We Are
Andrews Sports Medicine

Throughout everything, Dr. Emblom has been an incredible support. When I saw him recently after dislocating my other kneecap, he remembered me and my previous surgery, even though it had been five years. He’s always been so personal and genuine, and that makes a huge difference.

My husband, Chandler, and I immediately knew where to turn for help — Dr. Lyle Cain at Andrews Sports Medicine. The diagnosis was devastating —an ACL tear. At just 13 years old, Embry faced a challenge unlike any she had encountered before, and as her mother, I worried not just about the physical pain but about the emotional toll it would take on her.

Just six months later, when things were looking up, another injury struck. During a lateral sprint at wrestling practice, Mason turned and tore the medial meniscus in his left knee again. Dr. McGough, who had been so kind and encouraging throughout Mason’s first surgery, reassured him and said that these things happen to athletes.

I immediately sensed that something was wrong. I heard a pop at the moment of impact and experienced an intense amount of pain... This would be my first major surgery, and I was apprehensive about the tough recovery ahead and the possibility of missing my last year of soccer...I am confident that if I ever encounter any other orthopedic issues, Andrews Sports Medicine will be my go-to choice!!

"If I could offer anyone advice, it would be not to wait. If you notice something is wrong with your body, take action. I waited two years to seek proper treatment, unaware of how much pain I had been enduring because it developed gradually. We have some of the top orthopedic surgeons right here in Birmingham, and I encourage anyone to visit them. They can truly help you at Andrews Sports Medicine."

"After overcoming 4 torn ACLs during my middle and high school years, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to continue my academic and athletic career at Tuskegee University."
