"Never seen a more egotistical unprofessional person. Was over an hour late waiting on him never shows up in time…. Told my child and I to “shut up…. He’s the specialist not his pa’s….. they can’t give advice and have no clue what they are doing…” he has absolutely no bedside manners..been seeing him now for almost six months for my sons hand doing repeat therapeutic splints and going to numerous appointments to find out it has all been a waste of time. My sons hand is not getting better and may end up to amputation bc dr Andrews will not listen to patients or their concerns. This is why we were told to shut up. Absolutely disappointed and disgusted that a physician who train and went through years of schooling to treat people the way he does…, against the code of ethics! Not only did I complain to the PATIENT EXPERIENCE department at OSS HEALTH…. But was told that because he is a shareholder of OSS that there wasn’t too much she or I could do about it…. However she was pushing and escalating my complaint to the board…. This man should not practice medicine and he definitely should not work with people until he can learn to listen and understand why paying customers should be heard! "

What is Sports Medicine?

Sports medicine is the specialty that promotes physical fitness and activity while managing, treating, and preventing injuries that happen during exercise or participation in sports. Sports medicine fosters wellness and fitness and works to inhibit injury. A sports medicine specialist may work with professional athletes, school sports teams, individuals who participate in sports on the weekend for fun, or someone who is just beginning to exercise for the first time. Although their main focus is on musculoskeletal function, sports medicine specialists also care for patients' full medical and nutritional needs as they relate to their active lifestyle.

Some examples of the kinds of injuries and issues that a sports medicine specialist might see in their work include:

Acute sports injuries (sprains, fractures)
Overuse injuries (tendonitis, bursitis)
Head injuries (concussion)
Heat injuries (heat stroke)
Athletes with chronic illness (asthma, diabetes, heart disease) and how their illness is affected by exercise
Nutrition and the use of supplements
Developing a safe exercise plan for obese or sedentary patients
Substance abuse of performance-enhancing drugs
Teaching proper form and technique to reduce the chance of injury

Sports medicine specialists often work closely with orthopedic specialists, and the scope of their work can have some overlap. The main distinction is that orthopedic specialists can perform surgery when it is needed, while sports medicine specialists focus on non-surgical solutions for injuries.

Whether they are the team physicians making sure every professional player is performing safely and at their best, or community specialists getting a player back in the game after a sprained ankle, sports medicine doctors are there to make sure people are in good condition to lead an active life.
