James Ohliger, MD

"I am thankful to have had Dr. Ohliger as my doctor for the last few months due to a shattered ankle. From the start he explained the process of the surgery and healing process thoroughly and always made time to answer my questions. I felt safe knowing he would be the one performing my ankle surgery. All has healed well and I’m grateful to have had such a great doctor through this tough process."

"I can't speak highly enough of Dr. James Ohliger and the dedicated team at University Hospitals Orthopedic Care. Following a roller skating accident with my daughter, I had a broken shoulder, a fractured humerus, and a dislocated shoulder. The prospect of recovery was daunting, to say the least. Dr. Ohliger exhibited unparalleled professionalism, empathy, and expertise from the outset. He took the time to explain my injuries and the treatment plan and answered all my questions with clarity and patience. It's evident he genuinely cares for his patients and prioritizes their well-being. With his guidance and the diligent care of the UH team, I'm ecstatic to report that my shoulder is mending faster than I had anticipated. Such outcomes truly underscore the caliber of care one can expect here. In times of vulnerability, it's reassuring to be in the hands of someone as skilled and compassionate as Dr. Ohliger. I'm immensely grateful for the exceptional care I received and would wholeheartedly recommend him and the UH Orthopedic team to anyone in need."

"Best decision ever!! My experience with Dr. Ohliger was better than I had ever expected! He went above and beyond to provide personal care to me as a patient. He is extremely thorough and takes the time that is needed. He has set me up for success. Thank you Dr. Ohliger!"

"Dr. Ohliger is the most compassionate orthopedic surgeon I have ever encountered. He is dedicated to serving others, respectful, and strives to provide excellent care. He spent 45 minutes with me answering all my questions regarding hip options (physical therapy vs. injections vs. surgery) when I know that my appointment was allotted 15 minutes. I am sticking with the injections and physical therapy now, and am finally back to my normal activities without excruciating pain. Thank you!!"

"There aren’t enough positive words to describe how thankful I am for Dr. Ohliger!! He is kind, compassionate, and patient centered. He steered me in the right direction & helped me make the right choice after a year of nagging hip pain. He listens to your concerns & provides knowledgeable advice. Highly recommend seeing him for any orthopedic needs!!"
