5.0 star star star star starVery considerate, kind and knowledgeable. Made me feel comfortable in an area that is not pleasant to discuss or work in ( in my opinion). He laughed along with me as my weird sense of humor emerged, and I appreciate his professionalism and personality.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Andrews is the best! Of course he's highly capable and knows what to do but also does it with compassion and dignity. He makes an embarrassing, humiliating situation bearable! I'm honored to have him as my surgeon!

1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderHe hasn't cared about the pain I still have after he did the surgery. He only says that time will heal him. It has been one of my worst experiences of pain in my body that has lasted for more than a month without healing since I saw this doctor, I prefer to see another doctor with him, not anymore.
