Thank you to Dr. Pietropaoli for fixing my shoulder and my knee. Dr. P's entire staff from the office to the nurses, PAs, NPs, and Therapists are over the top. No "assembly line medicine" here at Victory.

I am so glad that I completed my shadowing experience at Victory with Dr. P. He is the best doctor around and he is a great guy too. He went above and beyond to make sure that I was enjoying my time there as well as learning as much as I could. Even in the O.R he would point out to me what he was doing and why he was doing it. I learned a lot from my short shadowing experience from Dr. P and the rest of the staff at Victory.

I had a phenomenal time at Victory! I was able to workout and learn some many things about the field of health and exercise science. The staff was very friendly and they made me feel at home. I was able to work out with patients while helping them enjoy therapy as well. I definitely will go back and I will recommend Victory Sports Medicine to everyone!

Dr. P took great care of our daughter's ACL repair. We truly felt as though we were getting special treatment; though I have heard from other patients that they felt the exact same way. The entire team from the front desk to the examination room was very caring and compassionate throughout the whole process. Dave Schultz was in charge of our daughter's PT program. He was extremely encouraging, yet firm and honest with her about her part of the healing process and what she would have to do to have a chance to be released in time to play soccer her senior year. He was tough on her and didn't mamby pamby her, but knew when she was having an off day. He not only took care of the physical part of her therapy, he helped her get ready mentally. It was a true pleasure working with the team at Victory Sports Medicine.

Phenomenal group of people to work with! Top of the line staff. Wouldn't have wanted to complete my internship anywhere else! One can only go through so much studying and sleep deprivation before questioning their career choice. But, this internship renewed my desire to become a physical therapist. Miss the Victory sports crew already!

Prior to coming Victory Sports Medicine I thought I wanted to be a Physical Therapist. Coming here once a week during the summer was an eye opening and life changing experience. I was quickly introduced to the profession of Physician Assistant and decided that's what I wanted to do. In spending time in the office as a student I learned so much and feel that I have an upper edge entering PA school. Thank You so much to the great crew at Victory Sports Medicine!!!
Fantastic Shadowing Experience

On Jan. 6, 2015, I received a total knee replacement performed at Auburn Community Hospital by Dr. Marc Pietropaoli, M.D. The procedure was successful and I am on my way to recovery, ahead of schedule. The staff at Victory Sports Medicine is proffesional, and makes you feel comfortable during your appointments, and surgery in my case. The best in the area. Everyone makes you feel like family.

U.S. Luge Junior National TeamTo Dr P and staff, we want to thank you for all of your help over the years with our family's various injuries, but most especially with Sydney's recent ACL tear. We were afraid this would be career ending, but with your advice and treatment, she was able to train with the USA Luge Junior National Team as well as with her Candidate Team. She competed in this month's race off and finished 5th and 2nd in her two runs. Considering a month ago she couldn't walk, we couldn't be more happy! Thank you for everything you do!

Dear Dr. Marc, Steve, Jason & the entire staff at VSM, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the wonderful care you have provided to both myself and Sophia this year.
