Sports Medicine, the reason we were founded, is a very important aspect of our practice.  We have The board certified and fellowship trained physicians, three surgical and one non-surgical, who treat athletes and everyday patients from all walks of life.  Even though someone may not be an athlete, we treat their injuries in a manner similar to the sports injuries of our professional or collegiate athletes.

Many patients have arthritic or degenerative knee and hip joints or have suffered traumatic injuries to their knee or hip.  At, SMGOA, we provide the latest and most up-to-date technology and techniques available to treat and manage their injuries and/or conditions.  If necessary, we may perform total knee or hip replacements, or maybe knee or hip revisions, to help restore an individual’s quality of life by decreasing pain and increasing their functional ability and activities of daily living (ADL’s).  Robert Fada, MD is our Director of Joint Replacement and Revision.

Paul DeGenova, DO, Director of Spinal Care and Surgery, treats patients that are experiencing orthopaedic back pain and/or other spinal conditions.  He uses various non-surgical treatment options and, if deemed necessary, spinal surgery.    These treatments help decrease pain and increase mobility, both of which can be very debilitating when dealing with spinal problems and conditions.  By decreasing pain we can help a patient continue an active lifestyle, return to work, or successfully resume their activities of daily living (ADL’s).

The shoulder is a complex, multi-plane joint that can be injured suddenly or over time with repetitive motions or stress.  Our board certified and fellowship trained physicians, treat many different conditions and injuries of the shoulder with non-surgical treatments and rehabilitation and when necessary, surgical intervention.  Our sports medicine physicians who specialize in injuries and conditions of the shoulder include Ray Tesner, DO, Randy Wroble, MD, Rod Comisar, MD, and Tom Rossi, MD.
