Get to know Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Constantine G. Economus, who serves patients in Ohio.

A devoted obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Economus has been in private practice for more than 20 years, seeing patients at the offices in Youngstown and Salem, Ohio. He brings his experience and knowledge with him every step of the way in treating each patient, and is proud to have patients and staff who are still with him from his very first day of practice. 

“The best thing we have in modern medicine is options, and it is my job to explain every option so that you are informed and together we can make a treatment decision that suits you best!” 

In addition to having over 25 years of experience in the delivery room, Dr. Economus provides personalized care and compassion to every mom, dad, and family. His staff brings their expertise both in the office and in the hospital: many staff members also have years of experience in the labor and delivery room. 

A proud graduate of The Ohio State University College of Medicine, it is there that Dr. Economus became interested in the study of obstetrics and gynecology. His training there prepared him for his residency at St. Elizabeth Hospital in his hometown of Youngstown. Upon completion of his residency, he chose to stay home to care for those in the town where he was born. 

Distinguished as a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG), the doctor is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The ABOG is a non-profit organization that provides board certification for practicing obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States and Canada.

With a personalized approach to patients’ needs, Dr. Economus and his staff make it a point to achieve the highest patient satisfaction. Dr. Economus’ grandfather, who also graduated from The Ohio State University College of Medicine, told him to always treat your patients as you would want your family members to be treated!

Practicing medicine in Ohio, he is affiliated with Mercy Health-St. Elizabeth Boardman Hospital, Mercy Health-St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, Salem Regional Medical Center, and Surgical Hospital at Southwoods.

Obstetrics and Gynecology is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties. An obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, is a healthcare professional who specializes in female reproductive health.
