“I can’t believe what a kind man Dr Ames is. Made sure it was my hip causing pain and not my back. On the 2nd appointment he scheduled me for hip replacement. I can actually walk now without a limp and without pain. Dr Ames himself called me twice at home to find out how I was doing and to answer a question! My brother needs a hip replacement and I’ll be making sure he used Dr Ames! Top notch Dr you can’t go wrong using him. Thanks Doc.”
“Dr. Ames has been very thorough and kept me at ease through every step of my procedure, personally calling me at home to make sure there were no problems afterwards. It was very impressive. I could not have been in better care.”
“I had a hip replacement with Dr. Tyler Ames. The entire process from seeing Dr. Ames in the office, to the care that I received from him after the surgery was phenomenal. The staff at his office as well as the home therapists, home health care, and out-patient therapists also need recognition. Thank you Dr. Ames, and the entire staff at Southwoods Health for all that you do!”
“Dr. Ames is a wonderful, talented surgeon with a great bedside manner. He is very knowledgeable about his craft and a kind, caring doctor. Everything went well with the surgery and I feel like my quality of life has been improved tremendously since surgery — due to him!”
“I just had my one year check-up on my first knee replacement and 9 month check-up on my second. Dr. Ames is nothing short of performing miracles. I had so much trouble walking without being in pain. Two weeks after my first surgery I was driving, not using a cane or walker, and not taking any pain medicine! I had the second knee done three months later, and one week I recoverd as well! I feel like there is nothing I can’t do. My knees work like they did when I was a kid. If you had to pick a doctor to do your knee, you don’t need to look any further, believe me. I am 60 years old and he gave my life back to me and I am so very thankful.”
“I had a right total hip replacement surgery done 12/2024 with Dr. Tyler Ames. I’m feeling much better, he did a great job! I had to stay overnight in the hospital and the staff at the Surgical Hospital was also so nice and kind to me, they treated me amazing. I used Southwoods for my home health services, PT and OT, too. I would recommend Southwoods Health for all of these services.”
“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!”
“I recently had a total knee replacement surgery performed by Dr. Tyler Ames. The care I received was outstanding – from everyone on staff at his office to The Surgical Hospital at Southwoods staff. My surgery went off without a hitch. I have nothing but high praise for Dr. Ames and the entire staff at Southwoods Health!”
“I have been a patient of Southwoods for a number of years with great experiences. From walking in the door to leaving, every staff member was extremely cordial and professional. Dr. Ames was a delight to meet and talk to. I am so happy I called Southwoods. Thank you to all!”
“Shout out to Dr. Tyler Ames for his knowledge, wisdom and his compassion. I feel quite confident in his diagnosis and treatment.”
