HOW IT WORKS

  • Patients can reach our High-Performance Sports Medicine team through a dedicated website or concierge hotline.

​

  • Upon call receipt, our concierge team verifies the patient’s identity and notes down their specific medical service request.

​

  • The concierge checks the real-time availability of the High-Performance Sports Medicine Team for scheduling.

  • The concierge then confirms the appointment with the patient, offering alternate scheduling options in case of any conflicts.

​

  • Post booking, the patient receives an appointment confirmation and a reminder 24 hours prior to their scheduled visit.

​

  • After the appointment, a follow-up call is conducted to gather feedback and ascertain any further medical needs.

Cynthia U.

“My teenage son had an injury late on a Thursday night recently. We reached out to the professional staff at Sports Academy and they got us in touch with the HPSMT immediately. My son had an appointment the very next morning. The staff was courteous. The doctor was great. The doctor recommended physical therapy and my son was back in action soon after. Hands down the best treatment and service you can ask for!”
