When to seek a sports medicine evaluation:

  • Injured area looks crooked or has lumps and bumps (other than swelling) 
  • Unable to walk without pain

  • You see redness or red streaks spreading from injury
  • Pain, swelling, or redness over injured area
  • Decreased performance

Insurance Information for Youth Athletes

Most insurers do not require an official referral from a primary care physician for injuries sustained in athletic competition.

In addition to your primary insurance, you most likely have “Secondary” or School sponsored insurance plan (this is mandatory for all high-school and college athletes and required by your Athletic Association). This secondary insurance plan will help to cover any additional expenses not covered by your primary insurance plan. To assist you and for your convenience, we will file both primary and secondary insurance claims.

What Our Patients Are Saying

I believe he’s Doctor that cares about his patients and he’s a very smart and I believe he’s a very good person. I’m glad he’s my Doctor. Thank you!

Rudy

I felt he was really great on explaining and the risk and helpful, because I really don’t care to take pain meds but I am lacking sleep so bad , he didn’t try to get me to take all day just something to help me get some much needed sleep.

Linda
{

Dr. Watson is an excellent choice for all of your orthopedic needs. Most importantly, he is a great listener and involves you in the treatment process. His knowledge of orthopedics and even beyond his specialty is superior. He makes appropriate referrals when needed. I have never felt more confident being under a doctors care.

David

1 year after hip replacement check-up- all good. Feels and moves like it was my own natural hip when I was young. I’m pain free and back to doing what ever I want- except restrictions of no high impact. Great job Dr. Rion! The man is pretty cool!

Joseph

Dr. Correa will answer all your questions and concerns. Truly a great doctor that will put you at ease. Very easy to talk to, down to earth doctor and explains everything.

Dr. Rion is a very professional yet personable doctor. He really cares about his patients and even gave me a sample of medication which my insurance wouldn’t pay for. He’s a keeper.
