Patient Reviews
Dec 14, 2024
Dr Edwards operated on my right hand in October 2021. I am experiencing issues with my shoulders, elbows and wrists. When all the usual culprits were ruled out by my family doctor and she recommended seeing an orthopedic surgeon the decision was a “no brainer”! This man listens and genuinely cares. If I could give a higher rating I would!!
