GARDENDALE, Ala. – Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center is excited to announce the opening of its newest clinic, located in Gardendale, Alabama.

“We are excited to be opening a Gardendale clinic to serve North Jefferson County and surrounding communities,” said Jeffrey R. Dugas, M.D., an orthopaedic surgeon and managing partner at Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center.
Dugas goes on to state, “We’re also proud to welcome Dr. Jay Umarvadia to our team of physicians, although he is no stranger to our practice. Dr. Umarvadia has been a valuable member of our team the last 12 months, while receiving his sports medicine fellowship training. Dr. Umarvadia’s talent as a sports medicine physician will be vital to both treating patients at the Gardendale clinic and serving as team physician for Gardendale High School’s athletics program.”
Dr. Umarvadia recently completed his sports medicine fellowship with the American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI), located in Birmingham. During the one-year fellowship, Dr. Umarvadia worked alongside Andrews Sports Medicine physicians and surgeons - receiving extensive experience treating patients, conducting research and providing athletic event coverage.
During his fellowship, Dr. Umarvadia was assistant team physician for Samford University and Homewood High School. He also provided on-site medical coverage for the NCAA Wrestling Championships, SEC Baseball Tournament, AAC Track Championships, Birmingham Barons, Mercedes Marathon and Alabama Ballet.
