Our Process

What Happens After You Refer

01

Referral Received

We receive your referral and contact the patient promptly to schedule their initial evaluation — typically within a few days.

02

Comprehensive Evaluation

The patient sees our physician for a thorough history, exam, and imaging review where indicated — with enough time to actually understand the problem.

03

Coordinated Care Plan

The physician coordinates with our rehab and manual therapy team to build a single, integrated plan — and the patient knows what it is and why.

04

Communication & Discharge

You receive documentation after the initial visit. We communicate throughout care when clinically relevant and send a discharge summary upon completion.

Your Referral Stays in Expert Hands

Every plan is directed by a sports medicine physician (MD) — so conservative management is done properly, and surgical referral happens only when it's genuinely the right call.

What You Get Back

We Are Not a Black Box

A common frustration is referring a patient and hearing nothing back. We take a different approach — you'll know what we found, what we recommended, and how the patient is progressing. We're a partner in your patient's care, not a destination.

Initial Evaluation Report

A clear summary of our clinical findings, working diagnosis, and treatment plan — sent to your office after the initial visit.

Ongoing Communication

If the clinical picture changes — imaging reveals something unexpected, conservative care isn't progressing, or surgical consultation becomes relevant — we reach out.

Discharge Summary

At the conclusion of care, you receive a summary of what was done, functional outcomes achieved, and any ongoing recommendations for the patient's long-term health.

Our Standard

We treat referring providers as clinical partners. The patient's care is shared, and communication is part of doing our job well.
