Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The best!
I required elbow surgery with Andrews Sports Medicine. Dr. Dugas was the Dr. that was assigned to me. From the beginning he experience was excellent. The surgery was a masterpiece! There’s hardly a scar. I have healed very well. I’m up in age and know that I am limited. Dr. Dugas made me feel good about everything. My name is Phillip and I highly recommend Dr. Dugas. He is undoubtedly one of the best. Thank you for what you’ve done for me!

Extremely impressed
I drove to Bham from Orange Bch Al with an MRI resulting in a complete thickness Rotator cuff tear. Dr Dugus explained everything to me clearly and to the point. I scheduled surgery with him and I am completely assured that he will reattach the tendon. He is an amazing Surgeon and was highly recommended to me.

Dr Dugas and Team are the best !!
Personalized approach from start to finish. Dr Dugas carefully explained the entire approach and his team clearly follows his lead. After the evaluation, procedure and PT, I am now more confident in my ability to continue my exercise routine and hobbies. In fact, perform better with more stability.

Great experience
I had rotator cuff surgery in December and a total knee replacement in October. This includes multiple office visits, pre-and post operative. Dr. Dugas and the staff have all been over the top professional. I cannot commend them enough for their compassion and expertise. having worked in the Nursing Profession for over 30 years myself, I have seen the good and the bad. By far, Andrew sports medicine clinic in Birmingham is one of the best I have ever seen. Their organization and promptness is 2nd to none

Outstanding
Dr. Dugas preformed elbow ucl brace repair surgery and the results were outstanding. He is very knowledgeable and related pertinent information in an easy to understand and personable way. Dr. Dugas and staff after care support and check-ins made it easy to connect and get post surgery feedback. Appreciate everything done by Dr. Dugas and staff to get my son healthy and provide him with a chance to perform at a high level in college athletics.

Concerned health care provider – Oct 29, 2022

Outstanding medical treatment
I have been treated by Dr.Dugas for knee issues for over 12 years. After exhausting all options had knee replacement on left knee in 2018 and the results have been great. I am now seeing him for follow up for left knee and treatment for the right. Trying all treatment to delay the right knee replacement, however a replacement is inevitable and I would only trust Dr.Dugas. The team approach by Dr.Dugas and staff along with the positive nature of the practice makes you feel that your medical care and quality of like is their primary concern.

The best in the business
Dr. Dugas is the best for arms and shoulders. His wealth of experience dealing with Tommy John injuries gave us a great deal confidence with the way he treated our son’s injury. He will do everything he can to avoid surgery if it’s not the best approach.

100% trust his recommendations
Dr Dugas previously twice fixed my dad with a knee replacent and then a few years later repaired ruptured quad tendons. Recently I saw him for shoulder pain. Our goal long term max fuctionality and at this time he recommends against surgery. I trust a surgeon who doesn't automatically assume a scalple is the best answer.

Dr. Dugas is an excellent doctor, there aren’t enough words to describe how thankful I am to have him as my doctor. He did a meniscus transplant on me on October 21, 2021, which was my 4th knee surgery. After being released from monthly office visits just a few weeks ago this is the first time in three years I haven’t had to go back after surgery with additional problems. He is patient, kind, supportive, and has helped me get through a very tough surgery. Highly recommended Dr. Dugas, he is the best.
