Meet an MVP: Doug Meyrose - Foothills Sports Medicine

In launching our "Meet an MVP" blog, we’d like to introduce Doug Meyrose of Foothills Sports Medicine in Scottsdale, Arizona. Foothills has enjoyed some exciting growth, opening its doors in 2000 and growing to eleven clinics scattered throughout the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. Foothills has a variety of innovative programs it offers its loyal patients and athletes: to help overweight children lead healthier lives there’s WiL® Power Challenge; for developing and elite athletes there’s Foothills Acceleration & Sports Training (FAST®); for cyclists there’s Foothills Revolution; and for running beginners and enthusiasts there’s PF Changs Running Teams.

But, above all that there’s a focus on delivering hands-on, patient-centered care. Doug Meyrose believes strongly in that focus and was kind enough to tell us more about himself and Foothills Sports Medicine.
