Philosophy of Care

Active people of all ages get injured from time to time. At University Sports Medicine, we treat both competitive and recreational athletes for sports and related injuries. From prevention and training to advanced surgery, our experienced doctors provide comprehensive care for wide range of injuries. It is our goal to get you back on the go as quickly and safely as possible.

With radiology and rehabilitation services conveniently located on-site, orthopaedic specialists work with radiologists, certified athletic trainers, and physical therapists to return patients quickly and safely to their normal activities. At University Sports Medicine, patients receive diagnostic tests and a physician's evaluation on the same day in the same location.

Our Active Women’s Health program is the only sports medicine program specifically for women in the state.
