About
View Dr. Ohliger’s Health TalksDr. James Ohliger III is a Lorain County native. He completed his fellowship in Orthopedic surgery sports medicine in Lake Tahoe, California and is returning home to practice in northeast Ohio. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Akron and his medical degree at West Virginia University School of Medicine. Following completion of medical school, he completed orthopedic surgery residency training at Summa Health in Akron, OH.
During his fellowship in Lake Tahoe, California he focused his time on new advanced techniques associated with minimally invasive procedures. He has advanced training in arthroscopic shoulder, knee and ankle procedures as well as robotic joint replacements. He is an active team physician for the USA Ski and Snowboard teams. He travels internationally as the team physician for these Olympic athletes. He has presented nationally at a multitude of conferences and is well published in orthopedic surgery.
His surgical practice includes fracture care, arthroscopic procedures of shoulder, knee and ankle joints as well as joint replacements of the shoulder, hip and knee. Acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries ranging from those sustained while playing sports to chronic conditions such as arthritis are his expertise.
His father James E Ohliger Jr has been practicing family medicine in northeast Ohio for over 30 years. He decided to follow his footsteps in the field of medicine. “Growing up and watching my father practice I have learned to always put the patient first. This exposure has provided me with upmost appreciation for my patients. My goal as an orthopedic surgeon is to educate patients about treatment options whether it be surgical and nonsurgical modalities. Together we will come to a treatment plan that will be individualized based on patient activities, goals of return and many other factors.”
Patient Experience Reviews
Very caring Doctor and staff
Very good provider
Easy to talk to and answered all my questions
Always a good experience, however the wait time was extremely longer then usually to see the dr this time . Nobody kept us informed
The physician was excellent. I was, however, concerned about the lag time between when I had my MRI and the wait to hear from the doctor's office to schedule an appointment to review the MRI with me. After 4 weeks, I called the office to inquire about scheduling an appointment with the physician which was done immediately. I never was told why I was not contacted by the office to schedule an appointment?
Excellent care with Dr Ohliger and staff.
He is very good ***
Feel so confident in my care and with Dr. Oliver. He is excellent.
Everything was very good
It was my first visit with Dr. Ohliger. He came in, introduced himself, called me by name. I told him I had one question to ask him. He took the time to answer the question. That put me at ease immediately,
My regular provider is with ***.Some of the questions here are not relevant to my general/regular health care. Due to injury I was referred to Dr. Ohliger. I could not have had better care for my *** and ***. Surgery went excellent, based on how I feel now, and I am glad I was referred to Dr. Ohliger. I am eager to continue my care for this specific condition with him, follow ups and therapy, rather than switch to my normal care provider.
