Meet the team physicians for the Evansville Thunderbolts!

 On a daily basis the Sports Medicine surgeons at OA see patients in office and in surgery, but during hockey season, they’re eager to get to the Ford Center to care for the Thunderbolts.  The Sports Medicine team at OA, under the leadership of Dr. Gary Moore, provides coverage at every home game.  They see players before they hit the ice, and watch closely throughout the game to provide on-site care when needed.  They follow each player through the season, ensuring these professional athletes are healthy and ready to compete. 

For decades,  OA has provided care for professional athletes in Evansville, and looks forward to supporting the Evansville Thunderbolts in their premier year!
