In the Ashtabula clinic, Dr. Picha joins Crystal Clinic orthopaedic surgeons, D. Philip Stickney, M.D. and John Krebs, M.D., and physician assistant, Samantha Meabon. The staff includes several former team members of orthopaedic surgeon William Seeds, M.D., who practiced in Ashtabula for many years.

We are working directly with several employers as their preferred choice for their employees’ orthopaedic care,” said Ferry. “Through these direct-to-employer relationships, we are able to deliver the highest quality care at lower cost, often with no deductibles or co-pays for employees. More importantly, we’re helping them recover faster, so they can get back to the activities they enjoy most as quickly as possible.”
