Staff
ASM Team
Austin Sports Medicine is very proud of the patient care that we offer. This would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our entire staff.
Physician Assistants
A certified Orthopaedic Physician Assistant (OPA-C) or Orthopaedic Technician (OT-C) will assist each of the doctors in the office and surgery. The OPA-C is a professional physician extender who has met the criterion set forth by the National Board of Certification of Orthopaedic Physician Assistants. Each OPA-C maintains certification by complying with the bylaws of the NBCOPA. (www.asopa.org)
The OPA-C is involved in patient care every step of the way, and serves as the primary communication link between patient and physician. The OPA-C is a vital part of patient care.

Our licensed physical therapists have Master's Degrees in Physical Therapy and years of clinical experience, caring for patients with orthopaedic injuries and issues. They will teach you how to take care of yourself by showing you how to do exercises and how to use your body properly to gain strength and mobility and prevent recurring injury.
