Mary Rutan Health has consistently been at the forefront of providing top-tier medical care, mainly through its Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Department. The department is home to a team of highly skilled orthopedic surgeons, each specializing in a unique area, such as hand, spine, trauma, joint replacement and general orthopedic surgeries. This expert team, including Dr. Frank Fumich, Dr. Jason Anane-Sefah, Dr. Meaghan Tranovich, Dr. Ryan McNeilan, and Dr. Steven Haman, ensures comprehensive and expert patient care, instilling confidence in our patients.
Jamie Ross, the wife of Mary Rutan Health’s CEO Chad Ross, confidently chose the Mary Rutan Orthopedic & Sports Medicine team for her back surgery. Jamie’s lower back had been bothering her for several weeks, and earlier this year, the pain was so bad she could no longer walk. After an initial visit to the pain clinic, MRI results showed a badly herniated disk just above her tailbone. At that point, surgery was inevitable. The pain clinic referred Jamie to Dr. Fumich. Jamie said she was relieved when he was able to promptly fit her into his surgery schedule and prescribe medication to make her more comfortable for the few days in between. Jamie said, “I was just hoping to have relief from the excruciating pain, but the outcome was so much better. I was able to walk immediately after the procedure, and my pain was gone.” Her positive experience highlights the department’s capability in handling complex surgical procedures, reinforcing its reputation for exceptional patient care. Elated with her results, Jamie describes the before and after as “night and day.” Dr. Fumich, a renowned orthopedic surgeon at Mary Rutan Health, led the surgical team for this procedure. With years of experience and a focus on innovative techniques, Dr. Fumich and the team ensured a smooth and successful surgery, prioritizing her well-being and recovery. Chad Ross expressed his confidence in Mary Rutan Health's Orthopedic Department, stating, “As someone deeply involved in healthcare, I trust the expertise and dedication of our team. My wife’s positive experience reaffirms my belief in the exceptional care we provide to our community. I tell people all the time that this is the best place to come for care and that I send my own family here. Case in point.” Janet Patton also underwent back surgery at Mary Rutan Health and had solid reasons for choosing the orthopedic surgeon she did. “I wanted to support the hospital and looked into what orthopedics had to offer,” she said. “I was thrilled to learn that Dr. Fumich, an Orthopaedic Institute of Ohio spine surgeon, partners with Mary Rutan Health and provides the skilled level of service needed for my back surgery right here in my community,” Patton said. “This allowed me to use the hospital’s services before, during, and after the surgery.” Janet shared her journey, starting with the debilitating symptoms she experienced before deciding on surgery. “I had pain in my hip and down my leg, along with tingling in my toes. I couldn’t find a comfortable position, had difficulty sleeping, and sitting for any length of time was very uncomfortable,” Janet remembered. The communication and support from her orthopedic surgeon and team significantly improved Janet’s experience. Reflecting on the difference before and after the surgery, she said, “I don’t have the pain I was experiencing before the surgery, and for me, it was a great success.” As Mary Rutan Health continues to expand its services, it remains a pillar of exceptional orthopedic care in the community.
