Thomas Beck, MD
Orthopedic Surgeon, 
Director of Sports Medicine


Dr. Beck directs the Richland Sports Medicine Program. His abilities make it possible for local athletes to stay close to home for orthopedic procedures. As a result, the athlete's recuperation and rehabilitation may be expedited. Dr. Beck’s experience in working with sports acceleration programs and high intensity training has led to the availability of new services within the program.
