The LifeBridge Health Sports Medicine Institute

The LifeBridge Health Sports Medicine Institute is a game-changer for athletes both on and off the field. Led by Craig Bennett, M.D., a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with fellowship training in sports medicine, and Andrew Guidry, M.D., a expert on concussions and traumatic brain injury, the program takes a team approach, working with specialists across the continuum of care. Our unique program combines the best neurologic and orthopedic care for athletes at all levels of their sport.

The team at the LifeBridge Sports Cardiology Center—led by Sunal S. Makadia, M.D., FACC, a board-certified, noninvasive cardiologist—treats athletes of all abilities (ages 17 and older) and people in highly active occupations for known or previously undiagnosed cardiovascular conditions.

We believe that caring for athletes starts before their injury, and continues on well after. Our multidisciplinary team of providers help athletes avoid injuries, such as ACL tears and concussions, with proper technique, sport-specific strength analyses, and speed and strength training assistance as needed. If injuries occur, we work with your team’s athletic trainers and coaches to provide a personalized plan of care from diagnosis to return to play and beyond.

We offer an advanced neurologist-led concussion program, expert orthopedics, physical therapy, sport-specific athletic training and more.
