Dr. Nancy Rolnik is a non-surgical sports medicine physician who cares for athletes and active individuals of all levels and ages. She treats little leaguers to masters swimmers and everyone in between.  Some patients will seek her expertise in addressing an acute injury and others will have a long history of pain that has failed previous treatments and are looking for other options to treat a musculoskeletal problem.  Dr. Rolnik offers many healing options including orthobiologic PRP or Stem Cell injections, and amniotic injections customized to her patient's needs. 

Dr. Rolnik has 20 years of experience in diagnosing and treating a variety of musculoskeletal injuries utilizing cutting-edge technology and techniques to return her patients to their prior activity levels as quickly as possible.   She will spend the time necessary in consultation with you, evaluating your history and prior treatment efforts then performing a thorough examination.   She asks a lot of questions and listens closely to find the origin of pain and aims to avoid just treating the symptoms.  When appropriate she utilizes an ultrasound machine to provide real time diagnostics and is able to precisely inject using the aid of the ultrasound imaging technology.  Getting the treatment into the right spot allows for quicker recovery. Dr. Rolnik formulates a customized treatment plan based on each patient’s unique medical needs and performance objectives.

Dr. Rolnik extends her care outside of the doctor’s office walls by educating our communities.  She has spoken at PTA, Rotary Club meetings and many others.  She recently joined the John Muir residency program in teaching the residents about properly identifying sports injuries and providing conservative treatment options when appropriate.  Also, she is a long time team doctor for St. Mary’s College.

Raised near Chicago, Dr. Rolnik did most of her education in Illinois.  She attended the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana and then Northwestern University Medical School.  She completed her sports medicine fellowship in southern California before making the Bay Area her home since 2003. She enjoys hiking, yoga, spinning, and playing just about any sport.  She is married and has 2 children, 2 dogs, 2 cats and a tortoise.
