When an athlete gets injured, you’ll often find an athletic trainer on the scene. Their hard work is the first line of defense in helping athletes get back in the game.

But they also work around the clock to help athletes avoid injuries in the first place. Trainers - your expertise makes a difference every single day. We see you, and we’re thankful for you.

Happy National Athletic Training Month!

During March Madness, quick cuts and fast breaks put serious stress on ankles and knees. Sports medicine doctors play a critical role in treating injuries and reducing risks.

We’re hoping everyone stays healthy all tournament long, and that TCU, SMU, or one of the other Texas schools wins it all!

“I had my left foot reconstructed 10 years ago… It was a long recovery which I had expected. There was a hospital stay and then a series of hard casts. Driving to Dallas was not fun either. So, when my right foot started to flatten out more & push my toes to the right causing several falls, I knew it needed to be reconstructed also. I knew my Dallas doctor was semi-retired and the Dallas traffic would only be worse, so I started looking closer to home for a foot surgeon.. I found Dr. Stewart… He was direct, answering all my questions & did not rush. There had been some advancements in this surgery over 10 yrs. There was no hospital stay, only 1 hard cast, and very little pain. It was a long recovery just like the last time. When an older person is in a chair or scooter for months the leg muscles get weaker. My surgery was at the end of Dec 2024. By July I went on a trip with my granddaughter! Since then I have spent a lot of time in the yard, trimming bushes, planting flowers, etc. Being able to wear sandals again is also a plus! I really appreciate the skill and patience of Dr. Stewart & all the staff at AOA (especially Pablo).” -V.J.

“Prior to going to Dr. Freese, I struggled a lot with pain and discomfort in my daily life due to my shoulder. When I had appointments with him, he was always extremely helpful, informative in an easy-to-understand way, and I feel he always had my best interest in mind to get me back to doing all the things I loved the most! All these qualities in a doctor were so comforting and what I, as a patient, wanted and appreciated. I loved flying airplanes, but the state of my shoulder bothered me in very simple tasks. Dr. Freese had me flying again and able to do my basic daily tasks within 3 months after surgery! During the entire process, he answered every question and concern, and I never once had a doubt in him. I am so grateful and happy with the results I had with Dr. Freese.” -A.M.
