Why Dr. Gary Levengood ?

There are several reasons why Gary A. Levengood, M.D., Board Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon and Sports Medicine Doctor is the best choice when selecting an Orthopaedic Surgeon.  His years of experience since the early 1990’s as a Sports Medicine Doctor, his experience as a professional Soccer player and a coach, as well as his exposure to all sports within the community, makes him different from other Orthopedic Doctors.

Early on, Dr. Levengood had been right there with the patients he treats. It was when he tore his ACL that he decided he would pursue sports medicine. He wanted to give people the kind of quality medical care necessary not only to get them better, but beyond better so they could continue to play their sports and remain active for years to come.

Dr. Gary Levengood believes that keeping a practice small and personal will keep his patient’s medical care efficient, and their experience more enjoyable. It is his intent to administer medicine at his own discretion instead of jumping through administrative hoops. Dr. Levengood feels corporate medicine has too much excess in it and keeping himself at the head of his small practice will prevent any unnecessary and often wasteful steps in treating you. He even has his own Physical Therapy Center on-site so his patients are given the meticulous attention they need to heal their sports injuries.

Every patient Dr. Levengood treats will get recommendations based on their particular age, activity level, and other mitigating factors in their life. Because of his exposure to sports early on, he can quickly determine what will be the best solution for each individual.

At Sports Medicine South, Dr. Gary Levengood established a set of core values he and his staff strive for with each patient. These values include respect, professionalism, trust, caring for others, and personalized care for all patients. By meeting these goals and values, Dr. Levengood is certain that Sports Medicine South will be not just a place where patients go to feel better, but a catalyst for patient’s decisions about living a healthier, happier life, so they can continue to live life and feel beyond better.
