Solace Health

Dr. Andrew Hwang is a Family Medicine physician at Solace who has spent over two decades working within the healthcare system—first as a medical student and resident, then as a practicing physician for more than 12 years. A graduate of the University of Kansas School of Medicine, he's witnessed firsthand how often patients struggle to access the care they need, particularly those from underserved communities. These experiences fuel his passion for patient advocacy and his commitment to helping every person he meets through his work at Solace.

When he's not helping patients navigate the healthcare system, Dr. Hwang enjoys golfing, playing bass guitar, and spending time with his cats. His down-to-earth approach and genuine care for others reflect his belief that everyone deserves compassionate, accessible healthcare—and someone in their corner to help make it happen.
