Despite every precaution, sometimes sports- and activity-related injuries do occur. The team at Sideline Orthopedics and Sports will work to get you back to an active lifestyle, safely and comfortably.
  • Patient Forms

    We understand you want to have your office visit run as smoothly as possible. To help facilitate this process, we have provided our patient forms online for you to download and complete before your visit.

  • Office Policies

    Our office is committed to providing patients with timely, quality care. In order to do so, we request that you arrive on time and make every scheduled appointment. We feel it is important for you to understand our policies as they relate to cancellations, no shows and late arrivals.

    New Patients

    If you are new to our practice, we ask that you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your appointment time and have your new patient forms completed. This early arrival allows our staff to efficiently perform its task of registering you into our systems.

    To ease this process, click on the “Patient Forms” tab to access forms you can download, print and fill out prior to your appointment.

    Existing Patients

    If you require X-rays at your next appointment, please arrive 30 minutes prior to your visit to have those taken at our office.

    Follow-Up Visits

    For follow-up visits, we ask that you arrive on time. Should you arrive more than 15 minutes late, your appointment may be moved to a work-in status or rescheduled.

    Cancellations

    If you have a scheduled appointment time and need to reschedule or cancel, please notify our office at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. We will gladly reschedule you a more convenient appointment time. No shows and cancellations made less than 24 hours before a scheduled appointment time may be subject to a cancellation charge.

    Emergencies

    All emergencies are seen in a timely fashion, based upon the urgency of your problem. In a true emergency, it is best to go to the emergency room at your nearest hospital. The emergency room staff will contact us or the physician on call. You have the right to request direct care from our physician when in the emergency room.

    Medication Refills

    Please call the office at 817-960-9120 during normal business hours for prescription refills and have your pharmacy fax your medication refill request to our fax line, 817-466-7289. Please allow 24-48 hours for us to complete your request.

  • Concussion Management

    The best defense is a good offense when it comes to a sports concussion. Any athlete suspected of having a concussion should be removed from play for the remainder of the game, and a medical evaluation should be performed by a physician prior to returning to play. The best guideline in seeking medical treatment is to note symptoms that worsen, and behaviors that are unusual.

    Know The Signs Of A Concussion

    You should seek immediate medical assistance if any of these signs are visible:

    • Worsening headache.
    • Marked drowsiness.
    • Confusion, inability to recognize people and places.
    • Vomiting.
    • Seizures.
    • Unsteadiness.
    • Slurred speech.
    • Bleeding or clear fluid coming from the ears/nose.
    • Pupils unequally dilated.

    Because younger athletes’ brains are still developing, they often need more time to recover from a concussion, and the risk of a prolonged injury is greater if they return to the field too quickly.

    Providing Safe And Effective Concussion Management

    At Sideline Orthopedics and Sports, our goal is to return athletes to play as quickly and safely as possible after concussion.

    Our program is aimed at:

    • Educating athletes, coaches, athletic trainers, and parents about the symptoms of concussion, and how best to manage them.
    • Providing the diagnosis, testing, and follow-up care necessary to prevent and treat concussion injuries.

    We offer Baseline ImPACT™ Testing before an injury, and rapid scheduling of appointments for individuals with suspected concussions. ImPACT testing is used by nearly every professional sports team, as well as college programs and more than 3,000 school districts nationwide. This online test establishes an athlete’s baseline neurocognitive function and includes balance testing.

    Following a concussion, the athlete takes the test again, allowing the computer system to calculate if there’s been a change to his or her cognitive efficiency. An ImPACT assessment can help us determine when it is safe for an athlete to return to play after a concussion.

  • Insurance Information

    We accept most major insurance plans and various forms of payment in addition to an athlete’s secondary insurance. We believe in making it easy for you to focus on maintaining your good health and receiving quality orthopedic care.

    Insurance co-payments, co-insurance and deductibles will be collected at the time of service. If you are a self-pay patient (uninsured), we require payment in full at the time of services. If you are unable to do this, please call our office to discuss payment arrangements. A discounted service fee will be extended to all self-paying patients who pay in full at the time of service.

    Please call us at 817-801-1503 if you have any questions.

  • Pay a Bill

    In order to use the payment portal to pay your bill, please have your statement and billing information readily accessible. For question or payments by phone, call us at 800-890-6034.
