I have never had a dr. so knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated as Dr. Andrews. Have you ever had a doctor call you at 9pm on a Sat. to let you know your test came back okay so you didn't have to worry? I HAVE: DR. ANDREWS

Great doc. Smart, helpful, pensive. He follows up to check on progress. He obviously works hard and studies hard. He is accessible. I did not know that this level of care still existed in modern medicine.

When I met Dr. Andrews I thought who is this guy. He's like a speeding bullet and with so much information. His due diligence has been a saving grace. My husband came into get a full health screening. Dr. Andrews found something that didn't look right. He kept after it and found that my husband had spleen cancer. We were so thankful that we caught it before it spread and my husband has been full remission for the last four months. This is all because this crazy, funny Dr. took the extra time to figure out what was wrong. We are forever grateful and blessed to have you Dr. Andrews. Your Awesome!

I was a patient until we moved away. He was the best doctor ever always following up and made sure our medications were always dispensed.

I just recently found Dr.Andrews. Everything the above reviewers say about him is true! He is a very intelligent, compassionate doctor who has dedicated his life to medicine. I wish I had found him earlier in life ! He really follows through with his patients. He also keeps himself up to date on all new medical and pharmaceutical recomendations though continuing his education. Dr. Andrews is an excellent internist .

Great doctor. Truly one of the most compassionate, caring, and skilled medical physcians who continually attends professional medical conferences to stay current and returns calls even in the evening or weekends. Excellent doctor.
