"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.

Great orthopedic doc. Kind, knowledgeable, and understanding of each situation. So glad we found him.
Had to take one of my other children to see him for a sports related injury. Thankfully she was given the best news of only 2 weeks of restrictions!! Dr. Chapman was wonderful in listening to my daughter & explaining to her what she needed to do in order to heal correctly & get back to her passion with only missing one competition. Best News she could have gotten! You have no idea how much that meant to her! Thank you
He is personable and has a great bedside manner. His treatment plans are very realistic and takes the time to answer our questions.
Warm, comfortable environment with kids. Takes time to answer all questions, concerns. Very knowledgeable and compassionate care. We’ve been seeing him for years do our little and teen athletes. Wouldn’t see anyone else
