As part of the UMass Memorial Musculoskeletal Center of Excellence, the highly regarded UMass Memorial Sports Medicine staff in Worcester features an all-star team of fellowship-trained specialists. Fellowship-trained means that a physician has completed four years of medical school, five years of an orthopedic residency and one year of in-depth specialty training in a specific area in which the physician practiced under the guidance of a top orthopedic specialist.
While we’re best known for treating professional and college athletes, we also specialize in pediatric sports medicine, treatment of active seniors and the wellness of everyday athletes.
