Summary

For nearly three decades Dr. Gus A. “Sonny” Rush III has provided premium care in the fields of Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. Dr. Rush has always believed that the future of Orthopedics was largely dependent upon the discoveries and advancements made in the area of Sports Medicine.
