Renowned orthopedic and sports medicine surgeon Dr. James Andrews and other
members of his staff could soon be flying to China to operate on new
international patients, according to an administrator at the firm.
Andrews and other physicians at Andrews Sports Medicine Orthopaedic Centers have
performed surgical procedures in Europe, the Middle East and South America for
the past 25 years '" leaving their Birmingham-based practice on an as-needed
basis, said Andrews Center administrator Michael Immel.
Immel said a group of American and Chinese investors are currently constructing
surgery centers in China and are courting Andrews, his partners and his staff to
perform surgeries there.
The developing business agreement has been in the works for roughly a year and
has a few hurdles, including completed construction of the surgery center,
selection of physicians to perform the surgeries and learning how business is
conducted in this new market, Immel said.
"It's a very difficult market to get involved with because of how different
business is conducted there compared to here," he said.
"There are more and more expatriates in China who are looking for care and are
looking for high-quality orthopedic care," he said. "I think foreigners still
see America as one of the best places to get health care. In some countries,
patients sometimes have to wait for something like a total joint replacement
surgery for an extended period."
