PTR Sports

Contact: Blue, Jeffrey

Business Description: PTR Sports is a sports medicine, family medicine, and physical therapy corporation. We believe there is an elite athlete in all of us - that we all have a deep-seated desire to be healthier and better. Our goal is not to simply treat disease, but to aggressively prevent it. Through the appropriate use of the disciplines of sports medicine - thinking right, exercise, nutrition, and medicine, we believe we can make you healthier than you have ever been. We see patients for both family medicine and sports medicine, from age 3 to 103. Many of our patients are athletes, former athletes, or future athletes, and take an active role in their health. As such, we try to incorporate the disciplines of sports medicine - thinking right, exercise, nutrition, and medicine - into our practice in order to make you healthier and better. Choosing a physician is a very personal matter. We think you will like who we are, where we practice, and how we deliver care. We expect to exceed your highest expectations. Physical therapy at PTR Sports is unlike any other. You will find that our programs are hands-on and individualized more than other therapy. We expect you to improve and get better and will push you to do so as fast as you are able. Set your expectations high and we will exceed them. Our innovative programs can help you achieve all of your health goals. Dr. Blue is our Medical Director and physician. He is board certified in family medicine and fellowship trained in sports medicine. He is originally from New Jersey and has a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Tufts University. He worked for four years mostly in software development before attending UMDNJ - New Jersey Medical School. Dr. Blue completed a family medicine residency at UCLA Medical Center and a sports medicine fellowship at The Ohio State University Medical Center. Dr. Blue has been in private practice since 1998. He previously had offices in San Jose and San Francisco before moving in 2007 to our current location in Santa Clara. He has served as the medical director of the Center for Sports Medicine at O'Connor Hospital in San Jose, team physician for the San Francisco Giants and the University of San Francisco, and physician for Cirque du Soleil in San Jose. His current practice is 50% family medicine and 50% sports medicine. He uses his sports medicine background to treat all of his patients. Most conditions can be treated by combining the disciplines of sports medicine - exercise, nutrition, medication, and thinking right, and he uses these to educate patients to take control of their medical problems and better their lives.
