The entire staff at OSSI in Howland were terrific. Lindsay (PTA) and Dr Andrew were so kind and knowledgeable. They really know their stuff I wouldn't trust anyone one else with my family's PT needs.

Lindsay and her colleagues are amazing! One can immediately tell that they are caring, motivated, and genuinely enjoy what they do. They're also wonderful with kids. My daughter is a patient there and has made a lot of progress. I highly recommend!

Highly recommend! Visiting from Arizona and my back went out. I called and was able to see Dr Hospodar the same day! Dr. did a full assessment, adjusted me and gave an exercise plan that gave me complete relief in days. The office was quite busy, I was very impressed with how efficient and effective the staff worked. I received a follow up call the next day to check on my pain - great care given!

A week later I returned for a follow up - another great experience! New assessment and updated exercise plan to build strength in my back. Highly recommend Dr H. and the staff at Ohio Sports and Spine!
