Dealing with several tri training related injuries and want to find a doctor with “real” sports medicine experience in New York. Know of anyone?
Dr. Roc Positano, on 72nd and York. Podiatrist, has worked with alot of elite athletes (knicks, nets, giants, jets…get it?). Great guy, very smart and passionate. built me both cycling and running orthodics. Happy Friedman, the Columbia U. Cycling coach works with him. I dont have his number, but call 411 and you can get it.
I’d suggest that you call Dr. Jordan Metzl at the Hospital for Special Surgery. He’s a non-surgical guy, experienced Ironman and marathoner, a very good doc and very nice guy. He takes athletes seriously and only takes the safe “just rest it for a few weeks” approach as a last resort. 212 606 1678.
Good luck.

Thanks for the physican recomendations. I do not think they will take my insurance but I have yet to hear a definitive word. Looking forward to a good pair of orthodics, a healthy summer, and some new PRs.
