Patient Reviews
May 15, 2024
Dr. Edwards appears to be a matter of fact kind of doctor. Listens with eye contact. Doesn't beat around the bush and also appears to take the path to treatment without surgery, if possible. Dr. Edwards is professional without being 'stuffy.' Encouraging to let the patient know he is there if need - just call for an appointment. I'll definitely continue to see him as needed. Very satisfied with my visits.
