“This 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!”
