Competing In Ironman World Championship

Dr. Marion Herring, a sports medicine specialist at OrthoVirginia, shares his story of what it takes to qualify multiple times for the Ironman World Championships and how being an athlete helps him treat athletes.

“Dr. Herring is an exceptional physician and surgeon. He cares about his patients and takes the time listen and answer all of your questions. Dr. Herring repaired my severely torn rotator cuff in October of 2021 and my recovery has gone remarkably well. My range of motion is right on schedule and I am well on my way to a full recovery. I appreciate Dr. Herring and I will continue to recommend him to friends and family.”
