Richard C. Lehman, M.D., is an orthopedic surgeon in St. Louis, Missouri. He currently serves as the founder and medical director of the U.S. Center for Sports Medicine in Kirkwood, Missouri.[1]
Sports medicine career[edit]
Lehman is licensed in Missouri and California and actively treats track and field athletes worldwide and professional sports athletes from North America. He focuses on rehabilitation of knee, shoulder and elbow injuries. According to the St. Louis Business Journal,[1]
Outside of the operating room, Lehman is a medical pundit who frequently appears on KTVI Fox 2 as well as KMOX to discuss sports medicine and injuries in addition to common medical topics.[2]
He has been the team physician for the Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lightning[3] and St. Louis Blues. He was a part owner of the National Hockey League Florida Panthers, but sold the team in September 2013.[4]
Lehman came to the St. Louis Blues with former head coach and general manager Mike Keenan. Keenan was fired mid-season in 1997 and Lehman was dismissed as the team doctor at the end of the season, although he still treats a number of Blues players.[5]
In early 1998, Lehman and his business partners, backed by the resources of a competing local hospital chain, made an official offer of $1.2 million a year for the contract to make the U.S. Center for Sports Medicine the Cardinals official medical provider.[6]
