Mission Statement

specialists in
the unique aspects of sports medicine. The doctor will maintain
competence in
their primary specialty and will have expertise in medicine as it applies
to
the exercising individual. He/she will be knowledgeable about the unique
needs
of athletes and will the patient as a whole.

individual

recreational,
industrial, competitive, professional or elite level.
