At Dillon Surgery Center, the sports medicine doctors are the leading experts in the diagnosis and treatment of sports-related injuries and conditions. Sports medicine is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of sports-related injuries and conditions. It's important for all athletes to perform at a high level no matter the sport. Sports-related injuries vary in degrees of severity where the recovery time can be anywhere between a few days to several months.
