Philip L. Wilson, MD
Director, Sports Medicine Center
Philip L. Wilson

Dr. Wilson has practiced and researched pediatric orthopedics and sports medicine in the academic setting for 20 years. His clinical practice includes care in a level I trauma center and a pediatric orthopedic specialty hospital and ambulatory care setting.

He treats a wide variety of rare and complex sports injuries and conditions in pediatric and adolescent patients; patellar instability, osteochondritis dissecans, skeletally immature ACL and knee injuries, and conditions in the immature throwing and gymnastic arm.

Patellofemoral instability injury and re-injury continues to be a significant concern in adolescent patients; management of these patients and improvement in surgical techniques to optimize outcomes continue to be a major focus of his clinical practice and research.

Philip L. Wilson, M.D., serves as the medical director at the Scottish Rite for Children Frisco Campus, and is an assistant chief of staff, and director of the Center for Excellence in Sports Medicine.
