Meet Dr. Andrews & Our Team
Meet Dr. Andrews
Dr. Andrews knew early in life that he wanted to help people feel good about themselves. Becoming an orthodontist gave him the opportunity to do just that by improving patients’ smiles and overall self-confidence. After graduating from the University of South Carolina, Dr. Andrews attended the Medical University of South Carolina College of Dental Medicine where he graduated near the top of his class. In addition to scoring one of the highest scores on part one of the National Dental Board Exam; he was active in leadership serving as Class Vice-President, President of his dental fraternity Psi Omega, and Editor in the American Student Dental Association.
Dr. Andrews continued his education after dental school by specializing in orthodontics at the Medical College of Georgia. Furthermore, Dr. Andrews went above and beyond and became Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a distinction not all orthodontists share.
Dr. Andrews has continued to stay involved in organized dentistry by serving as President of the Augusta Dental Society (2011-2012) and as President of the Eastern District Dental Society (2011-2012). Dr Andrews remains active in dental leadership roles and has served as President of the Augusta Dental Society, President of the Eastern District Dental Society, and is currently the President of the Georgia Association of Orthodontists.
When not practicing excellent family orthodontics, Dr. Andrews enjoys spending time with his wife, Alison, his three daughters, Katie, Lauren, and Kelly, and his son Lee III. Dr. Andrews is also a huge Carolina football fan and loves to watch his Gamecocks in the fall.
