Meet Our Team


 

 

SportsSafe believes that a small staff can dedicate the appropriate time and attention that recovery from a concussive injury requires.

We are committed to providing the best possible service to our patients.

As a team, we are able to dedicate our attention towards creating a detailed management plan for each patient. Our goal is to help pediatric patients return to their normal activities as quickly as possible. We strive to give parents and patients all the resources they need for recovery from a concussive injury

The Founder of SportsSafe

Dr. Leslie Aiello, MD, FAAP, Credentialed ImPACT Consultant

Now retired from seeing patients, Dr. Aiello practiced in Austin for over 35 years with Pediatric Associates of Austin. His physician peers have recognized him repeatedly as one of the best pediatricians in Texas and America.

After treating adolescents with concussions for many years, he decided a more comprehensive concussion management program was needed to help manage these patients. Dr. Aiello's goal is to make SportsSafe the clinic of choice for concussion evaluation and management.
