Dr. Jerome O. List, DDS, MD
Medical Doctor/Doctor of Dental Surgery
For patients, this means he has custom-tailored training designed to address the unique connection between these two medical fields.
Dr. List started his career in 1974 by attending the University of Costa Rica, where he also received his dental degree. He then completed training in oral surgery at the Pavlovsk Medical Institute in Leningrad, in what was then the USSR. Receiving both medical and dental training has allowed Dr. List to have additional insight into the otolaryngology – ear, nose, and throat – specialty, and he takes pride in providing excellent treatment for sinus issues, hearing problems, tonsillitis, TMJ disorders, facial and mandible fractures, sleep disorders, epilepsy with the vagus nerve stimulator, Levo therapy for tinnitus and more.
Dr. List is the director of Anchorage Project Access, which provides high-quality health care to low-income or uninsured patients, and he has worked with Kaiser Permanente.

Following completion of his training in 2008, Dr. Andrews accepted a position at the Alaska Native Medical Center, where he worked for 14 years and served as medical director of the ENT department from 2019 – 2022. Through training and experience he has developed a broad and deep comprehensive otolaryngology practice, including patients of all ages. Dr. Andrews came to medical school after an 8-year career in television news, and this prior experience has shaped his practice of medicine.
In his first career, Dr. Andrews worked as a newscast producer and reporter. As a professional journalist, Dr. Andrews was trained to ask good questions, to listen carefully to the answers, and to present material clearly and understandably. This translates to his approach to patients, and while in training, earned him an award for humanism in medicine.
