Finding an appropriate physician

Medical Q&A [Moderated]

Hi,

Long time fan of BBM, thanks for all the work you guys do!

How does one go about finding a physician that can really deal with training injuries, particularly persistent(5+ year) injuries? I have a buddy that’s done the PCP -----> sport medicine PCP ----> PT -----> Ortho ----> surgery referral path 3 times only to not do the surgery and just train until the pain resolves and it takes half a year but it “resolves”. And maybe that’s all that should be done but it would be nice to have someone with actual advice and it seems somewhat hard to find for ortho injuries. Any recommended physicians in the Los Angeles area or a way to find one? I figured just look for one that’s jacked but it’s not like doctors have profile pictures to estimate that from.

Any help or advice appreciated.

Thanks!

Unfortunately we have no recommendations on this. I wish we did.

This is why we set up our own rehab service with individuals we trust.
