Andrew is a provider that works closely with Dr. Maltry in treating conditions of the hip and knee. He runs his own weekly clinic at TOI on Fridays.

Andrew holds advanced degrees from DePaul University and Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. As an undergraduate he attended the University of Kansas and is an avid Jayhawk basketball fan. Prior to his medical training, Andrew was a professional musician with the US Navy.

What is a PA?
A PA is a healthcare provider that is nationally certified to practice medicine. They are trained in the medical model, very similar to physicians, at the Masters level. As such, PAs can diagnose illness, develop treatment plans, prescribe medications, and perform procedures. PAs also work in the operating room as surgical first assist.
