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!

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!

Dr. Chapman was amazing with my 9 year old daughter! She was really nervous about the appointment but he immediately put her at ease by striking up some kid-friendly conversation. He also evaluated the situation before putting her through x-rays which I appreciated as a parent. He explained his findings clearly to both my daughter and me and took the time to answer all of our questions. I highly recommend Dr. Chapman!!

"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.
