Celestine Williams: I have been a patient of Dr. Andrews for nearly 25 years and he has always been kind and a great listener. He cares about his patient. I highly recommend him as an endocrinologist.

Rachel Kate: I had been going to Dr. Andrew's for about 17 years and for the most part he helped in the beginning. After I had my first child I ran into issues with my thyroid and of course my health. I kept complaining of fatigue and heart palpitations, which in return he would higher my dose. I might add that I have Hashimoto's disease and with that comes certain deficiencies, which at the time I was not aware of. I started researching and found that I should probably have my ferritin, iron binding capacity, b12, and vitamin d3 checked. There were a couple of others I asked him to check as well, but my messages were never answered and I was desperate to feel better. My mom luckily found me a new endocrinologist and by the time I started seeing him I was miserable. He told me I was on too much levothyroxine for my body weight for one and another I was anemic and was deficient in b12, d3, and magnesium. They had to ween me off of my high dose of 137 mcg down to 100 mcg. I was so thankful I finally found someone to listen, do the appropriate blood work, and help me feel alive again!! I'm not sure why Dr. Andrew's wouldn't listen to me or do the appropriate blood work for someone suffering with an autoimmune disease, but I hope he does better for other's. I do not regret leaving his care.

Ryan Dahlquist: I have been seeing Dr. Andrews for over 20 years. He's fantastic and I would not be where I am today if it was not for him. If some of these negative reviews were even remotely true I would not have stuck around for 20 years. He's always there when I need him. His nurse Julie is amazing. He's very smart and he's held many admin jobs at the hospital rightfully so.

Rebecca Chappell: Since I am claustrophobic I dreaded getting an MRI, especially since I previously had a bad experience with one. It was my good fortune to have Anna as my technician this time around. She made a world of difference in the way she handled the process from beginning to end. She kept me informed of each step, encouraged me and showed sincere empathy for me, the patient. Thank you Anna!

michael c: Received outstanding care in the ER for hand laceration despite a packed ER. Jenn, NP stitched me back together with steady hands and Bianca, RN were both rock stars in providing care. 5 ⭐️ . Thank you again.

Arquetta Fell: My experience for 7 days with the Icu and hospices staff was Amazing regarding my mother.

V Martin: It was great. No issues.

Jennifer Nichols: It was better then I thought it would be, but, I feel like I wasn't really even treated I saw one person when i was checked in just to sit in a chair and get x-rays no one really evaluated my injury I saw mainly a nurse. I mean the staff where very nice from what time I did see them, bit it sure didn't feel like I was receiving any kind of care.

Katie Conyers: The only reason I'm giving a two star rating instead of a one star is because the nurse practitioner and final nurse of my visit did seem to care and want to provide help.I was in the ER for over 8 hours for severe abdominal/ovary pain. In that time, I never was moved to a room. After I went through triage, they moved me into another waiting area full of other post-triage patients. Not only was it incredibly uncomfortable, especially already being in abdominal pain, but there was no sense of privacy. Any and all information from registration to medical news, was given in front of everyone in the waiting hallway.I needed to have a CT scan to try to determine the cause for my pain. I got the scan in a timely manner, but then proceeded to sit there for over 3 hours before a nurse finally decided to investigate why they hadn't heard anything. Apparently someone had forgotten to submit my results resulting in the lengthy delay.At the time of triage the nurse practitioner said she wanted to start me on an IV of fluids and Zofran. Once I was finally called back to see the NP about 4 hours later, she wanted to know if I was feeling better after the meds. That was the first opportunity I had to mention to anyone that I never received the meds she prescribed FOUR HOURS EARLIER. No one came to check on me in the waiting hallway once the entire time I was there.My final complaint is about the "paramedic" that did my blood draw and put the the IV port in. She was so busy talking with a coworker about when she was going to be off and what she was going to do that she could hardly give me time of day. She roughly stabbed the needle and then proceeded to have to dig around trying to hit the vein. I don't have scientific proof, just the opinion from a physician at another ER that I had to go to a week later, that the rough injection has now caused a superficial blood clot in that arm.

Donetta Moore: As always, very caring and kind people

Natress KELLEY: As usual, good patient service.

Isaiah Mitchell: This place is not good

Brenda Tillery: Competent and efficient staff in Emergency Room & Radiology.

Maya Dotson: The medical staff are friendly but this last visit I felt when being discharged I was being brushed off/ hurried to get me out. Nothing was explained regarding results from my ultrasound/ x-ray. Just shown results were in my discharge folder. I had to ask what to do about my swelling behind my knee. At this point I'm dissatisfied with Center Medical Center as a whole including their ortho doctors. I will be seeking care in St. Louis I know I will get the proper care there. I will say the ER follow up scheduling department has been great trying to help me schedule follow up appointment.

Vicky Combs: In my most recent experience there on May 16, 2023 the level of incompetence in the clinic where I was sent for my procedure was down right dangerous! I will never go to Centerpoint again, am in the process of having all my doctors changed to the KU system, and will be happy to explain in great detail why the situation at Centerpoint was so dangerous to anyone seeking the information.

Mike Smith: My visit was just fine everyone working there really helped me and I am feeling much better now

John Dold: The doctors and nurses were wonderful. The Physical Therapistswere great. Very very happy with the care I received.

Ellen Jackson: Staff was great. Procedure was easy and technician and nurses were awesomeThanks for taking such good care of me while I go through treatment. God bless you all

Nathan Wertheimer: Made an appt when I was 17, forced to wait from October to January for the appt just for them to try to cancel it because I'd turned 18 a week or two prior to that appointment WHICH THEY KNEW AT THE TIME OF THEM SCHEDULING IT. Leaving me without healthcare despite promising to treat me up until the age of 21 due to being in their system already.They are all made aware of the fact they are the only.olace I have been able to receive treatment due to homelessness, the cost, and no legal documentation to get treated someone else so their solution? Leave a barely 18 year old without healthcare despite saying they (children's mercy as a whole) intended to treat me for 3 more years.

Amy M: A lifesaving affirming clinic full of the most accepting & kind medical professionals.

Lauren: Absolutely NO WHERE TO PARK.

Chelse Love: Great place.

K.O Grahamz: I love the place but I just sent my baby to the er because she was dizzy and sugar had been high almost all day and called to have doctor paged and because her bg was in range there was no need to page doctor😤😤
