Methodist Mansfield Medical Center

Sports Physicals | Echocardiograms | ECGs

Event Update: In light of the current health events across the nation and world-wide, in an effort to hinder further spread of the COVID-19 virus, also known as the Coronavirus, the Methodist Mansfield Medical Center sports physicals, echos and ECGs will be postponed through March 27, at which time we will reevaluate the situation.

Methodist Mansfield’s physicians and nurses are volunteering their time to help Mansfield ISD, Midlothian ISD, and Grand Prairie ISD athletes get a start on the upcoming sports season.

The hospital is teaming up with athletic district officials to offer sports physicals, echocardiograms and ECGs with the Cody Stephens Foundation.

The sports physicals will be led by Shaun Garff, DO, sports medicine physician, Jeff McDaniel, MD, sports medicine family health physician, and Juan Gavalda, MD, family health physician on the medical staff at Methodist Mansfield.

Cardiologists Alan Taylor, MD, and Levi Rice, DO, will perform the echocardiograms. An echocardiogram is a test in which ultrasound is used to examine the heart to help detect abnormalities and/or other cardiovascular conditions that may affect student athletes. Parents must accompany their teens during this painless non-invasive test.

ECGs will be performed by the Cody Stephens Foundation. A ECG is a test to examine the electrical activity of the heart to help detect abnormalities that may affect student athletes. Parents must accompany their teens during this painless non-invasive test.

Physicals, echocardiograms and ECGs will take place from 8 a.m. to noon.
