Tips From the Training Room
“Tips From the Training Room”, Towson Sports Medicine’s popular feature on High School Sports Scene, will be returning for another season. High School Sports Scene is a bi-monthly program aired on The Education Channel, Comcast Channel 73, which highlights interscholastic sports in the Baltimore County Public Schools. The program’s creator and one of its hosts, Randy Dase, is happy to have the sports medicine information segment back for a 12th year. “Tips from the Training Room” offers quality information that parents and students need to know. Towson Sports Medicine’s commitment has given the show a lot of credibility and notoriety.” John Lopez, Towson Sports Medicine Director, is proud to continue the program. “Tips from the Training Room” has been a good way to pass along sound sports medicine and athletic healthcare information to athletes and parents in the area. This commitment goes along with the athletic training services we began providing to the Baltimore County Public School System 15 years ago.”
Dear Mr. Linz,
My son, David, injured himself skateboarding. I recalled that I had been referred to Orthopaedic Associates years ago, and decided to try calling your office. Rob Hess’ professional and reassuring manner put David at ease. I continued to experience prompt, professional care for my son through each step of the diagnostic process. From x-ray personnel to receptionist, each person we encountered was pleasant and professional. In a day when medicine in many places seems to be directed more by cost than patient need, it was truly a blessing to receive treatment at Orthopaedic Associates.
Sincerely,
Robin W. Svec
