  • 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

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

{

Everything we discussed made such perfect sense. I am one week in on the keto diet lab. While not cold turkey, I see it and I feel it and I thank you so much. Michelle has actually changed my quality of life. I can’t say enough.

Billie
{

Michelle was outstanding! I left feeling very comfortable leading up to surgery. She was very informative and gave my wife and I answers to our questions prior us having to ask.

Tyrone
{

Adam Brewer, PA-C is friendly easy to communicate with. Knowledge about giving alternatives to my condition other than want to recommend surgery. That’s the kind of physician I prefer to deal with.

Peggy
{

Very attentive to my situation. Understood my concerns and made sure I accomplished all my tasks during my PT. Even suggested alternative crutches should I need them.

Pamela
{

Dr. Rion is very professional and pleasant. He has been doing injections in both my knees for several years. When I have knee replacements, he will certainly be my surgeon of choice.

Sybal
{

Dr. Correa is easy going, and takes his time – he doesn’t make you feel like you are just a number, like so many other doctors out there. He has operated on my twice and I would never go elsewhere.

Karen
{

Michael Stephens is wonderful. He always takes the time to make sure if any of my pain has changed & if the meds are still working. He truly is great at his job.

Christie
{

Lauren Zenker took her time to listen, consider what I said and offer multiple options explaining the potential ramifications of each one. I’m very pleased with her and Dr. Watson’s services.

Garnet
{

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.

Phyllis
{

Krysta is always kind, respectful and very understanding. She listens to your concern and helps you find solutions. She is very honest and let’s you know the pros and cons of your situation. I always request her when I make an appointment.
