Sports Medicine Physician; Non - Operative

Most orthopedic practices treat non-operative sports medicine like a waiting room for surgery. Patients cycle through, get conservative care checked off the list, and get handed off to the surgeon. The non-op physician is a step in the process, not a destination.

That'snot what this is.

At Genesis, non-operative careisn'ta consolation prize —it'sa core conviction. We built our entire model around the belief that surgery should be a last resort, not a first option. Which means the sports medicine physician hereisn'ttriaging patients toward the OR.They'rethe main event for a massive, diverse patient population that deserves someone who takes non-surgical care as seriously as the knife.

If you've spent your career believing that — and looking for a platform that actually means it — this is where you practice.

You'll diagnose and treat the full spectrum of acute and chronic sports-related injuries and MSK conditions — across athletes, active patients, and everyone in between — using every non-surgical tool available.

In-Office Procedures

• Ultrasound-guided injections — corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, and beyond

• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and regenerative medicine techniques

• Musculoskeletal ultrasound for both diagnosis and procedural guidance

• Bracing, splinting, and orthotic management

Clinical Care

• Personalized non-surgical treatment plans integrating PT, rehabilitation, injection therapy, and performance programming

• Imaging interpretation — X-ray, MRI, ultrasound — guiding real-time clinical decisions

• Concussion management and return-to-play protocol oversight

• Injury prevention and performance optimization for athletes at every level

Collaboration

• Direct integration with Genesis's in-house orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, and care teams — because the best non-op physician knows exactly when to elevate and how to hand off well

• Sideline and event coverage for local sports teams, schools, and athletic organizations

Beyond the Clinic

• Clinical research and product development opportunities

• Team physician roles with professional sports organizations and local institutions

• Community outreach and sports medicine education
