Dr. Weinstein will serve as a Head Physician in Milan, providing expert orthopedic care to world-class athletes as they prepare for international competition on the world stage. His role will focus on injury prevention, evaluation, and treatment—helping athletes perform at their highest level during one of the most demanding seasons in elite sport.

Dr. Weinstein brings extensive experience caring for elite winter athletes, over the last 20+ years having previously supported athletes during the Winter games in Salt Lake City, PyeongChang South Korea, and most recently in Beijing China. His ongoing involvement at the highest levels of sport reflects a deep understanding of the unique physical demands placed on athletes competing in cold-weather and high-impact environments.

As an orthopedic specialist, Dr. Weinstein works closely with athletes to address complex musculoskeletal conditions, optimize recovery, and support long-term performance—both on and off the field of play.

One on One with Rob Quirk: Top Docs at US Olympic Training Center

As we draw closer to the Winter Olympics in South Korea in February, the realization of years of training is finally coming into focus for our elite U.S. athletes.

The unique aspect of what they do, frankly, is timing. These men and women train their entire life for a 15 day run, so it is critical for team physicians, trainers, massage therapists, surgeons, you name it, to make sure they are at their competitive best when it counts.

“I am in athlete medical. Yesterday I broke my thumb a little bit and today I fell on my hip,” Kenworthy said in a video posted to his story. “I have a massive hematoma and I’m about to get it drained and you guys are coming along to watch.”
