At the Memorial Sports Medicine Center, our expert team offers specialized care for athletes and highly active people.
Comprehensive Care for Sports Injuries
We offer comprehensive care for our patients. Providers from a variety of specialties, including sports medicine, orthopedic surgery, primary care, and rehabilitation and physical therapy, all work together in one program – the first in Broward and Palm Beach Counties. You’ll receive advanced care for common sports injuries and conditions such as:
Heart conditions
Chest pain, abnormal heart rhythms and other heart conditions can affect your sports performance and even be life-threatening. Our board-certified cardiologist has sports performance experience as a former Division I college athlete himself.
Our cardiologist has done extensive training and research in the cardiac conditions that athletes can have and how these conditions affect athletes and active people. This thorough understanding leads to more effective and successful treatments for our patients.
