Sports med doc: I would recommend a sports medicine physician. The option includes a non surgically trained sports medicine physician who is skilled at evaluating musculoskeletal injuries with a focus on conservative treatment options. If an injury is deemed to require surgery an appropriate referral is made. The other option is an orthopedic sports medicine physician who specialize in surgery.
