"As a pediatrician and sports medicine specialist, I take care to allow the body to heal itself in the least invasive way. Working with a young mostly healthy patient population, I emphasize healthy alternatives to surgery such as therapy and rehabilitation. I am comfortable working with sports related injuries such as strains, sprains and even simple fractures."
I am working on my ninth year in non-surgical orthopedics and sports medicine and have lots of experience caring for many of the great families in the surrounding areas.

So knowledgeable and easy to talk to!
He was super gentle and very informative. My daughter was very scared as this was her first broken bone he cheered her up and fixed her cast so her arm heals correctly! Highly recommend!
Friendly, kind and patient. He saw my son and answered all our questions.
Fantastic. Great personality and was awesome with my son. I hope that I never have to see him again - but if my son receives another foot injury, Dr. Chapman is who we are going to see!
Dr. Chapman was great. He was very kind, very thorough and happy to answer our questions. We left the appointment feeling much better about my son’s injury and recovery.
Dr. Chapman went above and beyond in his care with my son! It was very reassuring to have a clear understanding of an injury, especially when you’re a nervous Mom! I highly recommend Dr Chapman!
He was very thorough and the appointment was easy going once it was made
Very personable Doctor and answered all the questions we had. Very happy with our experience with this Doctor who we saw for my daughter's broken arm. Thank you!
Dr. Chapman was very thorough in his exam and took the time to address all of our questions and concerns. He had an excellent bedside manner and we never felt rushed. We absolutely plan to use him in the future for what surely won't be the last sports injury we run into!
OUTSTANDING physician and amazing experience! My grandson broke his arm and Dr. Chapman made this visit extremely comfortable for him!
