Portrait of a Professional
Dr. Will Andrews
his own boss. What appealed to me most at the
time was the part about being my own boss. My
parents didn't even know that I was applying to
dental school until letters started arriving at their
home.
CH: Where and when did you complete your dental education?

WA: I enrolled in dental school at UCLA, still
unsure if dentistry was for me. I decided to treat
the first year as a trial period to find out if I had
an aptitude for it and if I enjoyed it enough to
make a career of it. I have to give a fair amount
of credit to my three roommates, who made life
fun and interesting and were also very dedicated
students. Their study habits rubbed off on me
and I began to enjoy the dental school experience more and more.
I got my first inkling to consider specializing in
orthodontics in my first year at UCLA when my
father's name appeared as the answer to a multiple choice question on an exam in a pre-doc
orthodontic class taught by Pat Turley. Later, Dr.
Turley was kind enough to work with me and my
roommate, Howard Freedman, on a research project involving a survey of orthodontists on the
prevalence of spontaneous tooth devitalization
during orthodontic treatment. It was my first
foray into any sort of research, and I was grateful
for Dr. Turley's patience and guidance. He also
wrote a letter of recommendation for me when it
came time to apply to orthodontic residencies,
which I'm sure was a significant factor in my
being accepted. Two of my roommates went on
to oral and maxillofacial surgery residencies at
Parkland Hospital in Dallas, and the other two of
us went on to orthodontic residencies at UCSF. I
finished dental school in 1990 and went straight
to residency. I successfully surprised my parents,
yet again, when I announced that I had applied
to and gotten into an orthodontic residency.
CH: Tell me about your orthodontic residency.
WA: UCSF was wonderful. I was fortunate to have
learned under a fantastic faculty at a program
with a great tradition. As I mentioned before,
my dental school roommate Howard Freedman
was also accepted at UCSF, and he remained my
roommate during our residency. He is now practicing in Canby, OR, teaches part-time at OHSU,
and remains a dear friend. My other classmates
at UCSF were Dan Burstein, who practices in the
Atlanta area, Ray Maxwell, who is in the Seattle
area, Janine Nguyen, who is in Orange County,
and Linda Hallman, who became the founding
chair of the orthodontic residency program at
Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C.
(the name has recently changed to the MedStar
Washington Hospital Center Orthodontic Residency Program).
CH: Who were your faculty mentors?
WA: Our chairman was Dr. Robert Boyd, who is
now chair at UOP. Dr. Boyd was a real students'
advocate; he allowed us to soak in courses from
any and all. It was a very open-minded approach,
which I loved. The program provided excellent
didactic and clinical exposure to surgery (Dr.
Lenny Kaban), TMD (Dr. Charles McNeil), craniofacial anomalies (Dr. Karin Vargervik), and perioortho (Dr. Boyd). We also learned from Dr. Sheldon
Baumrind (scientific literature review), Dr. Sunil
Kapila (biomechanics, statistics), Dr. Rodney Lee
(cephalometrics and biomechanics), Dr. David
Hatcher (imaging), Art Miller (research design)
and the incomparable Dr. Fred Fulmer, who
administered the requisite indoctrination into
the Tweed philosophy. "Big Daddy" Gene West
was a professor emeritus at that time, and still
covered clinic a half-day per week, as did his son
Steve West.
In addition, we were loaded with great parttimers like George Payne, Brian Payne, Earl John-
