Kevin J. Curley, MD

Growing up, I was adept at the sciences but also enjoyed working with people. Internal medicine allowed me to connect with and help a wide range of people. I specialized in sports medicine because of my interest in athletics. Athletes have a different mentality, which presents unique challenges to their care, but they also make it a very rewarding experience. I’ve learned that it’s sometimes harder to hold back an athlete than it is to encourage a sedentary patient to become more physically active.

I’m also skilled at managing orthopedic issues and injuries, as well as concussions in adults. I’ve also covered many live sporting events, including the U.S. Open Tennis Championships. I am a certified medical acupuncturist and treat a wide variety of medical conditions and orthopedic conditions with this modality.

I follow the American College of Sports Medicine motto of “exercise is medicine.” I emphasize lifestyle changes and personal risk reduction to promote healthy living. I consider myself as a guide on patients’ journeys to taking ownership of their own health. I prefer a prescription of physical activity over a pill whenever possible.
