Dr Andres and his team are truly remarkable. They take the time to answer all of my questions and make me feel comfortable and at ease. I would recommend them to anyone.

Very skilled and personable! Reconstruction after mastectomy was excellent!

Steve Hunt

Was very rude to my wife who has cancer and treated her as though she was a horrible person. I am very furious about this.

After 3 previous “botched” breast surgeries from other doctors, I was feeling hopeless, frustrated, and had major doubts that my body could ever look normal or even halfway decent again.. Doctor Andres listened to my concerns, restored my hope, and exceeded all of my expectations. The results were way better than I could’ve expected. He is a very talented yet humble surgeon.. He takes the time to get to know his patients. His compassion for others is evident and overflowing. He continued to regularly follow up with my husband and I to see how I was feeling and recovering. “Doctors hours” never applied to this caring doctor. It didn’t matter if it was after hours or on a weekend, he is always responsive. We feel truly blessed to have found Dr. Andres.. If you are looking for a top notch surgeon with compassion, talent, and amazing results, look no further. There is nobody else that holds a candle to him. Trust me, I’ve been to several. Doctor Andres will always be my number one choice. I would also like to add that in my experience it is very rare that you go into any medical office that is fully staffed with amazing people.. This office is full of the friendliest, kindest, and most competent staff. You can tell what kind of a person Dr. Andres is based on his entire team.. It takes a great leader to have such an outstanding team.. They are all like one big beautiful happy family and they will happily welcome you as a new family member. They all bring so much comfort and joy. I’m not sure how all of those big beautiful hearts fit in one office.. I love every single one of them. Thank you all for everything you did for me ❤️

Aside from having no other plastic surgeon to compare my experience with, Dr. Andres' care during my breast reconstruction was nothing short of excellent! Dr. Andres performed a bilateral skin/nipple sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction, followed later with a fat grafting procedure to improve the reconstruction. My appointments booked with him were never rushed, he was quick to address all of my questions and concerns, and provided positive, reassuring comments to improve my moral. Also, the office staff were very courteous and professional! The whole experience made dealing with breast cancer a little bit easier!

I went to Dr. Andres for a Lower Tranconjunctival Blepharoplasty. I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Andres and his staff were professional and accommodating from consultation to post-op. My recovery process was nearly painless and the bruising was minimal - which I believe is a direct result of his skill and expertise as a surgeon. My experience with Dr. Andres proves he is more than deserving of all of the accolades, awards, and recognition he has received for his work in plastic surgery. Thank you, Dr. Andres.

Most compassionate, brilliant, responsive, kind surgeon and office, with exemplary standards, outcomes, and excellence in surgery, training, teaching, charity, publications, and the best peer reviews. Dr Anrdres has been a top Doctor in the valley in both 2015 and 2016 in two specialties. He is an expert in many areas of both reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery for men and women and children. He and his staff are perfection. I come out of a related field and with my husband's cancers, and my 19 surgeries, I have never met anyone of this caliber. Even though my medical procedure was covered by insurance with one other physician, I chose to do this self pay as I have many allergy issues, and healing issues. From the highest level of education at the top schools in the USA, Harvard, Columbia, Mayo and more to the accolades from his peers and clients to his ability to teach, publish and give back to so many disadvantaged, Dr. Andres is unbelievable. I have worked in three medical centers; one medical school and my husband and I have had a practice with hundreds of doctors as clients. YOU CANNOT DO BETTER THAN THIS SURGEON AND HIS STAFF.

An amazing Doctor that takes extra time to answer all questions that pertain to what he does. I had given up hope on ever having my breasts even coming close to being decent again. I had went to another plastic surgeon that had botched up things so bad, I couldn't even look at myself. Dr Andres was compassionate and caring. He said he would do the best he could at fixing them. He did amazing! I send everyone I know to him for everything. He is a God send.

I had a Diep Flap reconstruction to my left breast. Very involved procedure and Dr. Andres was wonderful. Was great to look down after the surgery to see I had a breast again. My down time was minimal due to the excellent work by Dr. Andres. His office staff is very professional and I always feel at ease when I visit. Highly recommend for breast reconstruction.

Amy Crump Sabin

Dr. Andres is a highly skilled surgeon who goes the extra mile for his patients. His kind demeanor puts you at ease especially when dealing with a stressful situation such as breast cancer. He is honest and caring. I am beyond grateful for all that he is done for me and ecstatic at my surgical results.

I had a bilateral mastectomy without nipple sparing and Dr. Andres worked with my breast surgeon(Dr. Lise Walker) during my initial surgery to ensure the procedure ran as smoothly as possibly. They were an amazing team! I had my initial surgery in March 2015 where Dr. Andres placed expanders to begin the process of slowly allowing my skin and pectoral muscles to shift and "expand" for my next surgery...reconstruction. I had visits every other week for months and between Brittany (his assistant), Katy (his front office reception) and Dr. Andres himself, I was treated with respect, kindness and felt cared for at all times. When I had my reconstruction in July 2015, I had no difficulties and healed wonderfully. My scars are minimal compared to other pictures I've seen of women with my similar experience. I would recommend Dr. Andres and his office to anyone looking for a skilled surgeon who truly cares for and about his patients.

Meeting Dr Andres has been life changing! I found out I was BRCA positive at the age of 18 and since finding out, I would often have nightmares of how the surgeries would leave my body looking. Ive always been insecure about how my body looked but I could only imagine how insecure I would feel after moving forward with a prophylactic mastectomy. I couldn't have been more wrong and I'm so thankful I met Dr Andres. When going through a procedure like this, the Dr you choose is everything and Dr Andres and his staff truly care about all their patients (I know this because my friend and another family member are also patients and have had the same experience). Thanks to Dr Andres, I now have perfect breast (after 3 kids, they were far from perfect prior to my surgery) and a positive self body image that I NEVER thought was possible. Dr Andres is truly gifted and AMAZING at what he does. I now LOVE my breast and I couldn't be more thankful for what Dr Andres has done for me! It was important for me to write a review in hopes that it would help anyone else getting ready to go through their own transformation.

Professional, courteous, and considerate staff. Warm, comforting, and aesthetic atmosphere. Experienced, knowledgeable, and talented surgeon. I would highly recommend Dr. Andres to anyone seeking breast reduction, augmentation, or reconstructive surgery. He does beautiful work!

Judith Hull

Horrible experience!! He reconstructed my left breast after a mastectomy and didn't make it symmetrical with the healthy breast so now I am lopsided. I am 2 sizes larger than the healthy breast- I am devastated!!! Not cracked up to his reviews...RUN FROM HIM!!!

Dr. Andres was and is such a blessing to my family and I - he was always so kind, helpful, knowledgeable, skilled and caring at each of my appointments before and after my double mastectomy. I would (and have ) highly recommended him as a wonderful doctor for breast reconstruction to anyone who is going through something similar to my experience. He did a wonderful job and I feel so grateful to have met him and to have had the opportunity to be one of his many patients. Thank you Dr. Andres for being such a huge blessing to me and my family.

I have never met a doctor with a worse bedside manner than Dr. Andres. I was referred to him by my breast surgeon after learning I had breast cancer. I was given the option of lumpectomy followed by radiation vs. double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction by my breast surgeon. Though I was leaning towards double mastectomy, I was hoping to talk through the pros and cons of each from a cosmetic perspective with Dr. Andres. At my consult he showed no empathy for my personal situation, or willingness to talk through the surgical options. Apparently he doesn't expect anyone to have questions when they come into his office. Instead he referred me back to my breast surgeon for answers. I found his communication style to be short, cold and defensive. I have since relayed the encounter with my breast surgeon's office and will be seeking a new plastic surgeon.

I went to Dr Lewis Albert Andres, for help after a scan showed that both my implants had in fact been ruptured. And Dr Andres is a great Dr and ver honest great bedside manner and always pleasant. I had an appointment with him and he was very honest with me about the surgery and what to expect and also not putting implants back in until after 6-8 months. I decided to do the explant surgery as soon as possible to get the implants out and I am never putting something like that back in since the age of 23 I have had 8 surgeries on my chest and Dr Andres was very honest with me and told me the truth, I honestly was very happy with his work and the office is filled with lovely skilled workers that really do become your family, everyone is so nice, I would recommend Dr Andres for implant and explant surgery, he is the very best.
