Sports medicine for Denton athletes

Denton is home to the University of North Texas and Texas Woman’s University, and Denton ISD high schools include Denton, Ryan, Guyer and Braswell. Dr. Dold, who is fellowship-trained in sports medicine at NYU Langone, treats high school, college and adult athletes, and has cared for athletes from the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, PGA Tour, Major League Rugby and USA Gymnastics.

ACL tears: prevention, surgery and a safe return

Neuromuscular warm-up and training programs lower the risk of ACL injury.1 After ACL reconstruction, young age and a return to high-risk cutting and pivoting sports are linked to a higher chance of a second ACL injury in either knee.2 That is why Dr. Dold bases return to sport on testing, not just time: in one cohort, athletes who met strength and function criteria before returning had a much lower re-injury rate.3 See ACL tears and ACL reconstruction.

Achilles tendon ruptures

A sudden pop at the back of the ankle while running, jumping or playing pickleball can be an Achilles tendon rupture. Dr. Dold is the author of a review of current treatment for acute Achilles tendon ruptures in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons,4 and he offers both surgical and non-surgical treatment. See Achilles tendon rupture.

Questions from Denton patients

When can an athlete return to sport after ACL reconstruction?

It varies from athlete to athlete. Dr. Dold and the physical therapy team use strength, hop and movement testing, not just the calendar, to decide when an athlete is ready.

Can I be seen the same day?

Same-day appointments are available, and new patients can walk in Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 to 10:30 am. If it is urgent, start your appointment request with “URGENT”.

Do I need a referral?

Many patients do not, but some insurance plans require one. Call 469-850-0680 and the team will check your plan.

Does Dr. Dold accept my insurance?

Dr. Dold accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicare and Tricare. Please call 469-850-0680 to confirm your coverage.
