Mission & History

MISSION

The mission of Southwest Sports Medicine & Orthopaedics is to provide the highest quality of both surgical and non-surgical care for the injured athlete and active adults.

HISTORY

Southwest Sports Medicine & Orthopaedics was founded in 2003 by Jon M. Ellis, M.D. The practice was started with the goal of providing advanced treatment of sports related injuries to athletes of all levels in the Central Texas area. In the fall of 2005, David E. Haynes, M.D., joined the practice after completing a fellowship in sports medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. Since then, Dr. Chris Miars and Dr. Corbett Boone, primary care sports medicine specialists, have joined the practice. They allow Southwest Sports Medicine to offer comprehensive sport medicine care; this includes services such as concussion management, pulmonary function testing, and exercise induced asthma diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Miars and Dr. Boone have also trained in musculoskeletal ultrasound that provides improved in-office diagnostic capabilities as well as minimally invasive office treatments.
