Who I care for

The athletes and active people I work with.

On the sideline, in the training room, and in clinic. The goal that matters is getting you back to what you love.

01

Recreational & masters athletes

Runners, cyclists, lifters, golfers, tennis players: staying strong in your sport, and keeping at it as the years add up.

02

Combat & strength athletes

BJJ, boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, and the barbell crowd. Care from a physician who trains, and a member of USA Boxing and the Association of Ringside Physicians.

03

High school & collegiate

From varsity to Division I. Precise diagnosis, return-to-play, and prevention that protects performance and eligibility.

04

Professional & elite athletes

Careers measured in availability. Evidence-based management focused on getting and keeping you competition-ready.

05

Active adults & working people

Parents, laborers, and anyone who moves for a living: function-first care so daily life and work stay strong.

Clinical focus

Non-operative sports medicine, from diagnosis to procedure.

01

Diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound

Real-time, dynamic evaluation of tendons, muscles, ligaments, and nerves in the room, with X-ray or MRI added when deeper structures, joints, or bone need a closer look.

02

Ultrasound-guided injections

Image-guided injections and aspirations for joints, tendons, and bursae, placed precisely under direct visualization.

03

Orthobiologics & PRP

A growing interest area, approached honestly through the evidence: what it supports, for whom, and what it doesn't.

04

Sports & MSK injury care

Non-operative diagnosis and management across every joint: sprains, strains, tendon and overuse injuries.

05

Concussion & sideline care

Assessment and return-to-play, informed by marathon, collegiate, and high-school event coverage.

06

Prevention & performance

Load management and movement strategy for durable results, so you keep doing what you love for longer.

Full circle

Home teams.

Two schools shaped this path. Today, as a fellow, Dr. Gonzalez is back on their sidelines as a team physician. Care with roots in the same hallways.
