A star running back limps off the field after a big hit – and millions of fantasy football fans scour the internet for updates on the injury. A 12-year-old Little Leaguer begs his coach to teach him to throw a curveball – and the parents want answers when the coach refuses. A middle-aged jogger feels a sharp pain in her heel – and she searches for answers on WebMD.

Welcome to sports in the information age. Over 44 million children and adolescents play sports in the United States today. 125 million adults exercise regularly. And almost 200 million Americans are self-professed sports fans. All of them want information, and they want it in a form that is fast, accurate, understandable, and entertaining.

I’m Dr. David Geier. I am an orthopaedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist in Charleston, South Carolina. I provide the information that athletes of all ages and skill levels need through an extensive sports medicine platform.

I strive to provide simple explanations of injuries, treatments, surgeries and other sports medicine topics. If you are a journalist, radio or television host, or producer, you can email me at [email protected] and I will respond directly as soon as possible. Or you can submit your information to me below. Thank you so much for reaching out to me, and I look forward to helping in any way possible!

I hold a board certification from the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery in Orthopaedic Surgery as well as a subspecialty certification in Orthopaedic Sports Medicine.

Currently I serve as the Communications Council Chair for the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Board of Directors. I also serve as Chairman of the Publications committee for the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM). I serve on the Medical Aspects of Sports committee for the South Carolina Medical Association. I have previously served as the Chairman of the Public Relations committee for AOSSM.

I have tremendous experience with elite athletes. I served as Chief Tournament Physician for the Family Circle Cup women’s professional tennis tournament for seven years. I also served as head team physician for the Charleston Battery professional soccer team. I have also served as a physician for USA Rugby and the U.S. women’s national soccer team during their appearances in Charleston.
