Biography
I’m the director of The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute’s Spine Oncology Program and a clinical director of the Spine Research Institute. I’m also the director of the fellowship program and the department vice chair for clinical affairs. From 2017 to 2019, I served as president of The Ohio State University Neurosurgical Society. I'm a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). I created the first spine fellowship program at The Ohio State University.
I lead a multidisciplinary team that pioneered a new surgical technique to reconstruct the spine following surgery to remove bone tumors. In addition, I’ve developed numerous spine tumors research protocol and spine surgery techniques that have been published. In addition, I was selected for the international Spine Oncology Study Group to develop and publish recent advances and guidelines in the management of spine tumors. I also serve as an ad-hoc reviewer for many scholarly journals, including Neurosurgery, World Neurosurgery, Cancer and the Journal of Neuro-Oncology, and am on the editorial board for Surgical Oncology.
One of the best aspects of working at The Ohio State University is the collaborative environment. For example, I work with the engineering department and Spine Research Institute as part of a cancer engineering program with the OSUCCC – James. By working together across disciplines, we’re able to research and develop better treatment methods and improve our patients’ lives.

We (husband and self) love Dr. Mendel - He saved me - saved me from being paraplegic in all likelihood. Just 3 minutes with doctor is a little light.
