Who would know better how to treat active women of all
ages and levels of sports activity than the ONS Women's Sports Medicine Center
physician and physical therapy team?
In addition to being experts in their fields as orthopedic
surgeons and sports medicine specialists, the ONS Women’s Sports Medicine
Center team is comprised of current and former athletes and fitness enthusiasts
who know first-hand what it takes to train and excel in a sport. (In fact, Dr.
Katie Vadasdi, an orthopedic surgeon, is an accomplished tri-athlete who has
completed two Ironman competitions, is an alpine climber and has ascended Mount
Kilimanjaro, Mount Rainier and the Grand Teton.)
