Dr. Michael Freitas

  • Title
    Team Physician - Primary Care/Sports Medicine

As a sports medicine physician, I have always been driven to help others receive care to continue their athletic passions. From weekend warriors to professional athletes, from the young in age to the young in spirit, my passion is medical care related to sports and exercise. From concussions, to sprains and strains, fractures, exercise medicine, biomechanics, nutrition, injection therapies, emerging technologies such as platelet-rich plasma treatments, and the specific medical concerns of the female athlete, my goal is to provide comprehensive medical care all athletes, regardless of age or ability.

Working as a primary care sports medicine physician for UBMD Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, I see patients out of our Amherst and Orchard Park offices. Our south towns location is where I serve as director of the UB Concussion Clinic, which is a world-recognized leader in treatment of sport concussion. I also see patients for family medicine in addition to sports medicine at Highgate Medical Group in Amherst, NY. I feel fortunate to work as an assistant team physician for University at Buffalo Athletics, and medical consultant with the Buffalo Bills, assisting in the care of their athletes who have sustained a concussion.
