CULLMAN, Ala. – Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center is pleased to announce the upcoming January 6, 2020 opening of its newest clinic located in Cullman, Alabama.

Located at 1301-A Bridge Creek Drive NE, Andrews Sports Medicine-Cullman is adjacent to Eva Road and easily accessible from Highway 157 and I-65.

“We are thrilled to be opening a Cullman clinic to better serve Cullman County.,” said Lisa Warren, CEO of Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center.

Warren goes on to state, “The clinic will be staffed by the two most recent doctors to join our practice – Dr. Monte Ketchum and Dr. Marcus A. Rothermich. Both doctors received their fellowship training at Andrews Sports Medicine and officially joined our practice this past October.”  

Monte Ketchum, DO is a non-surgical sports medicine & orthopaedic physician. He treats all types of orthopaedic issues, including sports-related and non-sports-related injuries and osteoarthritis in joints. Dr. Ketchum performs various ultrasound-guided injections, including viscosupplementation for osteoarthritis of joints and platelet-rich plasma therapy for tendon and ligament injuries and arthritic conditions.

“I’m thankful for the opening of Andrews Sports Medicine’s Cullman location. My wife, Ashley Ketchum, is a pediatrician at Internal Medicine and Pediatrics of Cullman. We recently settled into our new Cullman home this past summer. Ashley and I are both excited to be a part of this great community and eager to serve patients in our new hometown,” said Dr. Ketchum.

Marcus A. Rothermich, MD is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon. He has extensive training in both general orthopaedic surgery and complex sports medicine techniques. Dr. Rothermich has a particular interest in elbow reconstruction in overhead athletes, rotator cuff repairs, complex knee surgery and total joint replacement. He is excited to return to Alabama after working in private practice in Florida, where he served as a consultant to the New York Mets and as the team doctor for their local minor league affiliate.

“During the last few months, I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of great folks from Cullman County. Everyone has been very welcoming and seem grateful that Andrews Sports Medicine is opening a local clinic. I look forward to working alongside Dr. Ketchum to invest in this community. Monte and I can't wait to get up there and help patients of all ages get back in the game,” said Dr. Rothermich.

Based on Governor Ivey's Safer-At-Home guidelines, all of our doctors are conducting face-to-face patient appointments within our clinics; however, some of our doctors are seeing reduced patient schedules due to social distancing recommendations. Furthermore, to accommodate social distancing requirements and to reduce patient and staff exposure, we ARE NOT allowing non-patients to enter our lobbies/waiting rooms unless they are accompanying a patient who is a minor or someone needing mobility assistance.

Effective June 29, 2020, public establishments in Jefferson County require persons to wear a face covering by order of the Jefferson County Health Officer. Based on the Jefferson County ordinance, ALL individuals entering our clinics located in Jefferson County -  St. Vincent’s Birmingham, Gardendale and Trussville - are REQUIRED to wear a mask or facial covering (bandana, scarf) to comply with the law. Note: Persons over the age of 8 and older are required to wear a face covering.

In addition, our practice is REQUIRING patients who have appointments at our satellite clinics outside of Jefferson County (Cullman, Hoover and Pelham) to wear a mask or facial covering (bandana, scarf) to protect our staff and other patients.
