More Than a Partnership: A Shared Heritage
At South Bound Orthopedics, we’re dedicated to providing exceptional care to athletes of all ages and levels. Our team of experienced physicians, many of whom are proud alumni of the University of Notre Dame, brings a unique understanding of the physical and mental demands of athletic competition.
Dr. Balint, a three-time Bengal Bout Champion, and Dr. Fuller, a 2002 Bengal Bout participant and recipient of the George E. McCarthy “Off the Ropes Award,” offer invaluable insights from their own athletic careers. Additionally, Dr. Warrender, a former Notre Dame baseball player, journey was uniquely complemented by the expertise of Dr. Ratigan, who served as the team’s physician, providing vital medical support during his athletic care.
This combined expertise allows us to offer care tailored to the specific needs of athletes. From injury prevention and treatment to performance optimization, we’re committed to helping you achieve your goals.
