing throughout the appointment. I don't feel rushed and he takes the time to listen to my questions. His answers are always easy to follow. I often need to have him repeat things he says, which is a normal thing for me because my mind doesn't comprehend everything that is said. I greatly appreciate him taking his time with me.
Explained everything in a way I would understand. Was very responsive and understanding. Treated me with respect.
friendly, answered questions in detail, comfortable dealing with him.
Good!
Very attentive, knowledgeable & willing to take the time to answer my questions.
no bad experiences all good
Dr. Vasileff took the time to understand my situation and showed concern. I greatly appreciate the length of time to educate on X-rays and diagnosis.
He was ok but he came off a tad cocky and full of himself which I really don't appreciate. I'm coming to him for a reason and I have some serious concerns about my health. I felt like I was getting the brush off and started to play the blame game and I'm not on that.
seemed a little rushed. Very kind
Dr. Vasileef listened to the description of my physical condition and recommended a colleague of his who has more experience with hip replacements.
professional, knowledgeable, and provides great care
