He then attended University of Texas School of Dentistry in Houston. He graduated number one in his class, earning his D.D.S. in 2022, becoming the first dentist in his family. During dental school he completed the Academic Dental Career Fellowship Program and led a research project focused on perioperative hand hygiene.

Dr. Andrews’ interest in oral and maxillofacial surgery began early on in dental school inspired by the interface of medicine and dentistry and its unique scope as the surgical specialty of dentistry. He wants to serve his community and recognizes this field as an opportunity to help others with their oral and overall health.

In his spare time, he enjoys being active by going to the gym, road cycling, spending time outdoors, and reading.
