Ethel Andrews's Online Review Report Card

I used to go to this doctor a few years ago. She diagnosed me bipolar. She would ask my mom for updates and she kept recommending to my mother that she hospitalize me for any and everything. She kept upping my meds and I never felt better. Now I went to a new doctor. I'm so glad I did. He works with me. I have stopped my meds and I am doing very well! Best choice I ever made was to leave dr.andrews

I love Dr. Andrews and have been seeing her for about 10 years. I don't understand any of the negative comments about her as a doctor. My whole family is happier and healthier having her care for our mental health. She works part-time as she is semi-retired so scheduling is tough.

We took our ADHD/ASD daughter to see Dr. Andrews because she was one of the few that were covered by our insurance (and sadly, of the few, she was the highest rated). We were extremely let down. She does not listen, our appointments are always rushed, yet she is always running behind. Of four appointments, we had to reschedule three (only that was not rescheduled was the initial). Then for our last that was rescheduled (supposedly because she had a lunch conference) she was 45 minutes late (out of our 1 hour session). This didn't mean she would be running behind for the rest of the day though. She just had us in and out in a matter of minutes. Her office staff is incompetent... we were supposed to have a letter drafted, she took a huge folder we had put together that was very detailed, and the letter never got written. We were told we would need to schedule an appointment to have the letter written and we told them that was what our last one was for. The staff asked us to hold, said they checked the file and there was nothing in the file. I told her to have the doctor call us back, which when she did, she was very apologetic and said she did have everything she needed and that she would write it and send it out to us. The office staff called again to ask where they should send the letter, and when we received it, it was completely wrong (referenced the wrong program, etc.), so it was unusable and due to the delay, we missed our deadline for its intention. Would recommend you look elsewhere, payout out of network costs would be well worth your while...

Call someone else if you need a doctor. Their phone help is completely unprofessional, rude, and argumentative. I called to because I was referred to them by my health insurer for telepsychiatry. The person who answered the phone, first off, answered with, "Hello." She then became upset that they were listed as doing telepsychiatry. When I kindly suggested that they contact my insurer so they can remove the tag (and thus avoid more phone calls regarding telepsychiatry) the receptionist became became hostile. Your business starts with those one the front lines that great your customers and patients. If this is what Dr. Ethel Andrews finds acceptable, then it's safe to assume her care for patients is just as poor.

Only seems interested in putting my daughter in a inpatient facility, claiming she has made no progress, even though there has been plenty but she refuses to listen and gets hostile if you do anything but agree with her. Office keeps poor records and keeps trying to give the wrong prescription with "no record" of the correct prescription, even though it had been prescribed the previous month. Stay away!

Thinks self harm and suicide are the same thing. Stay away!

After my son had a panic attack at school and rather than calling us and giving him time to calm down, they called EMS and had him transported to the hospital. While there, Dr Andrews refused to come to see him, but decided to have him committed based on school and EMS reports. Finally had to go over her head and call in another psychiatrist who deemed our son not in danger, but this was not before spending 33 hours in the ER. She's lazy, incompetent and arrogant. Avoid at all costs.

This counselor is a rape apologist and is of no help to anyone. Please save your time and money and see someone else.

would never recommend

Could not agree more with previous review, after 3 yrs of very successful work we lost our daughters doctor, she was the replacement, what a waste of time and money, all she wanted to do was to totally take her off her ADD meds, that was the only thing she ever talked about, then she tried to tell us that my daughter was not growing correctly and she wasn't gaining enough weight, when we asked her what the last 3 readings for her weight and height, we new she'd grown almost 5 inches over the last year, she hadn't even recorded them, she's a fraud!!!! We in the process right now of finding a new doctor right now.
