Mercy Health — Springfield Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation

Athlete Injury Clinics

The athletic injury clinics will run from 4-6 p.m. every Monday from August 13 through November 5 

The clinics are open to any athletes who have suffered a recent injury. They are staffed by Eric Fester, MD, a fellowship-trained, sports medicine specialist and orthopedic surgeon, as well as certified athletic trainers. On-site X-ray will be available during the clinics.

The clinics are first-come, first-serve and no appointment is necessary. A payment of $10 for service is due before you see the doctor.

Mercy Health will not bill your insurance but asks that you bring your insurance card should you need additional tests.
