Your athlete’s next step matters. So does who’s guiding it.
Frisco ISD, Prosper ISD, and Celina ISD are home to over 15,000 student athletes — and every season brings the same injuries: ACL tears, shoulder instability, growth plate fractures, meniscus tears, concussions. How those injuries are managed early determines whether an athlete returns stronger or returns hurt again.
Dr. Nathan Boes trained at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic — the fellowship program behind orthopedic care for professional and Olympic-level athletes. He now brings that training to Frisco as a team physician for athletic programs across North Texas, treating high school athletes with the same return-to-sport standards used at the highest level of competition.
Common High School Sports Injuries We Treat
- ACL and meniscus tears — soccer, football, basketball, volleyball
- Shoulder instability and labral tears — baseball, softball, swimming, volleyball
- Elbow injuries (UCL, Little League elbow) — baseball, softball pitchers
- Fractures and growth plate injuries — contact and collision sports
- Hip labral tears and impingement — soccer, track, cross country, dance
- Concussions — all contact sports
Minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques mean smaller incisions, faster recovery, and a clearer path back to competition — evaluated against the same benchmarks used by athletic trainers and sports medicine staff, not a generic timeline.
Why Frisco Parents and Athletes Choose Apex
Steadman Hawkins-Trained Surgeon
No other orthopedic practice in Frisco offers this fellowship pedigree. It’s the training standard for athletes who can’t afford a wrong diagnosis or a rushed return.
Team Physician Experience
Dr. Boes works sidelines for athletic organizations across North Texas — he evaluates injuries the way your athlete’s coaches and trainers do, in real competitive context.
Evidence-Based Return-to-Sport Protocols
Return decisions are guided by objective testing (strength symmetry, movement screening, sport-specific readiness) — not just time elapsed since surgery.
Built for Every Athlete, Every Body
Varsity starter or first-season JV player — every athlete gets the same standard of care. And if you’re an active adult dealing with a sports-related injury of your own, this expertise applies to you too.
