​Dr. McAndrews extensive background in horses includes eventing, as well as managing and training horses for a thoroughbred racehorse rescue group. She is a United States Pony Club graduate. Driven by a life-long desire to be an equine veterinarian, Dr. McAndrews attended Michigan State University, completing a bachelor’s degree before graduating with a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2009. She completed an internship at an equine hospital in Arizona in 2009 - 2010. After her internship, Dr. McAndrews was an equine general practitioner in New Jersey. During her time as a general practitioner, her interests and caseload became increasingly focused on equine dentistry. She found she could significantly improve her patient’s quality of life by addressing problems found through a comprehensive oral exam. Garden State Equine Veterinary Dentistry was founded in 2015, with the goal of being able to help more horses through better oral health.

Dr. McAndrews completed a rigorous equine dentistry residency program in 2016 - 2020. During her residency, she was fortunate to travel the county, learning techniques from the veterinary dentists that developed them. Her professional interests include using minimally invasive techniques for better outcomes in equine oral surgery. She regularly presents to equine veterinarians on dental disease and teaches equine dentistry to veterinary students.
