Meet the leader of the OVSM team…
C. Mitchell Fields, MD

Putting education and experience to work for you
“Although I am proud of my education and accomplishments in the field of orthopedic medicine, I am even more proud of the opportunity I’ve had to serve Chillicothe and the surrounding area. I founded Ohio Valley Sports Medicine back in 1984, and feel fortunate to give to and be a part of this great community. I want every resident to know that OVSM is dedicated to serving them with unsurpassed medical care and the highest level of trust and respect.”

A leading expert in knee repair and replacement
“Helping patients who have suffered from knee injuries is extremely challenging and rewarding. That’s why I have invested so much time sharpening my skills in both arthroscopic repair and total joint replacement techniques. These procedures can make a tremendous difference for patients – allowing them to regain their mobility and enjoy many activities without being hindered by chronic pain. I’m proud to have helped thousands of knee injury patients, and I look forward helping many more.”

Always listening. Always learning.
“As your doctor, my first job is to listen…to give you the opportunity to voice your concerns and ask questions. Your input and participation is a critical component of the care I provide, and absolutely essential throughout the treatment and recovery process. Over the years I’ve learned that this type of doctor-patient partnership always produces the best results.”
