Southwoods Health
The Valley's Regional Healthcare System

“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!”

“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!”

“Dr. Lesnoski is one of the very best doctors around. He has kept my family safe with his medical knowledge for decades!!”

“This was my first surgery in decades. From the time I arrived at Southwoods, the staff was awesome. Food was wonderful. We even received two great meals to take home with us – and that would be unheard of at surrounding hospitals. Southwoods is a great place to go to. Southwoods rocks!”

“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."

Dr. Ebert and his staff are phenomenal! I highly recommend!
