Career and education

Andrews received his undergraduate and medical degrees from Louisiana State University, where he was an athlete, winning a Southeastern Conference Championship in polevaulting. He completed his residency at Tulane Medical School and completed fellowships at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and the University of Lyon.

Andrews is known for performing orthopedic surgery on high-profile athletes from a wide array of sports.

Andrews has co-founded or chaired multiple research bodies and medical centers, including the Andrews Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Center in Birmingham, Alabama, the American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI), the Andrews Institute in Gulf Breeze, Florida, and the Andrews Research and Education Foundation. He created the HealthSouth Sports Medicine Council and was behind the Go For It! Roadshow. He serves on the medical advisory board for Tenex Health, Inc., a medical device company that manufactures and markets the Tenex Health TX System for the treatment of chronic tendon and fascia pain. In 2023, Andrews announced his retirement.

In November 2018, retired defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd filed a $180 million medical malpractice lawsuit against Andrews for causing him debilitating muscle and nerve damage after performing an unpermitted knee surgery on him in September 2016.

2023 Malpractice lawsuit

In May 2023, it was announced that attorneys on behalf of offensive tackle Taylor Lewan had filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against Andrews over an October 2020 surgery Andrews performed to repair Lewan's torn right ACL.

Notable patients
