“No athlete has ever regretted sitting out one more week. Plenty regret going back early.”

About

Dr. Ellery runs our adolescent and sports clinics. He coached high school track for six years before medical school, which is why he is unusually firm about return-to-play protocols and unusually good at getting a fifteen-year-old to actually talk.

He handles the bulk of our IHSAA and IGHSAU pre-participation physicals and sees concussion follow-ups within 48 hours of a reported head injury.
