Care Philosophy: An expert in in both musculoskeletal ultrasound and sports medicine, Dr. Scott Waugh started using orthobiologics for his patients in 2010. ``It was a natural progression, really,`` he says. ``Once I could see injuries and problems in real-time with ultrasound, I started looking for therapies that I could use to treat my patients in the office. I gradually added needle tenotomy, nerve hydrodissection and biologics to my tool kit and have never looked back or regretted that decision.`` He is a board-certified family practice physician with added qualifications in primary care sports medicine and musculoskeletal ultrasound. He is a graduate of Baylor University and the University of Oklahoma, where he completed the Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship Program and went on to continue practicing sports medicine.
