Dr. Lindsay Andersen takes her time with patients. Her goal is to understand each person’s background and how an injury is affecting them physically, mentally, and socially. She is committed to education and helps patients make informed decisions. She believes that for patients to have a great surgical outcome, they need to be engaged in and committed to their treatment and recovery plan.

Within orthopedics, Dr. Andersen specializes in shoulder and elbow injuries. She handles everything from reconstructive surgery, to joint replacements, to rotator cuff repairs.

Dr. Andersen graduated with a bachelor of science in chemistry from Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey. She earned a doctor of medicine from Columbia University in New York. She completed a residency in orthopedic surgery at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and a fellowship in shoulder and elbow surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.

Dr. Andersen was a ballet dancer for 20 years and understands the frustrations and limitations that can come with getting hurt. Today she enjoys visiting family in Denmark, exploring new countries, hiking, practicing yoga, and learning how to downhill ski.
