One of the first orthopedic specialists in Houston to offer a new noninvasive shockwave therapy to chronic tennis elbow sufferers, Dr. Hildreth opened more than the door to The Tennis Elbow Institute over his nearly 30-year career.

Recently featured in Newsweek and listed among Texas Monthly magazine's Texas Super Doctors, Dr. Hildreth served as part of the orthopedics team at The Methodist Hospital, the official healthcare provider of the Houston Texans and Astros.
