Care Philosophy
My approach to patient care is to place the patient at the center of the team. I like to involve patients in the decision making process regarding their cardiac care. Whether we are deciding with medications to start or what advanced therapies to pursue, I always tell patients that they know themselves better than I do, and we will work together as a team to determine their plan of care.

Dr. Andrade was amazing. She took her time, asked about my history and other medical experiences (which encompassed 9 years). She listened and then explained what she thought would be the best way to go forward. I was definitely impressed by her knowledge, pleasant nature, and ability to explain in terms I understood. Future follow up visits were explained and written information was provided.

Dr. Andrade is one of the most compassionate, caring physicians I have ever encountered. She takes the time to explain things and answer questions without making me ever feel rushed or like I'm inconveniencing her. She takes the time to get to know her patients and their level of understanding of their condition and healthcare in general and ensure she communicates information in a way that meets the patient where they're at. I feel so fortunate to have her on my cardiac team as my heart failure specialist.
