What our clientS say

Very friendly and efficient staff; very friendly and knowledgeable doctor. Dr. Andrawis and his team had me evaluated, including x-rays and a physical examination, and on my way within 15 minutes of arrival. He listened well to my symptoms and demonstrated an appropriate level of expertise. I would highly recommend him and his team for knee issues.

Dr Andrawis gave me a beautiful right hip replacement. Within a month I was walking well and out of pain. My hip had been a real mess prior to surgery. I live near the cliffs and now, five months post surgery, I’m back to hiking and loving it. Dr Andrawis is amazing!
