Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Misdiagnosis
Couldn’t figure out a simple bacterial infection. She wanted to put me on steroids for over a month when my eye wasn’t healing at all from an infection. She could have easily prescribed me a dose of antibiotics. I visited her over 10x and she was of no use. Obviously as a dr if one treatment plan isn’t helping, you go on to the next. Finally, my PCP prescribed me a dose of antibiotics and I healed. She then tried to tell me it wasn’t the antibiotics that helped.

Dr. Edell is the best ophthalmologist I have seen regarding my dry eye problem. She helped me tackle this difficult condition and I no longer have to put drops or ointment in my eyes. It is a great relief to have solved this issue and I can not thank her enough. She is professional, courteous and answered my questions so that I could understand my condition. I highly recommend Dr. Edell.

I had a very uncommon type of amoeba eye infection, and Dr. Edell's timely diagnosis is the only reason I made a 100% recovery and am able to see out of my left eye today. She is extremely kind and committed to giving her patients the best possible care.

Dr. Edell is what I wish all doctors could be. Two other doctors couldn't diagnose me and she figured out my problem in 5 minutes. She was so patient and took so much time to explain and answer all my questions. I was going blind and in a panic and it turns out what I had can be cured. How often do you find doctors who are smart and also really gentle and honest.
