Care built around your child
Care built around the whole child
Young athletes are still growing. Their bones, joints, strength, training load, school demands, sleep, and emotional health all affect recovery and performance. Dr. Dahab’s pediatric and sports-medicine training supports in-office evaluation of many common injuries, overuse concerns, activity-related pain, and possible concussions.
Families may also seek help with difficulty returning after an injury or questions about safe participation. A visit may include a detailed history, focused examination, and a plan for treatment, activity modification, follow-up, imaging, or referral when needed.
How this care can help
Start with the concern. We will help organize what comes next.
Overuse concerns
Consider growth, training load, recovery, and repetitive activity together.
Concussion concerns
Evaluate symptoms and organize safe school, activity, and follow-up guidance.
Return-to-activity planning
Build an individualized progression when the examination and recovery support it.
A clear next step
A clear plan for what comes next
A sports physical screens for safe participation. A sports medicine visit evaluates a specific injury, symptom, performance limitation, or return-to-play question. Tell the scheduling team about active symptoms so the right amount of time can be reserved.

Helpful before your visit
Questions families often ask.
Schedule on MyChart, or call our office if you’re unsure which appointment best fits your child’s needs.
Should my child stop playing before the visit?
If activity causes significant pain, changes movement, worsens symptoms, or raises concern for concussion or serious injury, stop the activity and call for guidance.
Does every injury need imaging?
No. Imaging depends on the history, examination, and clinical concern. The clinician will discuss whether it is useful.
Can Sapphire provide a return-to-play note?
The clinician can document medically appropriate restrictions or clearance after an adequate evaluation. Clearance cannot be promised before the visit.
