Get to know Sports Medicine Specialist Dr. Dore Elizabeth Robinson, who serves patients in Illinois.

A fellowship-trained sports medicine specialist, Dr. Robinson practices at Duly Health and Care, operating out of the offices in Oak Lawn and Orland Hills, Illinois.

Specializing in pri­ma­ry care sports med­i­cine and non-oper­a­tive ortho­pe­dics, she has a spe­cial inter­est in knee injuries, arthri­tis, as well as injury pre­ven­tion. She also treats every­thing from con­cus­sions, frac­tures, sprain/​strains, overuse injuries, ten­dini­tis, and work relat­ed injuries, to neck, back, hip, shoul­der, knee, elbow, wrist, hand, foot, and ankle conditions. 

“My phi­los­o­phy of care is to treat each patient as a whole, rather than just treat­ing a symp­tom. My goal is to help aug­ment the body’s abil­i­ty to heal itself, and to iden­ti­fy and mod­i­fy any fac­tors which may pre­dis­pose to injury. As an ath­lete myself, I am famil­iar with the unique demands that sports place on an indi­vid­ual, and treat injuries with empa­thy and com­pas­sion. I believe the best treat­ment strate­gies involve a mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary approach cen­tered around the patient” expressed the doctor. 

Back in 2008, Dr. Robinson graduated with her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Midwestern University Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine. She then went on to perform her residency in family medicine at Advocate Christ Medical Center, and her fellowship in sports medicine at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center.

A member of the American Academy for Sports Medicine, she is board-certified in sports medicine and family medicine by the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians. It is an organization that provides board certification to qualified osteopathic physicians who specialize in delivering comprehensive primary care for patients of all ages, genders, and addressing all parts of the body.

In 2011, Dr. Robinson received the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine Resident Teacher Award.

Sports medicine is the medical specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries due to athletic activity. Sports medicine specialists are either orthopedic surgeons or primary care physicians who prescribe treatments for professional and amateur athletes. They are trained to address issues associated with nutrition, sports psychology, and substance abuse. They may also counsel athletes on injury prevention.

In her personal life, Dr. Robinson enjoys com­pet­ing in nat­ur­al body­build­ing com­pe­ti­tions, and has earned her pro cards in sev­er­al divi­sions in the Inter­na­tion­al Physique League (IPL) includ­ing body­build­ing, fig­ure, ath­let­ic, sports mod­el, wings, and evening gown. She likes to play golf and ten­nis, as well as par­tic­i­pates in obsta­cle courses/​mud runs, and hot yoga. She also enjoys spend­ing time with her fam­i­ly and 2 dogs, Diesel and GG (rot­tweil­ers).
