Andrews Orthodontics

I’d like to start by saying that I had braces once before as a child, back in 1998 – 2001. I had them for a couple of years for severe crowding, and had a palate expander, as well. I was awful about wearing my retainers. I also got my wisdom teeth extracted a little too late (and they were severely impacted). Needless to say, these factors led to me needing orthodontic work again in my adult life.
Fast forward to present day! Having heard nothing but wonderful things about Dr. Sara Andrew’s orthodontic work, I decided to schedule a consultation with her. I had multiple consultations with various orthodontists, and Dr. Sara was by far an easy choice to make when I was ready to proceed. Her kind bedside manner surpassed any of the others I met with, and she really listened to all of my concerns about my teeth. She literally took the time to go through every option available that she felt would benefit me, was very honest, and listened to my input regarding what I felt the most comfortable with. Lauren, her treatment coordinator, was also extremely knowledgeable, and helped to answer my questions (both treatment-​related and finance-​related). I booked my ‘start’ appointment with her that same day.
I was a definite candidate for Invisalign, but knowing my personality flaws, I know I would be awful with wearing my aligners all day long. I decided to go with Damon Clear. My teeth were only sore for the first week or so, and the Damon brackets are much more comfortable than the traditional braces I wore when I was younger (the glory of technology advances)! The Damon brackets are also a bit smaller and more aesthetically appealing than other braces that I’ve seen. I am so, so glad I chose Dr. Sara. She is a top-​notch orthodontist, and her office is absolutely beautiful with state-​of-​the-​art equipment. I will continue to recommend friends, family and acquaintances to her. You will not be disappointed!

My son Kian is a patient of Dr. Andrews and I must say that I’m highly impressed with her professional services. She has been great through out his treatment. I’m glad we chose her as this orthodontist. I highly recommend Dr. Andrews.

Dr. Andrews was very helpful during my orthodontic treatment. I felt right at home, and felt comfortable with the care I was receiving. She promptly answered all of my questions. Her office is bright and very clean. Dr. Andrews and her team are friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. I feel lucky to have found Dr. Andrews, and recommend her to those seeking a great orthodontist.

You can expect nothing but excellence and professionalism from the team at Andrews Orthodontics! During my first visit to this office I was greeted by Dr. Andrews’ friendly receptionist Lauren, who then took me through the office for an introductory tour. All I can say is wow! One can tell that Dr. Andrews takes pride in her practice and the level of care for her patients based on the up-​to-​date technology and impeccable cleanliness of her facility. After my tour with Lauren, I met Dr. Andrews for a consultation about an on-​going issue I’ve had ever since my first round of braces as a teenager. What really impressed me was how thorough and knowledgeable Dr. Andrews was during my examination. She not only answered all of my questions, but knew right away how to resolve the issue. Now a little bit of what to expect during procedure time: Dr. Andrews makes sure that her patients are always comfortable while in the chair, keeps her patients in the know by explaining what she is doing along the way and why, and most importantly, Dr. Andrews is very gentle and has a great bedside manner. I would recommend anyone looking for an all-​around, great provider to see Dr. Sara Andrews!

I have had my Invisalign now for almost two months and I’m so glad I chose Dr. Andrews. I’d been putting off getting my teeth fixed for almost 20 years and have had other Orthodontists recommended to me in the past.
One of the main reasons I chose Dr. Andrews is that she is board certified. More importantly thought really for me, I heard Dr. Andrews speak on a prior occasion about her practice where her true passion and genuine love for the work she does shone through.
Lauren, her assistant, is so helpful and friendly with the scheduling and is very sincere. She makes you feel welcome and like she actually cares about you, not treating you as «just another patient». They both will also work to help make sure everything goes smoothly with your insurance. I’m a huge fan…

I recently met Dr Sara at her practice in San Carlos. Her friendly receptionist greeted me and made me feel very welcome. Dr Sara gave me a tour of her brand new surgery. It has all the latest equipment and up to date techniques to treat dental patients. What I liked about it the most is that it was very well designed and didn’t feel institutional like most orthodontics. I felt like I was at a spa! Dr Sara is highly educated and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to my friends and family members.

I’ve been Dr. Sara’s patient for under a year now and have been thoroughly satisfied with my treatment and progress thus far. Before I met Dr. Sara, I had gone for several initial consultations with orthodontists to discuss the treatment plan right for me. While most of them had worthy credentials and experience, what separated Dr. Sara from the rest of them is that she really examines your condition and listens to you. Be it your prior experience with braces or your concerns or even a nagging issue, she listens and responds to each and every concern and/​or question accurately and with empathy. That she has extraordinary credentials and experience only highlights how extremely competent and confident she is with her craft.
Throughout the entire process and during our on-​going appointments, she explains exactly what is going to be done and if you are really interested (like I am), she will also go in detail on why a certain procedure (replacement of wires, putting on elastic bands) is needed and what exactly it is going to correct. This has always put me at ease as I know exactly what to expect and what to look out for before my next appointment. She is very hands on and while she has a competent staff (both administrative and clinical), she always ensures that everything is done right and signs off every little procedure personally which I like.
I know that there are a lot of orthodontists in San Francisco and the bay area and with it comes a plethora of choices to consider. For most of us, this is a lifetime decision and does involve time, effort and yes, money. I would highly recommend having an initial consultation with Dr. Sara and her team and you will not regret it.
