"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.

Friendly and right to the point. Recommend!
Very knowledgeable. He communicated so well to my son what was going on and he made my son feel at ease.
My 5 year old broke his wrist and I couldn’t get an urgent appointment with an orthopedic doctor. I went to Dr. Chapman as a walk in and we were in and out within an hour. He saw my kid, was kind, thorough and made him feel safe as he answered all of our questions. He casted his wrist during that first visit and scheduled a follow up. The entire office staff was kind and welcoming. Such a pleasant experience, would definitely recommend.
Very kind, compassionate and caring doctor. Him and his nurse Lily were great with my daughter on getting her treated for her arm fracture
Very attentive and good bedside manner!!
Great doctor. Humble and knowledgeable!
Super nice and great with my daughter
Very good doctor
Dr.Chapman was great! He made the scary situation of my daughter breaking her arm much more calm . He explained everything to us so well and immediately put us at ease . Absolutely great with kids. Highly recommend!
Dr. Chap is excellent with kids and knows his stuff! Great personality and takes time to carefully examine the injury and make a medical decision to benefit the child. He's my go-to for any ortho needs!!! A+ in my book
