The increasing complexity of medicine and the emphasis on “exercise is medicine” has created demand for physicians with advanced knowledge and skills in addressing the needs of athletes and the active population. 

Houston Methodist Willowbrook Hospital has recognized this need and recruited an elite group of physicians who specialize in the care of this population, and their growing need for primary and specialized sports medicine care. 

Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine has the largest group of Primary Care Sports Medicine physicians in Texas. We have created a place where active people of all ages can come and receive the vast majority of their health care needs.
