From the owner: About The Practice Orthopaedic Institute of Dayton is a…read moreone-stop-shop for medical imaging, durable medical equipment, physical therapy, treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, and orthopedic surgery, with three main convenient locations in Dayton, Springboro, and Tipp City, Ohio, and two satellite locations. With 50-plus years as an established medical practice, Orthopaedic Institute of Dayton is the oldest and most respected orthopedic practice in the region. The practice began in 1971 as Dayton Orthopaedic Associates in a downtown location with only two doctors, Dr. Pietro Seni and Dr. Daniel Camacho. In the early years, their doctors were general orthopaedists. However, Dr. Camacho wanted to limit his practice to hand surgery. It was then decided that all physicians would have a specific specialty - a unique concept in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1980 the practice's name was changed to Orthopaedic and Hand Surgeons and was located on Woodman Drive in Dayton. Dr. Frank Mannarino (sports medicine) joined the practice in 1981, followed by Dr. Richard Forster (total joint replacement) and Dr. Paul Nitz (sports medicine) in 1991. Gradually, the practice kept growing and solidifying the subspecialty orthopedic philosophy. Dr. Eugene Kim (hand) joined the group in 1998, followed by Dr. Kevin Paley (sports medicine), who moved his practice to the Orthopaedic Institute in the early 2000s. Dr. Jeffrey Hoskins came to the practice in 2005 following his spine fellowship. Dr...

There really are no words adequate enough to describe what this surgeon has given back to my…read moredaughter. She's Broken her back twice. Once when she was 7yrs old, and refractured it when she was 11. After having undergone a L5-S1 fusion surgery in '09, unsuccessfully, with chronic pain post-op, her quality of life had diminished drastically. After having been a very active healthy child to being unable to walk without excruciating pain shooting down her left leg, she'd begun to think her life would never be normal again. Dr. Woods looked at the Mri he'd ordered & showed us the issue at the old fusion site. Her caged fusion is pushing into her bundle of nerves. It Seemed like a pretty straightforward procedure. Remove the old hardware, re-do the fusion properly, put new rods&screws in, and pray that the nerves are not PERMANENTLY damaged. We're awaiting surgery now. She has also stopped all prior treatments (resulting from multiple misdiagnoses from several other neurosurgeons. We will not even discuss The ludicrous amounts of nonsense that has been diagnosed and recommended tx. Multiple sclerosis, Lupus!??, psych issue!!??, boatloads of pain meds, Aromatherapy!?, yoga, PT, injections, SWIMMING!? etc. Are you kidding?) The level of compassion & expertise at this practice is second-to-none. I Have 100% faith that my daughter will be healed. I am so grateful for the knowledge & skill of this surgeon. I can not wait to post her surgery results afterward. #drwoodsrocks

I was referred to Mayfield by my NP after having a MRI on my neck for narrowing vertebrae causing…read morethe nerves to trigger pain on the left side of head, neck and down my left arm. Treatment plan was to have nerve blocks in neck and if those worked nerve ablations. Lindsay Brian (Crestview Hills, KY office) explained to my husband and I the ablations would help to elevate my head, neck, and arm pain. Sounded like a plan. I was called by scheduling for treatment to be done at the Edwards Rd, Cinti, OH office. Upon arrival I was told to watch a video for steroid injections. What???? thought I was getting a nerve block..... No I was told this procedure has to happen first. Received injections, zero relief. About a week later, my forehead and my checks were covered in hives. by the second week my whole neck and chest were covering in itchy hives. Day of follow-up apt. hives are still very angry and showed no signs of going away. My apt. was with Gina Malott (Crest Hills, KY office). While her attitude and lack of caring could have been overlooked, she was less then helpful. I asked if she could at least send a prescription to help with the hives. She abruptly told me "NO, call you GP. The hives were not caused by shots." I told her I Googled it and YES it can have a prolonged effect. She also to me that the nerve blocks and ablations could not be done if I'm allergic to the steroid used and no other steroid could be used. Also said ablations would not help the pain in my head and arm. AGAIN, WHAT??? I didn't even get to my car when the $750.00 bill appeared on my phone. I feel this whole experience was a bust. I feel this whole experience as a hustle. Not only am I receiving this bill, I had to go to dermatologist to get medication for the hives. And by the way, she confirmed hives could appear weeks later. So my suggestion to future patients, do better research than I did. I thought I would be seeing a well respected Dr. Instead I got this. So my suggestion to Mayfield is to train all NPs' and FNPs' to follow the same guidelines with what to tell patients. And while at, teach them how to tone down the arrogant attitudes. Simple search reveled this answer: Yes, it is possible to develop hives on your face and neck two weeks after a steroid shot, likely due to a delayed allergic reaction, either to the corticosteroid itself or the anesthetic used, as mentioned on this Swiss Medical Weekly page. While many side effects are immediate, delayed hypersensitivity reactions can occur, say this article from Johns Hopkins Medicine and this article from UMass Memorial Health. Contact your doctor immediately to evaluate this reaction, especially if you have swelling, itching, or difficulty breathing, suggest the NHS and this article from Verywell Health. nhs.uk nhs.uk +4 Why It Can Happen: Although steroids are designed to reduce inflammation, the body can sometimes experience a delayed (Type IV) immune reaction, where immune cells (T cells) react to the medication. Other Potential Causes: While rare, some individuals have an allergic reaction to the preservatives or anesthetics (like lidocaine) sometimes added to the injection, say this article from Arthritis-health.
