Profile of Andy Hand, Dr

Dr. Andy Hand is a board certified plastic surgeon who has traveled the country and world throughout his life.

Although he has returned to Texas many times over the years, military and academic pursuits have kept him from setting his roots. Although he could have practiced anywhere in the world, he now calls Central Texas his home. Since he started his Waco practice in 2011, he has performed thousands of successful cosmetic procedures and has become renowned for his surgical artistry.

He served his country honorably for 8 years in the medical field and separated from his military service while in South Carolina, where he subsequently graduated from the University of South Carolina with both undergraduate and medical degrees. He was acknowledged for his high academic achievements as indicated by his induction into the Golden Key International Honour Society, as well as receiving the Dean's Scholarship during medical school.

He again returned to Texas for his general surgery internship training at the Methodist Hospital in Dallas. There he trained alongside numerous prominent plastic surgeons, which further fueled his interest in plastic surgery. He subsequently traveled to the Midwest where he completed his general surgery training in Wisconsin at the Gundersen Lutheran Medical Foundation, one of the top community surgery programs in the country. There he consistently performed among the top of his peers on the American Board of Surgery Inservice Exam and authored multiple research papers in the surgical literature and presented at regional meetings. He was also given the honor of being chosen to be an instructor of Advanced Trauma Life Support for the American College of Surgeons.
