Dr. George and his staff have been outstanding in assisting me. He conducted a thorough exam and answered all my questions. From the moment he walked in, I knew I had found my new primary care provider. He took the time to get to know me and address any concerns I had. After my lab work, he followed up with the results and provided a comprehensive game plan. I highly recommend visiting him for all your healthcare needs.

Sports physicals help identify any health conditions or injuries that could pose a risk during sports activities. They’re required by most schools and sports organizations to ensure safe participation.
While both include a general health assessment, sports physicals specifically evaluate a child’s fitness level and identify any risk factors that could impact their athletic performance. They focus on flexibility, strength, and endurance as it relates to physical activities.
Typically, sports physicals are required annually before each sports season begins. Check with your school or sports organization for specific requirements, as they may vary.
Bring any required forms from your child’s school or sports program, along with a list of any medications your child is taking. It’s also helpful to bring information on past injuries or any current health concerns.
If any health concerns are identified, our provider will discuss them with you and may recommend further evaluation or treatment. In some cases, adjustments or limitations in sports participation may be advised for safety.
Sometimes, yes, but it depends on the organization’s requirements. Sports physicals focus on specific areas related to athletic performance, so it’s a good idea to check with the school or program if they require a dedicated sports physical.
