“Saw Dr. Ames for six week post-op appointment after a right hip replacement at Southwoods! All went well with surgery, post-op care and Home Health (PT/OT). Dr. Ames was very pleased with my amazing transition in six weeks! I’m equally amazed and feel so blessed to have had such a positive experience throughout the entire process! I am so glad I was able to see Dr. Ames and have the hip replaced by such a skilled surgeon..Thank you to Dr. Ames and Southwoods staff!”

“In June 2024, I had breast reduction surgery by Dr. Generalovich. Everything about the surgery and my overnight stay at the Surgical Hospital at Southwoods was wonderful. The housekeeper that came into my room was so nice, and we started chatting. Now I’m employed by AVI and working at Southwoods! My experience has positively effected my life in every way. I highly recommend this company for surgery AND employment! I was never appreciated in previous jobs like I am here. I love Southwoods. I’m also a patient of Dr. Homer and am happy she is at Southwoods!”

“Just completed in home PT and OT after hip replacement surgery. My wife and I are so pleased with the compassionate care and support from Samantha and Sarah with OT and Patrick with PT. They were all so kind and helpful from the first visit to the last. We felt very comfortable with all of them and they answered all of our questions. We could not have been happier to welcome such wonderful caregivers into our home. They go above and beyond for their patients and we really appreciate all that they do!”

“I have been seeing Dr. Magdy Iskander for about 7 years now. In that time, I have always been so pleased with his thoroughness and true caring heart. I drive 95 miles one way sometimes through ice and snow to see Dr Iskander. He is the best of the best!”

“Everything and everyone at The Surgical Hospital at Southwoods is exemplary. The hospital is beautiful and every staff person I encountered was kind while being professional. My surgeon, Dr. Kyle Phillips, is the BEST doctor I have dealt with in my 74 years of life. I consider myself extremely fortunate that he performed my surgery.”

“Everything was unbelievable at the Surgical Hospital! I’m talking everyone involved with my care ā from registration to the nurses to the team caring for me after surgery, all the way to probably the least-heralded workers, food service. I can’t thank you enough for the excellent food and care Southwoods provided me!”

āI recently went to Dr Geisler who I was referred to by my family doctor. I couldn’t have been more pleased. Dr Geisler is an excellent doctor, truly the best… professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone I know. Kudos to one great doctor and all of his staff.ā

āI recently had a hip replacement done by Dr. Tyler Ames. He explained everything in great detail and made sure all our questions were answered. The prep nurse, nurse and therapist were all incredible. Once I got home, the home nurse and physical and occupational therapists couldn’t have been nicer. Kudos to Mr. Muransky for running a top-notch operation!ā

āI had a knee replacement at the Surgical Hospital at Southwoods with Dr. Ames. All I can say is what a great doctor and what a great hospital! Everyone was beyond nice, helpful and compassionate. Other hospitals in this area have no comparison. Maybe they could learn a thing or two! And a big shout out to my home health therapist, Rebecca. Unbelievably caring and on time, each and every visit. She is an extraordinary person. Thank you Southwoods!ā
– Robert from Cortland
āThis is my third time having a procedure done at Southwoods, and I must say this is THE BEST level of care in the Boardman and surrounding area for a procedure. The staff is awesome and Dr. Dessecker is just fabulous! Southwoods makes you feel at home. Great level of care, awesome food, and the cleanliness is a 10+. Nowadays, we are limited on local options and many patients end up going to Cleveland. I will be the first to say you do not have to go a distance for a great outcome! Please choose Southwoods; you will not be disappointed!ā

āI was referred by my PCP and couldnāt have been happier with Dr. Tyler Ames. Thought I had a bigger problem with my knee than I did. Dr. Ames was able to diagnose me immediately, and after two sessions with a physical therapist I was back to normal again. Easy breezy. No surgery was needed, just simple stretches and my knee is back to normal. Want to give a shout out to the entire staff at the Southwoods orthopedics location on Belmont. Really friendly and professional. I truly recommend this facility and Dr. Ames!ā

āMy experience during the 30 hours I was a patient at The Surgical Hospital at Southwoods has to be the most unexpectedly positive medical experience of my life. All of the staff ā from the front desk to housekeeping to the nurses ā were so caring, attentive, friendly and professional! They were the BEST! I sent a letter to Mr. Muransky to recognize the individual staff members (whose names I got) that took such great care of me. Everyone made me feel as though I was the only person in the building. I canāt imagine that anyone would look forward to any type of surgery, but if surgery is the only optionā¦then Southwoods is the only answer! Thank you so much for taking such good care of me!ā

āDr. Grisafi is a ātop-notchā spine surgeon! I canāt thank him or his staff enough for everything theyāve done for me. No more walking in pain, standing for just short periods in pain ā I am back doing things I did before my back pain started. They have given me a wonderful gift ā my life back! My family and friends are truly amazed at how well I am doing. I canāt thank them enough. Wishing continued success to the Southwoods team!ā
– Charles from Beaver Township
āI would highly recommend Southwoods Hospital to my family and friends. My surgeon, Dr. Stefancin, and his staff were very nice as well. Once I was ready for my procedure, we met the surgical team who were also very nice. The therapists who worked with me were so helpful on my exercises. The food was excellent and so was the staff. Southwoods is beautiful!ā
– Betsy from East Liverpool
āI felt safe and secure and that the staff cares from the first day of coming to the hospital until I left. My family felt that they were welcome and could not believe the treatment we received. It was the best ā teach other hospitals your method.ā
