NEW PROCEDURE FOR PRESERVING DONOR TISSUE PROMISES TO BE A GAME CHANGER FOR JOINT REPAIR SURGERY

SPORTS MEDICINE
What people often ask me is what sports medicine is? Do I treat professional athletes? Am I limited to the types of people I treat? And for me, the great thing about sports medicine is again that I’m treating people like myself who want to have to work, go for a run, play basketball on the weekends, run around with their kids. So I consider sports medicine helping anyone get back to doing anything they want to do. I’ve been fortunate enough to treat some professional level athletes, Olympic athletes as well as weekend warriors like the rest of us and to me it’s all equally rewarding.
