He did the surgery, I worked hard at rehab, made it hurt, and I have no pain, no problems at all. The surgery was done at Mercy in Boardman. Everyone there gave me great care. Dr Solmen worked on my big toe years ago. I was limping around with extreme pain. One visit, and he fixed the problem. One follow up visit, done. Recently I had ankle problems. One visit with Dr Solmen, with one follow up, and done. I've used Youngstown Ortho in Howland for rehab on my knee and shoulder replacements. Five stars!

Prior to our area having a children's hospital, I took my 1.5 year old there for a broken collarbone (now 17) - they took amazing care of him. Dr Solmen, the only orthopedic foot and ankle specialist in the area, did a tendon repair on my right ankle several years back. I now see Drs Musser and McElroy for my back. Excellent providers who take the time to explain what is causing the issues, discusses multiple (when possible) treatment options and takes the time answer all my questions. They also have an orthopedic urgent care clinic to help those who've been injured and want to skip the ER. Definitely two thumbs up!

I decided to schedule an appointment with him after being examined by two other doctors who I felt weren't listening to me regarding the issues I was having with my feet. Dr. Ridenour really listened, worked to get a thorough understanding of my condition, and didn't rush to say surgery before trying conservative methods. The surgery that Dr. Ridenour performed (which was different than what the other two doctors were recommending) was successful - every step of the process was clearly explained to me, and Dr. Ridenour didn't mind "all the questions." I would highly recommend him to anyone with foot or ankle issues.

I have been very happy with this facility. I have quite a few very well qualified orthopedic…read moredoctors. Unfortunately I've had to see a few. One for my hand one for my shoulder one for my back one for my knee and one for my hamstring. I hit 55 and my body seems to be having problems now. Lol everyone I've seen has been exceptional. I usually do research who is the most qualified for my problem at the moment And I prefer the younger doctors. I wanna specifically mention Dr. Laskovski And Dr. Scully, I found to be above and beyond. I also want to mention Max and Physical Therapy and doing dry. Needling has been amazing. The receptionist in Hudson for the orthopedic doctors. I believe her name is Cheryl is exceptionally kind and friendly. Unfortunately, the receptionist in the Physical Therapy are not so kind and friendly or helpful.

First let me preface this review by saying I know nobody "wants" to search for a…read moredoctor...especially a surgeon. I get it! I did my research and chose Dr Junko for my ankle issues. He was highly recommended by both past patients, my physical therapist as well as many great reviews online. Surgeon shopping is serious business. After all, this person will be operating on you. You want the best, the most knowledgeable, experienced surgeon to take on this task. But, you also need someone who is compassionate, empathetic, down to earth, approachable and personable. A rarity I know. But, Dr Junko fits my requirements to a "T". My first visit was quickly scheduled. Upon arrival, I was greeted by friendly staff. The office was huge! (Hudson office). Everyone I encountered was professional but personable. I felt very at ease. I met Dr Junko and felt comfortable right away. He listened...this is super important to me. He took the time to explain each of my options completely and thoroughly. I decided to proceed with surgical intervention. At the end of my appointment, I was given prescriptions for my post op equipment and told to call in if I needed or thought of anything else. At check out, I was able to schedule my surgery. I was able to have it done the very next day! Of course I could have scheduled further out but this was great for me. The surgery itself was smooth and I was able to go home the same day. Because of their quickness and efficiency, I was on my way home to recover already having my prescriptions for medications, medical equipment and home going instructions. I am not going to lie, the post op period has been painful but that is to be expected. Not to help matters, I had a 2nd surgery within a couple of weeks after this. So, my situation is slightly different. I also have Lupus which throws a completely different spin on things. But, Dr Junko and his staff were absolutely available, sincere, honest and helpful. I am now 3 months post op from my right ankle and right great toe procedures. I have begun physical therapy and am well on my way to healing. I am very happy with the whole process from start to finish as well as the interpersonal experiences I have had with everyone on staff. I highly recommend Dr Junko. He is an excellent physician with a great bedside manner.

I came home from removal of splint and incision broke open in the boot. Worst of all he just sent me to a pain management doc he never met, after saying there was nothing he could do. He said "trust me in 7-8 months you will get out of bed and it will be better". Ten months later still in pain, limping and going to PT. He gave up and quit instead of helping me fix this.His staff can't do things like send in prescriptions,call back or send documents. I have foot drop and need a brace to walk and take lots of gabapentin. Like another review I went to Cle clinic and had much better experience. Junko gave me pain,problems more expenses and a possible lifelong injury. My advice stay away from Junko he should NOT be a doctor!!!
