"It is my pleasure to give highest recommendations to Andy LaGuardia, who served as the Senior Director for Network Strategic Communications at WMCHealth. Andy’s proactive approach to public relations and marketing made a significant impact on our growing Ophthalmology department. Andy consistently went above and beyond by identifying and seizing opportunities to elevate our department's visibility.

One of his standout achievements was booking one of our doctors for a national TV show, a major opportunity that significantly boosted our profile. Additionally, Andy expertly positioned another doctor as a national subject matter expert during key press interviews, showcasing his ability to build credibility and promote our physicians as leaders in the field.

Beyond these high-profile placements, Andy also ensured that our team was consistently featured in the media whenever a relevant ophthalmology topic was in the news, helping us stay top-of-mind with the public and referring providers. His proactive outreach and strategic thinking meant that we were always ahead of the curve in terms of securing press opportunities. This was especially valuable for newer or younger faculty members.

Andy is a terrific communicator and strategist who knows how to create impactful promotional opportunities. His dedication to our success and his ability to recognize and act on timely media opportunities were invaluable. He is also kind, friendly, and approachable. I highly recommend Andy to any organization seeking someone with sharp capabilities in strategic communications and media relations."

"Since I am an Infectious Diseases specialist, Andrew contacted me for media appearances about emerging infections like measles and influenza. He was always available, motivated and a pleasure to work with. I had almost no prior experience and Andrew patiently trained me on all the basics. He coached me through zoom and in-studio TV appearances as well as social media interviews and posts. Andrew always knew just what to say to help me highlight my message and break it down to digestible parts. He was enthusiastic, encouraging, and fun to be with. He had a great grasp on medical issues and an innate ability to present them to a lay public. So far, I have had more than 20 appearances and thoroughly enjoy working with Andrew any time he calls me. I have learned so much from him!"
