Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I will recommend Dr. Andrews without hesitation.
Dr. Andrews made a not so enjoyable experience very easy and tolerable. The doctor is very kind and knowledgeable and puts you at ease. I have recommended him to my husband who needs this procedure next year and to other family and friends. I have the highest regard for his expertise and advice.

I had been suffering from a stomach malady for over 20 years. Dr. Andrews ordered some tests, identified the problem, and corrected it almost immediately. I am completely well now after being miserable for over 20 years. I am a retired United States Army Veteran and a former employee of the United States Department of Labor. WELL DONE DOCTOR!! KUDOS!!!
