About Me
I joined Ohio State after working in Army Medicine, managing a broad spectrum of patients with foot and ankle disorders. From experience in austere environments, I honed my skills in out of the box solutions for both simple and complex challenges. I enjoyed working with a team of subspecialists to get our soldiers back to duty as quickly as possible. At Ohio State, we have a strikingly similar team and opportunity to expand medical solutions. We have a phenomenal group of physicians working to get individuals back to the activities they enjoy and I also continue to pursue my research in microfracture, cartilage restoration for the talus and ankle arthritis.
I provide care for a variety of foot and ankle conditions in my clinical practice, ranging from sports injuries to trauma to deformities, reconstruction and arthritis. My approach is to get to know the patient, how their problem affects their life and what their overall goals are. I believe patients should know all of the options that are available to them and to create a treatment plan together to get them back to the the level that they want to be.

Everyone was caring check in people were great
Very attentive
What a waste of time. I have extremely flat feet and I was told by Dr. Labroo I needed a foot fusion done so he referred me to Adam Groth only for this man to tell me nothing wrong with my feet etc. Like my feet is EXTREMELY BAD I am losing my ability to walk and these OSU don't freaking care.
Very good In conversations; seemed quite friendly and knowledgeable.
Very attentive listening
Good
He acted like I was bothering him. He asked why I made an appointment with him when I could have seen an original surgeon that repaired my ankle. He seemed like my pain was no reason to bother him!
He was very professional and answered a lot of questions for me with no hesitation.
I now have a normal foot. My arch had collapsed and my foot went to the right, but it is now a normal looking foot, which I have not had in quite some time.
Very informed about my current health and knowledgeable about my needs. Thoroughly explained plan for future surgery
Excellent
Pleasant, kind, approachable, knowledgeable.
Nice and caring
Dr groth was excellent
Recommended I see a podiatrist instead of dealing with my problem directly. Demonstrated a lack of concern for my problem.
Excellent
Was there for second opinion for torn anterior tibialis tendon. Dr Groth listened carefully to my concerns and provided insite and direction as to what I should do next.
Waited in the room for over 40 mins for Dr Groth and when he did come in he spent roughly 5 mins touching my ankle and stated there was no issues, when my MRI that was done a few days later revealed several issues including tendon tears which was my initial complaint
Very happy w/Dr. Groth.
Oh my God,indeed the provider l met.He is very kind,he explains well and l understand him,talk to me good.
No bad all GOOD.
Excellent, easy to get an appointment always concerned.
Dr. Groth is a fine physician and a wonderful person!
Dr. Groth is knowledgeable and caring.
This provider was short an uncaring. All he could say was he was a bone specialist. Ask your general provider.
Dr. GROTH and his team ARE the BEST!
Very good.
I told the provider I was experiencing daily pain and this was a longstanding problem. I asked for him to schedule a steroid injection. Instead he punted care to the next doctor. For all intents and purposes he did nothing to help.
Very thorough
Dr. Groth is absolutely outstanding both in his technical skill and his personal manner.
Experience very good in all respects.
Real good.
Dr Growth was excellent! Explained why I have been having discomfort in my ankle joint.
It took me some time but I found the provider was rude. He did not listen to me. He ordered an x-ray of my foot. Since I did not have broken bones, he informed me he could not do anything. I felt his impression of me was I was a "drug seeker" & my reason for the appointment. His answer was dismissive to my concerns. He suggested NSAIDs for pain. If he reviewed my EMR, he would have known I do not taken them. (GI upset.) Also my pain was only when I touched my Achilles tendon. Overall his delivery method was the worst I have ever experienced from a provider.
Always attentive, empathetic, and thorough!
Was still on crutches after a serious ankle break, Dr. Grott did not show much empathy for where I was in the walking process and quite condescendingly told me to get off the crutches asap. Which is what I had been working very hard to get to for months but wasn't quite there yet. This did not validate my pov as a patient but the content of the appointment was fine.
All perfect.
Dr Groth is fabulous He explains everything in great detail and is also a great listener. He is one of the reasons I drive two hours to come to your facility
I loved Dr. Groth and his Resident! Very knowledgeable!!
Despite the obvious anxiety of surgery, I feel I will be well cared for with the best prognosis & recovery possible.
All good & excellent!
Dr. Groth was thoughtful in his approach to my care and made sure that my concerns were addressed to help me return to my functional status
Great, they were top notch doctors.
Very attentive, courteous and informative.
Excellent put me right at ease
He is the best! REALLY cares about each patient. He listens, answers clearly what is going on. Wish I would have went to him in the very beginning.
Excellent coordination of care with other provider.
Very nice.
Dr. Groth is great. He tells my my options and pros & cons.
Dr. Groth was very respectful, competent, & knowledgeable - helpful too!
Dr Groth surgery went perfectly. Two previous doctors had refused to do the surgery. I wish I had this done 10 years ago. I was miserable for quite a while. Four days after the surgery I was off prescription meds and on ibuprofen. I was back to work in less than three months walking 4-7 miles a day.
It was also very good. I was pleased.
All very nice
The provider saw us 2 days after the injury and squeezed us in for surgery the very next day. I was very appreciative of the prompt surgery schedule.
Dr. Groth Was helpful and courteous.
Well experienced, offered a few remedy options
Open, honest conversations allowed for most pertinent information -> GOOD.
Dr. Goth is always friendly & patient. Explains clearly - let's me talk & ask questions. Treats ME with RESPECT.
Always good Very pleased with my care
Dr. Groth didn't even look at or feel my foot. I thought that was strange. He faced his computer, which was angled away from me. He did discuss things with me face to face. I am very happy I found Dr. Groth, as a second opinion, because he's helped me a great deal to this point.
He explained things well. Offered options for me to consider. Seemed very much an expert in his field.
He was professional. He answered my questions and concerns. He put my mind at ease regarding my foot issue.
Dr. Groth Is wonderful and genuine!
Seem to not care about what I had to say I felt like I was being overheard my concerns was not really address.I felt like I had to beg to get want I needed.
Very good.
Excellent.
I came to Dr. Groth for a second opinion on my ankle, a year out from an ankle fracture surgery. Dr. Groth, and his resident, made me feel heard. They affirmed all the pain I was feeling was not just psychosomatic, but was definitely a concern. I have not felt that heard and cared for in over a year when it comes to this ankle. I am even feeling pretty good about the upcoming surgery because Dr. Groth laid out a detailed plan!
Dr. Groth answered all my questions and coordinated well with the PTs and Sports Medicine physician.
First time I saw this provider and he was terrific. He gave me new ideas on how to treat my issues.
Seemed like he didn't have much time and I'm not sure if he took my concerns seriously.
Very calm, cool, and collected. Made me feel very confident in his abilities and eased my concerns for my upcoming surgery.
Dr. Groth has great bedside manner. I do highly recommend him.
Was informative and listened to my concerns
