About Me

I am a fellowship-trained primary care sports medicine physician who ensures the very best in health and medical care for athletes.  I am experienced and trained in the prevention and care of musculoskeletal issues and other health problems linked to sports injuries.  I am a strong proponent of holistic care for athletes including healthy eating and daily exercise.  I provide patients with an individualized treatment plan and personalized goals for faster recovery and safe return to play.

I am a board-certified family medicine and primary care sports medicine physician. I attended the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine and completed my family medicine residency at Lehigh Valley Hospital and his fellowship in primary care sports medicine at St. Luke’s.

I joined St. Luke’s University Health Network in 2019. I am a member of American Medical Society for Sports Medicine. I provide non-surgical treatment of sports injuries and illnesses including fracture care, concussion management, overuse and acute injuries and everyday musculoskeletal ailments for people of all ages.

My love of sports medicine stems from being a former professional triathlete and understanding how important it is to get back to the activities that we love. I feel that keeping active at any age is important physically as well as mentally. I am passionate about helping athletes and non-athletes with their musculoskeletal injuries.

While at this visit. I felt so comfortable with the doctor. He was so down to earth , you forget your talking to a physician. Felt like I knew him for years. I highly recommend him to anyone needing an orthopedic specialist

Dr Sirard was very informative, thorough, and helpful by answering my many questions. His attention to detail gives me hope for the new health care model. Since all of the BIG networks takeover, most Dr I see lately quickly scan symptoms and give basic treatment. Dr.Sirard took the time to research and pinpoint my injection for best efficiency.

I have no issues with this provider, he always takes time to listen to me, explain things to me including any treatment. I just wish that he can see you for more than one issue at a time as both hips are bothering me and my knee but was only able to discuss the hip I had the MRI on
