William C. Meyers, M.D.

 

Dr. William Meyers has dedicated 25 years to pioneering the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of core muscle injuries (also known as athletic pubalgia or sports hernia).  Treating patients with abdominal or groin injuries stemmed from a unique experience with the U.S. National Soccer Team in the 1980s. Since then, he has developed a number of variants of the surgical repair for core injuries (athletic pubalgia/sports hernia) and has evaluated over 11,000 patients, including professional players from the National Football League, National Hockey League, National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, Professional Tennis, Professional Golf, Professional Bull Riding, Swimming, Olympic Track and Field, collegiate and recreational athletes. 

 

Dr. Meyers received his B.A. from Harvard University and his M.D. from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons.  He completed his surgical residency at Duke University, subsequently serving as Chief of General Surgery. Prior to moving to Philadelphia, Dr. Meyers was Chairman of Surgery and Surgeon-in-Chief at University of Massachusetts-Worcester.  He most recently served as Professor, Chairman of Surgery and Senior Associate Dean at Drexel University College of Medicine. Dr. Meyers has been funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and has received various industry grants for research.  He has authored and co-authored over 300 peer reviewed medical publications, and has authored chapters and edited texts.  He also has authored two books. 

 

In fall of 2010, Dr. Meyers established Vincera Core Physicians and continues his dedication to the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, research and education of core injuries.
