Christine McAndrew, Physician Assistant, works alongside the chair of the department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania. She assists Dr. Scott Levin with his patient load of 45 to 60 patients a day, and she sees her own 15 to 28 patients a day during her own clinic hours.  She also supervises 34 advanced practitioners within her department.
