Brief Intro

"My goal is to provide comprehensive care for active individuals of all age groups, both for musculoskeletal problems as well as wellness and health purposes."

Dr. Leonardo Taarea is certified in Sports Medicine by the American Board of Family Medicine and completed his DO at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2015. He then completed his residency in Family Medicine from East Carolina University. Dr. Taarea then went on to complete his fellowship in Primary Care Sports Medicine at St. Vincent’s.

His clinical expertise includes chronic musculoskeletal problems, concussion management, family Medicine, sports Medicine, Nonoperative management of musculoskeletal injuries, overuse injuries, and more.

Even treating the common cold can be a little different in the presence of athletic injury. Dr. Taarea understands that athletes and active individuals often have unique needs. He can guide referrals to occupational therapy, recommend lifestyle changes, and help plan for specific performance and conditioning goals — all the while handling your most basic health care needs.

U.S. News & World Report has named Houston Methodist Hospital the Best Hospital in Texas for 10 years in a row and No. 16 in the nation.
