Have Questions?
We have answers!
No. Although we do help take care of the BSU teams, we see a wide range of patients. We also treat athletes from regional high schools and colleges, along with professional and Olympic athletes. However, most of our patients are individuals from the surrounding region who are involved with recreational and/or fitness activities.
Both are well trained in musculoskeletal medicine. Sports medicine physicians specialize in the non-operative treatment of musculoskeletal sports conditions. Sports medicine orthopedic surgeons are additionally trained in the operative care of these conditions.
Depending on the problem, the majority of injuries can often be successfully treated with a rehabilitation program. Some injuries require more formal physical therapy, while some do go onto surgical intervention. Surgery, however, is always the last resort. We are proud of our conservative treatment protocol and low patient-to-surgery ratio.
We reserve some time each day to deal with emergencies. Our philosophy is to return an individual to their sport or activity as soon as is safely possible. Most appointments are available within 24-48 hours, even if they are not true emergencies.
Depending on the situation, your insurance company or our providers may request a referral. For specific questions about this, feel free to call us or reach out to your insurance company for more details.
No, however, some insurance companies will not pay for your visit without a referral or prescription. For specific questions, contact your employer, benefits administrator, or insurance company.
Certainly not. We always try to find a therapy clinic that is most convenient for you. We have close relationships with several physical therapy clinics in the area that we can refer you to.
There is a designated section marked for ISMI patients. It is located directly in front of our office on the southeast corner of the BSU stadium. Please make sure that you park in the “ISMI” marked spaces to avoid a ticket from Boise State. If a university activity is going on at the time of your appointment, please tell the parking attendant that you have an appointment with us and they will let you through.
