Our sports medicine clinic

If you or a family member becomes injured while participating in a sport, it's important you see an orthopedist who not only knows how to treat you, but can help get you moving again in a timely manner. Our sports medicine experts do exactly that. We ensure you receive high-quality, evidence-based care every step of the way, from diagnosis through recovery.

Minimally invasive orthopedic care

Our physicians specialize in diagnosing, treating and managing sports injuries of the bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments. To reduce healing time and scarring, we always take the least invasive approach to treatment, using more conservative treatments whenever possible, such as joint injections and braces.

Joint replacement surgery

If your joint pain continues after noninvasive treatments, your doctor may recommend joint replacement surgery. Our board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons use advanced technology and minimally invasive techniques when performing joint replacement surgery to restore your function and minimize your downtime.

Rehabilitation and physical therapy

After an injury, it's important to avoid rushing through the healing process. Our physical therapists not only guide your body through its recovery, but also help prevent reinjury from occurring in the future. A team of orthopedic and sports medicine specialists will work one-on-one with you to ensure you receive the care you need to restore your strength, function and flexibility while also reducing your pain.
