Physician Assistants

Our certified physician assistants at Ohio Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine are here to aid in providing the best orthopaedic care available. As a physician assistant, they are able to provide most of the same services as a physician. However, due to the physician’s periodic calls to the hospital, our physician assistants can make sure to get you into the practice sooner and answer any questions you may have.
