Wow... So if he "looked like an athlete" you would take his advice at face value and be less concerned about getting him to a sports ortho specialist? Again...wow.
That's an RJM call on what he feels is best for his family. How he bases his conclusion is his business and no one else. He asked his son a question about the "look" of a doctor and in this case, I would have asked the same, and probably came to the same conclusion. If I have the choice I will take the doc that looks like he understands athletics over a doc that that looks like he might not know how to put on a jock. Not only will the athletic doc probably have some personal athletic knowledge, he will probably be easier to to talk to about the athletic repercussions, rehabilitation, and other athletic issues.
