About Dr. Theodore ("Ted") Bauer

Dr. Theodore Bauer, DDS

Dr. Theodore (“Ted”) Bauer grew up in Ottawa, Ohio. He graduated from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, where he was involved in numerous student organizations and student government associations at varying levels, including President of the Inter-Professional Council. Dr. Bauer is a recipient of the Ohio State College of Dentistry Alumni Leadership Award and was recommended to this practice by E. Gordon Gee, then president of The Ohio State University.

Dr. Bauer is a member of the Advanced Dental Concepts Study Club, the Columbus Dental Society, Ohio Dental Association, American Dental Association, the OSU Dental Alumni Society and the Ohio State University Alumni Association. He is an Eagle Scout, a former steering committee member for the Ohio Dental Association Dental OPTIONS program, and has served on the Ohio State Dental Board as an appointee of Ohio Governor John Kasich. Dr. Bauer has traveled to Guatemala multiple times with the CRISP foundation to perform dental services for those in need. A lifelong buckeye fan, he is the son of two Ohio State alumni.

Dr. Bauer and his two sons Will and Nolan live in Upper Arlington where they are gradually renovating and restoring their historic home. When he isn’t taking care of the kids or working on the house, he likes to spend his free time supporting local businesses, causes, and artists.

Dr. Bauer assumed ownership interest in the practice from Dr. David Rummel in 2013.

“At Schumacher & Bauer, I stress education and prevention to empower our patients to keep their dental health needs to a minimum. When those needs arise, I handle them with kindness, compassion, precision, and stand behind the work that I do. We strive every day to provide a different, better dental experience.”
