Excellence in Pediatric Sports Care
Our surgeon’s team up with Johns Hopkins All Children’s Sports Medicine to provide a multidisciplinary program dedicated to treating sports injuries in children, adolescents, and young adults. This comprehensive center for pediatric and adolescent sports medicine is the only comprehensive sports medicine program in the Tampa Bay area focused solely on the care of young growing athletes.
Johns Hopkins services include primary care sports medicine, orthopedics, emergency medicine, radiology, neurosurgery, nutrition, cardiology, and sports rehabilitation.
Because advanced imaging is frequently needed to evaluate sports injuries, our facilities provide radiology equipment designed to expose patients to less radiation than those in an adult facility. Our state of the art sports rehabilitation gyms include appropriately sized equipment to meet the needs of young athletes of all sizes.
