OPTIM ORTHOPEDICS TEAM PHYSICIANS

The hallmark of Optim Orthopedics has always been going beyond what’s expected to offer something more. That means not just caring for patients, but caring for the entire community. And one of the most inspiring examples of that ethic for more than a decade has been their commitment to area high school prep sports.

Under the umbrella of the Optim Sports Medicine Program, physicians from Optim Orthopedics are able to deliver unparalleled care to student athletes from 22 high schools throughout Georgia. Whatever the sport, our medical staff is on hand to ensure every athlete receives the utmost care as part of a comprehensive program that addresses treatment, recognition and prevention of injuries as well as issues surrounding heat and hydration.

Whether it’s computerized testing for concussions or proactive approaches that prevent injuries, Optim Orthopedics is proud to help these student athletes excel on the field, while providing the finest care in the Southeast.

Georgia Southern Head Coach

The high level of attention and expertise is backed up by the technological prowess Optim Orthopedics brings to the field. Whether it’s specialized computer testing to assess concussions or biomechanical analysis to observe post-injury changes to a pitcher’s throw, Optim Orthopedics utilizes a host of high-tech treatments in keeping our GSU Eagles healthy.

​

This partnership between Georgia Southern University and Optim Orthopedics goes well beyond the field of play. Optim proudly sponsors a number of events alongside the university, ranging from a patriotic flyover over an Eagles football game to a conference inviting coaches and staff from high schools across Georgia to advance the level of care student-athletes receive. 

​

The Coastal Empire is proud to call the Georgia Southern Eagles our own. And Optim Orthopedics is proud of the work we do to keep our Eagles flying.
