Biography

Karl B. Fields, MD, is board certified in sports medicine and family medicine. His professional interests include caring for athletes and those with musculoskeletal injuries, including diagnostic ultrasound.

In practice since 1979, he has extensive experience with diagnosing and treating challenging sports-related and musculoskeletal issues, including patients who have not responded to typical care. Friendly and encouraging, he urges all his patients to incorporate wellness and exercise to improve their long-term health. Regardless of age or injury, his goal is to help patients return to an active lifestyle.

In his spare time, he enjoys tennis, hiking, traveling and playing guitar.

“I believe every patient is an athlete although many may be out of training! What a gift to be able to help them. Each new patient I meet is an opportunity to help a unique individual.” – Karl B. Fields, MD

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Fields. He listens, asks questions about what is going on with the problem. Uses ultrasound to zero in on the problem, and teaches Fellows as he goes with the same calm demeanor he assesses the current situation.

Dr Fields is one of the most knowledgeable, personable and caring sports medicine and for that matter, physicians I have ever been under the care of. He is very thorough, never hesitates to take the time with you that you need and this is why I drive over an hour each way to see him after all of these years! The fellow working with him that day was also fantastic. Knowledgeable, to the point and did a great job with shock wave therapy for a second time. He is going to do well for himself and the patients where ever he ends up practicing
