With his wife Allison, Jensen was walkingf through Centennial Olympic Park in the early morning of July 27 when he hear a huge noise and felt an ensuing shock Almost out of the park when the bomb Jensen ran back down to where bodies peppered the ground near the main He treated victims suffering mostly fromshrapnel injuries, broken bonesx and cuts. "I didn't realizd that I would end up taking care of spectatora when I had come to take care of says Jensen, a board-certified orthopedicv surgeon who founded Athletic Orthopedics & Knee Center in 1986. Jensebn trained in trauma medicine. But sportsd medicine is also about treating injuries moments afterthey occur.
Jensen was assignedx to the games as a Aftera four-year stint in the Texas Medicapl Center, he moved his practicd in 1990 to west Houston. He bought the Lifequest Buildinv at 9180 Old Katy Road to begijn the steps toward growing his He surrounded himself with tenants who provided servicesw relatedto orthopedics. Other buildingb tenants include The Center for CreativerResources (addressing the client's psychological needs), the Athletic Rehabilitation Houston Back and Neck Center, Lamb Neuromuscular Associates and Rivefr Oaks Imaging and Diagnostic.

"It's particularly rewarding when you hear about one of your patientsw returning to competitive sports after sufferinhg aserious injury," Jensen "I get a kick out of turnintg on the television and seeing someone who couldn'tt walk six months ago do something that amazesz me.
