“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!”

I had an appointment with Dr. Tyler Ames and was very impressed!! He was very thorough and showed us the X-rays of my knees and explained everything in terms that we could understand. I have a lot of confidence in him.”

“I 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!”

“I was referred by my PCP and couldn’t 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!”

“Dr. Grisafi is a ‘top-notch’ spine surgeon! I can’t thank him or his staff enough for everything they’ve done for me. No more walking in pain, standing for just short periods in pain – I am back doing things I did before my back pain started. They have given me a wonderful gift – my life back! My family and friends are truly amazed at how well I am doing. I can’t thank them enough. Wishing continued success to the Southwoods team!”

“My 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 – from the front desk to housekeeping to the nurses – 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 can’t imagine that anyone would look forward to any type of surgery, but if surgery is the only option…then Southwoods is the only answer! Thank you so much for taking such good care of me!”

“I 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!”

“This was not my first experience with Southwoods. I can honestly say that I am equally impressed each time with the service I receive. Obviously your staff knows that you can be friendly and compassionate as well as professional at the same time. I appreciate being treated as who I am and not only as what I am (a patient). Thank you for your excellent care.”

“The efficiency and politeness of the Southwoods staff deserves recognition and praise. From the check-in staff to the orderlies and nurses, everyone provided excellent care. I would especially like to recognize my pre-op and recovery nurses who took care me. They both went above and beyond with their empathy, attention to detail, and genuine caring attitude. I was less stressed, calmer and felt like each of them truly cared about my well-being.”

“Everyone at the facility acknowledges you, even if they aren’t the one treating you. I have been a little apprehensive with a couple of the procedures I’ve had, but they are always so kind and patient. If I have a choice I’ll never go anywhere else. Kudos!”

“From my first appointment thru surgery and each follow up appointment, I was provided excellent care with genuine concern. The entire staff is amazing. Each of them are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The office staff went above and beyond in helping with the paperwork for insurance. Dr. Grisafi told me the nerve pain would be gone after surgery – and it was! My one night stay at Southwoods was also a great experience. The nurses and aides were very helpful and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Grisafi and his staff. Thank you to the entire staff!

“We can’t thank Dr. Grisafi and the team at Southwoods enough for everything they have done for my husband! From his first office visit, to his back surgery at the Hospital, to his post-op follow ups – everything has been top notch! You have given him a wonderful gift. He is back to doing the things he loves and is no longer in pain. Our family and friends are amazed at how well he has done. We always sing your praises and wish you continued success!”
