I have severe lower back problems because I was injured while serving in the US Army from 1982-1992…read moreand I chose OIO for help. I was a patient of Doctor InYang who just leaves the practice. Ive been with this medical facility for approximately 3 years and have had numerous MRI'S, X-rays facet joint injections, radio ablation etc. Kathy is the manager who did absolutely NOTHING to arrange for another doctor to take over for INYANG. I will not go back to this facility ever again because the staff hate their jobs and it's very easy to tell. The place is old and dated and the employees match the facilities.

Disappointing. I shattered knee cap and torn a tendon on a Friday evening (Dec 20th after 9 pm)…read more I went to St. Rita's in Lima, Ohio and found out that they do not have orthopedic surgeons on staff. So I went to the closest place for Orthopedics which was Ohio Institute for Orthopedics (OIO) and found out they were closed. In fact, since it was a holiday week, they were closed for the next 6 days (they opened Dec 26)! So I had to wait 6 days (without the ability to walk) to get help. Looking back, I should have gone to Ft. Wayne, IN. They (OIO) opened at 8 am Thursday and I was first in line. Thank God they admitted me and operated on me that day. I was discharged in the evening and the surgeon had already left for the day. I was hoping to talk with him about the procedure, steps forward, physical therapy, dos and don'ts, etc. The nurse assured me the surgeon would call me the next day so he could answer my questions. The next day, I received a call from a nurse who could not answer any of my questions. They just said I had a follow up in 20 days. 20 days?!?! So no physical therapy; no movement, no information for 20 days? Very disappointing!

Kindred Hospital located in Lima, Ohio, is the best kept secret. When I was told that my patient…read morewas being transferred to Kindred Hospital, I was apprehensive; however, my concerns soon vanished when I met Cindy Morris, the respiratory therapist in ICU. She knew exactly what to do for my patient who was suffering from pneumonia. She was very kind, patient, and compassionate. Then along came the ICU nurses: Chris, Shawn, Shannon, Jeanne, Angela H., and Stacey. They were great! The doctors, dietician, wound specialists, Dawn, the rehab tech, aides/techs Dazzman, Peggy, Melissa,and Lavaris all worked together as a team. Angela Moore, the Case Management director, was superior; she was the person I contacted daily; she was never too busy to lend a helping hand.. The maintenance personnel were also excellent and should be recognized for their hard work and dedication. There were several other nurses and respiratory therapists who gave quality care, but they did not work with my patient as much as those mentioned. The highly trained and caring staff at kindred Hospital gives hope to patients who have no hope. Thank God for Kindred Hospital and all the people who work there!
