"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.

He is an excellent doctor.
Amazing doctor ! His attitude and personality brightens a room! He made my daughter feel so comfortable and welcomed during her visit. I will always come back to Dr. Chapman for all of our orthopaedics needs.

You can definitely tell he cares. I have an autistic, learning disabled son, and doctor Chapman understands how to approach him, how to talk to him, and how to calm us down so we don’t get overwhelmed. I would recommend him in a heartbeat
Great bedside manner!
Excellent bedside manner, clear, concise and observant remarks. Would definitely recommend Chris to new patients
