“I recently completed physical therapy for rotator cuff injuries at Wooster Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Center in Wooster. After an initial assessment, their policy, as much as possible, is to assign the patient to the same therapist for each hour long treatment session. However, because, I re-injured my shoulder in the middle of the treatment, I did get to know almost every member of the staff. I gradually realized that a great strength of the Wooster Orthopaedic program is that all of the therapist work as a team, ready to help any patient who has a question. From the initial assessment to the final treatment, I was very happy with the kind, knowledgeable care that I received from the entire staff at Wooster Orthopaedic.” - Linda B.

Thanks to Dr. Widmer, the hospital staff and physical therapy I now have a new and improved knee. Three months later I'm pain free and ready to get back to the things I enjoy.”  - John R

“When Eli was around eleven years old. They noticed when he sat down, he always crossed his feet with knees wide apart. Cause it hurt to push them together he couldn’t run. They took him to a chiropractor, probably around a year with no success. Then they were advised to put one leg in a sling, tied up and was on crutched for a while, no success. At thirteen they took him to Akron Children Hospital where he was diagnosis as Legg-Calve-Perthes. They did surgery on both hips and put him in a body cast, with his legs apart for six weeks. Then on a wheel chair. Later he had another surgery, but they can’t remember why (his patient aren’t living anymore, so we can’t ask them) he was laid up for around a year. he went back to Akron Children Hospital for therapy to learn how to walk again. One niece and two nephews were diagnosed as Legg-Calve-Perthes too, but they were ages 8-10. They had surgeries too. Another nephew (47) your patient in 2021 had his surgery and his sister (51) had on surgery and needs to do the other sometime. Also, our daughter (40) will need to do her one. We tell her, go to Dr. Steven Widmer, he is the Best. But she thinks it’s not bad enough yet. Exactly what Eli used to say. Eli’s surgeries lasted for 52 and 53 years. But was bothering him for a few years till he was ready to do them again. He best remembers the anesthesia and the shots. But with robot and the twilight sleep, he felt so good after surgery. So amazing “no pain” we thank God for doctors. We were so happy how his surgeries turned out. You did a SUPER Job… Thank You… And to all who helped…. Everyone was so kind and helpful. We don’t have any complains. No aching pain when it’s rainy weather. If you couldn’t have fixed it Eli would be on a wheelchair. So much to be Thankful for. Eli is back to work. Stared oh half days after six weeks. Pain Free! May God Bless you all, and help you keep up the good work. We are so amazed to see him walk without a limp…. Thanks, again for sharing your Blessings with us!

-Eli’s first hip surgery Jan 26, 2021, his second hip surgery March 29, 2022, both times we got the best care at Orrville Hospital.” - Eli & Mary S.
