Skip the drive and traffic!  MOVE Sports and Spine is an online consultation service for your musculoskeletal needs!

Learn why you need telemedicine!

We believe in the following principles:
  • Solutions should be simple.
  • Nutrition and lifestyle over medication.
  • Interventions/testing have a place but should be minimized.
  • More is not always better.
  • How care is delivered matters.

I am a board certified physician in sports medicine and physical medicine & rehabilitation (PM&R.) My clinical interests include biomechanics, rehabilitation medicine, pain science, interventional spine care, electrodiagnostic medicine, musculoskeletal ultrasound, manual medicine, and medical education.

The management of musculoskeletal and spine related injuries is not always clear. Unfortunately, medicine has become quite fragmented where you have to see 2-3 specialists to address your pain. My expertise is understanding how injuries/conditions of bone, muscle, and nerve influence movement. I specialize in looking at your entire musculoskeletal history to make sure you understand your condition and/or treatment options. My typical client has had multiple consultations, imaging studies, injections, and rounds of therapy without a clear understanding about what is going on. They are looking for someone to make sense of their conditions. Your care can be coordinated by video conferencing, secure messaging, or texting.  With telemedicine you have around the clock access to your care through our patient portal. 

When you need care you get me directly.  No insurance authorization.  No putting on hold.  No driving or parking necessary.  Care should be easy.  Period.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my amazing wife, chasing my 2 children, and practicing jiu-jitsu.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is telemedicine?

Telemedicine is the remote delivery of healthcare using secure telecommunication technology.

How common is telemedicine?

There are about 200 telemedicine networks. Over half of US hospitals currently offer telemedicine services.

What are the benefits of a virtual consultation service?

Direct access to care. Better outcomes. No driving or waiting times.

What type of devices do I need?

Video conferencing can be done with a desktop and camera or mobile device. Preferably an iOS or Android mobile device.

Do I need Wifi?

No, but it is highly recommended for a strong signal. In the event there is a bad connection I will call you on your cell phone or land line.

What areas do you service?

We are currently licensed in the state of Virginia to practice. However, we are looking expand where there is a need!

Why don’t you take insurance?

We want to re-establish the doctor-patient relationship. Participating with insurances comes with certain rules that often get in the way of patient care. No referral or prior authorization necessary. Hassle free care!

How does the service work?

After you register in the portal, upload your documents so that I can review them. We will then set up a time to discuss your questions and/or concerns. In that hour, I will educate you about your conditions and treatment options. If there are any follow up questions, feel free to send me an email or call/text.
