Dr. Tim Kremchek Hits a Home Run in Sports Medicine and Welcomes the Challenges on His Field of Dreams

Cambridge, MA, October 10, 2001: Knee1.com, a leading Internet Web site for knee health information, is honoring Dr. Tim Kremchek as its newest Knee Care Hero. As the Medical Director and Chief Orthopaedic Physician for the Cincinnati Reds, Dr. Kremchek has combined his two passions: sports medicine and baseball. His focus, though, goes beyond the professional athlete. He sees an athlete as anyone who enjoys a healthy, active lifestyle. "If you're unable to do that, it changes your personality, changes your view on life." He sees his mission as helping treat their injuries and getting them back into the swing of things.
