“DR. ACUS HAS REALLY GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR ME AND I CAN’T THANK HIM ENOUGH. I LOVE THE GUY DEARLY. HE REALLY IS A SUPER HUMAN.”
Ronald’s Story
Following multiple surgeries on his knees, Ronald has complete trust in Dr. Raymond Acus. Even after relocating from Cuyahoga Falls to Port Clinton, Ohio, Ronald returned to Dr. Acus and Crystal Clinic when he injured one of his knee replacements in a fall, knowing he would get the best possible care for his complex injury. For Ronald, that means he’s able to continue the activities he enjoys, especially fishing with his grandsons on Lake Erie.
“I would absolutely recommend Crystal Clinic Pain Management to my friends and family because I’ve had a great experience, and it helped. Thank you for being professional and friendly.”
Wendy’s Story
Wendy doesn’t let her chronic back pain due to herniated discs prevent her from maintaining an active lifestyle.
“I deal with it. I work out five days a week, but I walk always in constant pain,” she said.
She initially saw a provider at another hospital who referred her to a different pain management office.
“I am so grateful that I found Dr. Frangiamore, who recommended a shoulder resurfacing procedure so that I could continue to play tennis at a high level. Had I ended up with a traditional shoulder replacement, as another surgeon recommended, I wouldn’t be able to do all of the things that I want to do.”
David’s Story
David has been an athlete his entire life, but when previous shoulder injuries threatened to end his love of tennis, he knew it was time to seek help. That’s when he found Crystal Clinic’s Salvatore Frangiamore, M.D., the only orthopaedic surgeon in Northeast Ohio and one of a select group of orthopaedic surgeons across the country who performs the Anika OVOMotionTM shoulder resurfacing procedure. Considered the athlete’s alternative to a traditional shoulder replacement, this “shoulder replacement without limits” has helped David get back on the court and in the gym with improved shoulder strength and range of motion. only nine weeks after surgery.
“I WOULD RECOMMEND CRYSTAL CLINIC TO ANYONE. DR. ETSCHEIDT REALLY LISTENED TO ME AND HELPED ME REACH MY GOAL OF DANCING AT MY DAUGHTER’S WEDDING.”
Judy’s Story
When chronic knee pain held Judy back from activities she once enjoyed, she knew it was time for a knee replacement. Her surgery was such a tremendous success that there was no question she’d return to Crystal Clinic when her other knee needed to be replaced – this time with her daughter’s wedding just around the corner. Not only did her recovery go as smoothly as the first time, she danced the night away at the wedding – only nine weeks after surgery.
“I definitely recommend Crystal Clinic to others […] I have become a stronger, more competitive athlete.”
Anna’s Story

“I’M a firm believer in Crystal Clinic, Having already been a patient […] This SPINE procedure has truly given me my life back.”
Anita’s Story
Anita is back to enjoying an active lifestyle, following spine surgery at Crystal Clinic. Prior to surgery, she was living with debilitating, constant pain, particularly shooting pain in her legs.
“I knew at that point that I wasn’t just a number to her and that I was a person.”
Brett’s Letter
Jennifer/Dan, I wanted to write to you both to tell you about my experience with the Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center and with Dr. Carrie Diulus’ office.
I know that when letters come in, they are not typically positive, but this one is 100% positive.
“All of this kindness […] I can’t express my gratitude enough.”
Maureen’s Story – A Letter of Gratitude
Hello, Mr. Ferry. My name is Maureen. If I may please take a few moments of your time, I would like to write to you about my experience at Crystal Clinic with regards to my (recent) surgery.
My first encounter with an associate was at the sign-in desk on the second floor of the facility. She welcomed me with a smile and proceeded to check me in. Very kind first impression.
“I had amazing doctors, was completely satisfied with […] everyone.”
Sydney’s Story
“For 15 years I did gymnastics. I wanted to say that I finished out those 15 years. The major injury that really held me back when I got to a higher level was […] that I tore my labrum in my hip, and that needed surgery to repair. When choosing a doctor, we did a lot of research […] What patients said about the doctor, how outcomes were, what the rate of success was, and […] I ended up being at the Crystal Clinic, and I had amazing doctors, was completely satisfied with […] every one that worked with me, and ended up having a great time there.”
“Everyone has been absolutely super […] I’m glad no one ever gave up on me.”
Karl’s Story
For stained glass craftsman Karl, being able to do the work he loves isn’t something he takes for granted. While working as a high school custodian in 2009, he shattered the bones in his wrist as he attempted to break up a school fight. The injury was so severe that he wasn’t sure he’d regain enough functionality to continue pursuing his beloved avocation.
“Being able to return to my favorite activities the way I have is a testament to Crystal Clinic’s surgeons.”
Ethan’s Story
When Ethan first felt a twinge of pain in his left hip, he thought nothing of it. As an avid CrossFit and cycling enthusiast in his athletic prime, he was accustomed to experiencing occasional soreness. Despite modifying his workouts, taking over-the-counter medications to relieve pain and inflammation, and seeing his chiropractor, the pain continued to worsen over the next week.
