Biography
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.

Dr. Vasileff has provided the absolute best care for me. He is professional and personable at all of my appointments. I would recommend him to anybody.
Good listener and give good tips
Everything was great
All went well
Dr. Vassilef is an extraordinary doctor. 2 years ago when I complained about my shoulder, he immediately had X-rays done and relief injection ordere. This month, I complained about my right knee and he ordered X-rays and made a cortisone injection. All this when he was treating me for hip replacement.
Professional friendly
He was informative and interested in my problem. He did not rush me and invited me to contact him with any problems.
Provider was great.
Very nice. Understandable.
Dr. Vasileff was great! He always listens and does not make me feel rushed out the door. He explains things well and helps me in making some difficult decisions about my hip/ back. He is very knowledgable and has empathy for his patients. He helped me so much when other doctors would not really LISTEN to what I have been through.
Very grateful for such an amazing surgeon. Thorough/polite about every step of the process from before surgery and post op visits!
Excellent, inquired about my overall physical condition, then went over, shared the X-rays with me and discussed the procedure he performed, recovery and therapy.
Awesome,Dr replaced my right hip and will replace left hip.
Absolutely blessed to have been assigned to Dr. Vaseliff. Finally im not in constant pain
