An orthopedic surgeon for Allen families

Dr. Dold treats Allen patients of every age: high school and club athletes, runners and weekend golfers, and adults with arthritis who want to stay active. He is fellowship-trained in sports medicine at NYU Langone, holds FAOA, FAAOS, FACS and FRCSC credentials, and has cared for athletes from the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, PGA Tour, Major League Rugby and USA Gymnastics. Every patient gets the same plan: an accurate diagnosis first, non-surgical treatment when it is likely to work, and surgery only when it offers a clear benefit.

Young athletes

Allen has a large youth and high school sports community, and many of the young athletes Dr. Dold sees play football, soccer, basketball, volleyball and lacrosse. Two findings guide his care:

  • Prevention works. Neuromuscular warm-up and training programs lower the risk of ACL injury.1
  • Return to sport should be based on testing, not just time. Athletes who met strength and function criteria before returning had a much lower re-injury rate after ACL reconstruction.2

Active adults and joint replacement

For advanced knee arthritis, Dr. Dold performs robotic-assisted knee replacement, usually as same-day outpatient surgery. Registry data suggest that most knee replacements last 15 to 25 years.3 For shoulder pain, a randomized trial with 10 years of follow-up found that repairing small and medium rotator cuff tears gave better results than physiotherapy alone.4 Results vary from person to person, and Dr. Dold will review your options with you.
