Hide Full Bio

Jeffrey R. Dugas, MD, treats all types of orthopaedic sports injuries, including injuries of the shoulder, elbow and knee. He is board certified in orthopaedic surgery and the sub-specialty of sports medicine.

Due to the injuries he suffered from years of playing baseball, Dr. Dugas developed a true passion for the health and injury prevention of youth baseball players. He continues to work with athletes to develop the field of sports-injury treatment and prevention. He maintains a special interest in throwing athletes, and much of his research concentrates in this area.

Dr. Dugas has contributed significantly to the research of sports medicine. He has published articles and textbook chapters related to injuries of the shoulder and elbow in throwing athletes, vascular injuries in throwers and rotator cuff injuries, especially for UCL tears of the elbow.. He has also published manuscripts on the treatment of knee ligament injuries and the treatment of cartilaginous defects of the knee.

A native of Schenectady, N.Y., Dr. Dugas graduated from North Carolina State University with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering. He continued his education at Duke University School of Medicine, graduating with his medical degree in 1994. He completed his orthopedic surgery residency at the renowned Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. Following his orthopedic training, Dr. Dugas accepted a fellowship in sports medicine at the American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI) in Birmingham, Alabama, under the direction of James R. Andrews, M.D., and William G. Clancy, Jr., M.D.

He was then invited to become a member of the Alabama Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center. After its dissolution, he became a partner in the Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center. Additionally, he serves on the Board of Trustees at the American Baseball Foundation (ABF) and American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI), where he conducts research and serves as director for the ASMI Sports Medicine Fellowship Program.

Dr. Dugas holds memberships in numerous medical societies including the American Orthopaedic Associaiton, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine, American Medical Association, Medical Association of Alabama and the Jefferson County Medical Society.

Dr. Dugas serves as medical director for ACE Cheer, USA Cheer, the national governing body for cheerleading, and he is on the National Concussion Task Force for the prevention of concussions in youth sports. In addition, Dr. Dugas serves as Associate Medical Director for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

He serves as a team physician for Miles College, Tuskegee University, and Troy University as well as Vestavia Hills, Bessemer Academy, Carbon Hill, Calera, Cordova, Curry, Gardendale, Oakman and Vestavia Hills High Schools. Dr. Dugas also provides sports medicine assistance for the Birmingham Barons, the AA affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, and the Alabama Ballet. He has been named one of Birmingham's Best Doctors for ten consecutive years and was selected by his peers as one of the top orthopaedic surgeons in the state of Alabama.

Dr. Dugas and his wife, Tracie, are both avid sports fans and enjoy spending time with their children, Christopher and Caroline. Dr. Dugas enjoys golf, baseball, fishing and playing guitar.

Comeback Stories

Going into my junior year of high school I had never had a surgery before. That quickly changed as I found my self injuring my right knee in the fall and my left knee in the spring. Both injuries required surgery, and I was so scared. Now as I continue to recover from my second surgery, I know I can trust Andrews Sports Medicine to always be there for me.

Madeline Clayton | Columbiana, AL
In the heat of the play, I’m thinking “if this pass is intercepted, Thompson is taking it back for a pick 6 and this game is over.” Instinctively, I put my left foot in the ground, made a quick change in direction and attempted to grab the floating ball. When I did that, my left knee buckled and simply gave out on me.

Charlie Ingram | Vestavia Hills, AL
In March of 2022, I began to experience problems with my elbow while competing at the Texas Relays. After throwing the javelin, I felt a pop in my arm that quickly became very painful. Never having had issues in my arm before, I assumed that it just needed to be rubbed out.

Maria Bienvenu | Natchitoches, LA
My second injury was in the spring of my junior year. I was playing softball and my pinky and ring fingers went numb. I tried to play through the pain but it hurt too bad. I went to Andrews Sports Medicine and got an MRI done and saw Dr. Dugas. He was great and took really good care of me and left the surgery up to me. He did everything he had to do for me before my surgery and I really appreciated that. He set me up with my MRI and everything else I needed.

Emily Simon | Athens, AL
On the strikeout pitch to the second batter of the inning I felt my elbow snap. My whole forearm and my last two fingers immediately went numb. It honestly didn’t really hurt that much in the moment but I felt scared because I had all the symptoms of a UCL tear. I have had other friends do the same thing to their elbow and I knew something was wrong.
