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

Dr. Fields is such a knowledgeable, caring, thoughtful physician. I needed him to listen to me and talk with me about my overall condition and the causes, not just how to treat the pain. He took the time and gave me some new options and suggestions.
