"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.

Dr.Chapman was the same in the post op visit as he was in the hospital. Very concerned about my Son. He made sure to explain everything that I needed to do for my Son at home.
Dr. Chapman is a wonderful provider.
He’s very kind
We saw Dr. Chapman for my daughter’s ankle. Him and his staff were all so friendly and really took the time to go over everything with us. We were in and out of there in no time. I highly recommend!
So professional and made the while process less stressful for my son. Thank You
Excellent doctor. He is very thorough and explains everything in layman terms. Dr. Chapman also is very personable with both adults and children.
Dr. Chapman is always kind and understanding. We have seen him twice this year & he knows exactly how to help. He is very knowledgeable on children’s bones & growth. He can pinpoint the area of pain immediately just by looking. He listens & encourages my son to ask questions. He is a great doctor!
Explained my daughter’s injury and treatment plan so we can understand. Made us feel comfortable. Didn’t rush us, took time for proper care.
