Hometown Roots
Dr. Andochick grew up in Frederick, Maryland graduating from Frederick High School in 1976. He initially followed his father's footsteps pursuing a degree in dentistry. Following dental school, Dr. Andochick then enrolled into medical school at West Virginia University where he graduated with honors and was elected president of A.O.A. - National Medical Honor Society. Students are accepted into AOA based upon placement in the top 5% of their class utilizing academics, clinical skills, and patient care. After medical school, Dr. Andochick spent 8 years in formal clinical training including a residency in general and plastic surgery at Stanford University Medical School. He then performed two years of special fellowship training in cosmetic surgery of the face and body at Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital, NYC followed by a second fellowship in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the breast at Baptist Hospital, Nashville, TN.
Dr. Andochick then started his practice in Frederick, Maryland in 1994. He built and founded the Andochick Center for Cosmetic Surgery, which is an office / surgical center complex on Thomas Johnson Drive in 2002. He has built his reputation not only on his extensive training and skills, but also thoughtful and caring demeanor with his patients. His sense of humor with patients and staff helps to alleviate anxiety that patients naturally feel before and after surgery.
