As an avid athlete and head team physician at the University of Washington, I have a great deal of interest and expertise either personally or professionally working with athletes in skiing, cycling, rugby, windsurfing and NCAA team sports including football, soccer, volleyball, tennis, swimming, track, baseball, softball, and gymnastics.
