PRE-Registration

Effective February 1, 2023 prior to all patient appointments, we were requiring all patients to login to our Andrews Sports Medicine Patient Portal, ModMed, to complete their registration & medical history prior to their office visit.

Please note in order to complete your pre-registration, you must be on a desktop or laptop computer using Google Chrome or Firefox web browser.

If your appointment is less than 3 days away and you are missing a patient portal invite from us, call us at (205) 314-2597. When prompted, please leave a message clearly stating your first name, last name, and date of birth. Someone from our office will contact you with your portal login information.

Please bring the following items to your office appointment:

• Your insurance card(s) - both primary & secondary (if applicable)

• Any written order(s) or referral form(s) from your previous doctor (if applicable)

Questions For Your Physician

In addition to examining you, your doctor will talk to you about your injury or condition. You can help your doctor diagnose and treat you by being prepared to answer these common questions:

• What are your symptoms?

• When did these symptoms start? What were you doing when they started?

• What activities make your symptoms worse/better?

• Have you had this problem before? If so, what was the diagnosis and how was it treated?

• Have you ever had surgery in that area?

• What home treatments have you tried, including nonprescription medications? Did they help?
