Listening to them is one of the keys to successful treatment. “It helps me understand their injury and find out what they want to get back to doing.” When he’s not seeing patients, Dr. Fowler serves the community as the founding member of Johnson City’s Morning Rotary Club, a board member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes for East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia, and as team physician for several local high school, college and professional sports teams.

How does MediFind rank Sports Medicine Doctors in Tennessee, US?

Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database.
What types of insurance are accepted by Sports Medicine Doctors in Tennessee, US?
Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network.

If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Sports Medicine Doctor search results page.
Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Sports Medicine Doctor?
Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.

- Family history of disease
- List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses
- Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.
- List of questions and concerns
- Your insurance card
You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit.
