About Me

I’m Andrea Phinney, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at Phelps Health. I joined Phelps Health in August 2024 and focus on foot and ankle orthopedics. My most commonly performed surgeries are total ankle and knee replacement procedures.

My father, also an orthopedic surgeon, greatly influenced me from a young age. In school, I loved science and biology. Medicine offers a perfect blend of intellectual curiosity and human connection. Orthopedics specifically appealed to me because of its hands-on approach and direct patient impact.

My goals in caring for my patients are to develop a trusting relationship and provide the best care possible. I will validate and support them in their personal journey, whether through conservative care or surgery. Each patient is unique and should be evaluated as an individual. Above all, I respect my patients’ right to make their own decisions.

I was born in Chicago, Illinois, and raised in Illinois and Missouri. My husband, who grew up in Washington, Missouri, and I were looking for a rural setting to raise a family. Not only did Phelps Health check this box, but it also has an excellent reputation.

My husband and I are very outdoorsy. We enjoy camping, backpacking, hiking, fishing and kayaking. I’m an avid fiction reader and also like to garden, bake and cook. I love spicy foods and trying different ethnic recipes. One dog and cat complete our family.

The provider actually listened to my concerns and was extremely knowledgeable. I felt comfortable that the provider knew what I needed and informed me of information I was never told by my previous provider. I have referred my husband to this provider.

Office was on time for my appointment. Tech listened & took notes. Doctors was wonderful!!! Very caring, explained what was going on with me, explained how she was going to treat me & gave me an estimate of how long of a process this would be. The Nurse was very professional. She explained what she was going to do to treat me & then while treating me, explained what she was doing every step of the way. The doctor also stopped back in to check on everything & make sure once again, if I had any questions. Superb work on every front!
