Last second help
I called Andrews hoping to get a pretty quick appointment because I had fallen and injured my wrist. I was able to get a same day appointment to see Dr. Colberg and it was great. After a short wait, I was taken back for X-rays then after a short wait, Dr. Colberg came in and discussed the problem that the X-ray showed. He was extremely nice and professional. I would recommend Dr. Colberg to anybody.

Top notch service
Highly recommend Dr. Colberg. He was very professional, knowledgable, and caring. I was referred by my doctor to Andrews sports medicine due to my elbow issue. I was sent to see Dr. Colberg at the Andrews clinic near my house. After looking at xrays and doing a test, he immediately identified the issue, took time to explain everything, and provided me with the necessary treatment plan to resolve it.

Excellent communication.
Dr. Cloberg is always thorough and consise with his explanations of conditions and issues. Everyone is always very nice. I'm actually looking forward to a knee replacement surgery. Either they are that good or I'm that crazy.

Knowledgeable staff
I recently saw Dr. Colberg for a PRP injection for my Achilles Tendon. As always, he and Amy, his PA are very knowledgeable and attentive to my needs, making me feel like I am their only patient, even though I’m not. The clinic appears to run smoothly and all the staff are friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Colberg and Amy for any non surgical orthopedic problems you may have.

The Best of the Best
This was my third appointment experience with Dr. Ricardo Colberg at Andrews Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center from 2019-2022. Each time I have flown from Santa Barbara, California to Birmingham, Alabama. Why? Dr. Ricardo Colberg is among the finest physicians I have encountered in more than 50 years. He is extremely talented and skillful, personable, and keeps current in his field. He is a non-surgical problem solver. His bedside manner reflects a physician who not only advises but listens to the patient, and his staff is one of the best support teams I've experienced: Amy, for her PT skills, Autumn, for her patient management skills, Brandon and the staff in radiology for their kind and caring efficiency. Andrews has proved over and over that they are among the best medical facilities anywhere in the US, Coast to Coast, if not the world.
