Dr. Richard Andrews, MD

I've been seeing Dr. Andrews for approximately half of my life, over 20 years. After going through a string of very poor Neurologists for my epilepsy, he stepped in and took me off of a laundry list of medications and got me to where I was functioning again. He takes the time to check on my life, not just my epilepsy, to see if there are factors that I may not be noticing that are affecting my stress levels. He has also given me referrals to therapists to help treat my anxiety. I live in Lincoln and he comes to town to allow his patients here to be seen without the need to drive to Omaha, he also does Skype appointments. As my pharmacy has had issues with getting my meds in via fax, his office takes the time to make sure to call everything in for me whenever my refills run out and they are very friendly.

After being treated by five other neurologists over 12 years, he was the first to prescribe a medicine that controlled my seizures 100%. Each appointment lasts about 30-40 minutes which is way longer than most physicians. He also charges less than most specialist I’ve seen (which has been a lot). He has a unique sense of humor which I appreciate. I highly recommend him.

We started seeing Dr Andrews when my daughter was having uncontrollable seizures. The first thing he said to me was that we will stop these seizures and improve her behavior and learning. We live 6 hours from his office and he has worked well with us doing Skype calls and having a team come to our home for 3 days to do an EEG. He’s very educated about medications and the effects they have. After a year of working with him I am happy to say my daughter is doing awesome..just like he promised me!

Dr. Andrew's spent over an hour educating us and helping us with our 7 month old infant son. He was honest and to the point! Thank you Dr. Andrew's for giving us the education, support and most importantly listening to our concerns for our son. It's hard to find providers that will listen to your concerns and help you put plans in place to help families struggling with special needs kiddos.

I have been seeing Dr. Andrews for years. He is well-educated not only about epilepsy but on almost every subject there is. I can get his advice about other health topics that I have also. He spends a lot of time with me, he never acts rushed. He takes the time to explain things in a way that you will fully understand. You don't leave his office thinking oh no I forgot to ask about this because Dr. Andrews already told you about it. I would recommend him to family and friends!

I was recommended to Dr. Andrews after the Neurologists in Lincoln could not get my grand mal and black out seizures under control. I was warned he had a quirky personality but I was diagnosed, meds changed and have not had a seizure since. I have been going to him every 6 months for 7 years now. He now comes to Lincoln so I don't have to travel and he takes his time at my appointments to make sure everything is ok. Just be prepared to wait because he does take his time with every patient.
