About

Dr. Douglas is also one of the team physicians for the Tri-City Valley Cats baseball team.
"I am fascinated by the human body and the musculoskeletal system. That's why I chose sports medicine. My passion is helping people recover from their injuries and improve their pain so they can get back to life and enjoy the activities they love. I also try to treat everyone as an individual and listen to what they have to say. Having been a patient myself from injuries I sustained when I was younger, I know how frustrating it can be when patients don't feel like they are really heard by their physicians. So for me, it is a priority to listen to my patients so they feel heard and so that we can ensure a full and effective care plan for the treatment of their injuries."
