About Andrew Lu, MD
Andrew Lu, MD is a board-certified internal medicine specialist who treats a wide spectrum of diseases in adult patients. Additionally, Dr. Lu has a further sub-specialty in both hematology and medical oncology, which has prepared him to offer a deeper level of expertise in benign and malignant blood disorders as well as solid cancers.
As a physician, “I think a core and crucial aspect of my role is to support through education. It is one of the most gratifying feelings to help bring relief to a patient through understanding their disease and implications, he says. Dr. Lu feels that especially in cancer care, it cannot be overstated that autonomy is of paramount importance, and that the physician should strive to intuit and help patients perceive their own choices to serve them best.
Most important to Dr. Lu during a patient visit is for the patient to feel seen, understood, and that they come to feel reassured that every last question will be addressed. He enjoys connecting with patients through guidance, comfort and teaching. As an oncologist, he is passionate about outreach, fundraising, and awareness for all cancers. Outside of medicine, the doctor is also a huge supporter of public libraries including access to extracurricular activities, technological access, and education for children.
When not treating patients, Dr. Lu is avidly involved with sports and fitness, particularly with Crossfit. Feeling agency and strength in physical movement is very important to him. He is also passionate about sports photography and videography. He would like to educate the community about cancer diagnosis and treatment concerning myths surrounding chemotherapy agents and newer available targeted therapies, plus nutrition and fitness as it relates to cancer care.
