Amit Momaya, MD -- UAB Sports Medicine Orthopedic Surgeon

"I had an amazing time shadowing Dr. Momaya in both the clinic and the OR. He is extremely compassionate and clearly articulates all medical advice and plans to his patients. He is also heavily involved in novel research, especially in coming up with ACL reconstruction techniques, and lots of benefits can be clearly seen in his patients post-op. I highly recommend any patient or student to Dr. Momaya!"

"Dr. Momaya did an excellent job on my son’s surgery. He was able to do the impossible and remove a bullet from a location in the back of the knee that should not have been possible with a laparoscopic surgery. The initial thought was that it would have to be an open surgery to the back of the knee to get to the bullet. He was able to do this without an open surgery and we are extremely thankful and blessed to have had him as our surgeon. He was absolutely amazing and because of this my son’s recovery was so much quicker and less painful. All of his staff were great as well. Definitely will recommend to everyone I know!"

"My experience at UAB Highlands with Dr. Amit Momaya has been excellent. He knows exactly what he’s doing and it shows in the quality of his work. His success in my surgery helped me walk again after suffering a gunshot wound in my leg. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for a doctor proficient in his field of work and expertise."

"Dr. Momaya has been absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend seeing him for any sports medicine needs. He listened intently to my pain/problem and then asked about my lifestyle and goals so he could keep that in mind with my treatment. He was quick to try non-invasive methods first before ultimately in my case suggesting surgery. My recovery time has been absolutely stellar and I think a lot of that has to do with Dr. Momaya keeping my recovery in mind when scoping and surgically repairing my knee (not hacking things up in there and only doing what is necessary). Even physical therapists know which patients were under his care. I look forward to returning to sport and I owe that to Dr. Momaya and his staff, UAB Sports Medicine department, as well as my physical therapist."

"Dr. Momaya is a fantastic physician and mentor. I saw him as a patient years ago. He was just as friendly and kind then as he is now. Knowing I was interested in medicine, he was sure to make sure I understood every aspect of my injury and answer any question I had. I stayed connected and have been grateful for every experience. There’s so much to learn and be explained. Whether you’re an undergrad or a medical student, Dr Momaya is a great contact to get involved in shadowing and research! I’ve had incredible opportunities. There’s plenty of support to pursue your orthopedic surgery goals."
