Who we see
- The club and school athlete — ACL tears, meniscus injuries, growth-plate fractures, overuse. Conroe ISD sidelines to select-team tournaments.
- The weekend warrior — the pickup-game knee, the golf shoulder, the pickleball everything. Being 45 shouldn't retire you.
- The endurance athlete — runners and triathletes with injuries that "rest" never fixes. Treated by a surgeon who's finished four Ironmans himself.
The injuries we treat every week
Sports medicine is the diagnosis, repair, and rehab of injuries to muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints — with one goal: return to play, safely and fully. Most sports injuries don't need surgery. When yours does, you want it done by hands that do it constantly.
- Knee
ACL & meniscus
Reconstruction and repair — including the BEAR implant, which helps your own ACL heal instead of replacing it, for the right candidates. Return-to-play testing before you're cleared, not just a calendar date.
- Shoulder
Rotator cuff, labrum, instability
The throwing shoulder, the swimmer's shoulder, the "I can't sleep on that side" shoulder — arthroscopic repair when needed, aggressive rehab always.
- Elbow & ankle
The connectors
Tennis elbow, UCL injuries, ankle sprains that never healed right, and the stress injuries endurance athletes know too well.
- Youth
Growing athletes
Growth-plate fractures and overuse injuries need different decisions than adult injuries. We make them every week — and Saturday hours in Spring mean you don't wait for Monday.
Return to play is a plan, not a guess
Surgery is the short part. The comeback is surgeon, therapist, and athlete working one plan — and ours work in the same buildings, on the same chart. Strength benchmarks, movement testing, sport-specific milestones: you get cleared when your body says so, and you know exactly where you are the whole way.
The proof
Five of our physicians are fellowship-trained in sports medicine, our co-founder consults for the US Men's National Soccer Team, and one of our surgeons covered MLB and NHL teams in fellowship. Two decades on Montgomery County sidelines — and counting.
