I have THE BEST Surgeons. Last year, Dr. Shumaker did a Spinal Fusion and it was a great success. I could not have asked for more! This June, Dr. Ames did a total right hip replacement, and once again, Southwoods treated my guest and me like gold. Doctor also came to see me at my bedside and called me at home. My hip is awesome and I have total confidence they will have me up and going again in no time. Sometimes fixing old folks requires a bit more, and they give it their all. They are THE BEST hospital ever and have the best doctors. I will never go anywhere else. Thank you Dr. Shumaker and Dr. Ames.
This was my second surgery, and I feel it is even more important to recognize just how incredible this entire team was—not just once, but consistently. From the moment I arrived through surgery and into recovery, I was surrounded by people who truly care about what they do. Dr. Michael Shumaker, my surgeon, and the entire operating room team were absolutely outstanding. Going into a second surgery can come with a lot of emotions, but I had complete confidence in their skill, professionalism, and teamwork. I am deeply grateful for the care and precision that went into my procedure.
