Dr. Andrea French

General and Minimally Invasive Surgery

Andrea French, MD, MS, FACS

Dr. French has been a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons since 2010. In addition to her general surgery practice in the Bay Area, she worked as a Healogics certified wound and hyperbaric medicine specialist in a Healogics wound clinic. Although her practice includes a broad spectrum of general surgery including, but not limited to gallbladder disease, endocrine disease, hernias and breast surgery, she has a special focus in minimally invasive surgery for gastroesophageal reflux disease, colon cancer and benign colorectal disease. Dr. French’s experience also extends to diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic intervention such as colonoscopies and endoscopies to locate and potentially remove precancerous and cancerous lesions.  

Dr. French strives to create a supportive, empathetic, patient centered doctor-patient experience for healing to minimize the impact of surgery on her patient’s lives. She does this by using  advanced surgical techniques to shorten the physical impact of surgery on her patients and by providing the personal attention each patient needs to minimize the stress of the surgical experience.
