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.

Very unprofessional
I went to Dr. Edwards for a shoulder injury. At the time, I was working as an EMT and was injured from a fall at work. Dr. Edwards literally slapped me on the inside of my forearm and asked if I felt any “tingling”, which I did slightly, and he made his diagnosis based on that. He said I had a “stinger”, which is basically a nerve issue. He also told me I was “too old” to be an EMT and I should “move on and find a new career.” I was only 32 at the time. He is an arrogant, pompous man who acts as if he has better things to do.Turns out, after going to a different doctor, I had a torn rotator cuff and labrum. Dr. Edwards is a joke of a doctor. Please, find someone else, he doesn’t even deserve one star.

GO FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR! He is an embarrassed to the medical field. I went to him to seek help for a meniscus repair and it was nothing short of a complete nightmare. He was rude, pomous, erogant and belitting; not to mention he has the bedside manner of a cashew. He also shared with me afterwards that he saw a tumor in my knee that he could have removed but didn't bother to take it out and reccomended I come back to him for a new surgery to get it taken out later down the road. I've had nothing but problems since he operated on me. please save yourself and find another surgeon. I've been reccomenred by my other physicians to not return to him for further treatment.

He has done multiple surgeries on me and my family and has been fantastic. People may not like that he is a typical of a hyper person but her tells it to you straight and doesn't sugar coat or baby anything.

Very disappointed in the care my husband just received from Dr. Edwards. My husband injured his knee over the weekend and was seen today for it, well at least that’s what it was SUPPOSED to be about. Instead, the doctor spent a majority of the appointment hounding my husband about having bariatric surgery (something my husband has discussed in grave detail with his endocrinologist, aka the doctor he visits for his weight and diabetes). The doctor also spent time dictating instead of having the actual conversation (in his dictations he said “we discussed”... no it wasn’t discussed he dictated in his notes and that was it...). Will never recommend Dr. Edwards, he was extremely unprofessional and claims he would “go to doctor hell” if he didn’t tell (hound) about bariatric surgery. He should probably go to doctor hell for not actually discussing the reason my husband was in the office as the only reason we know the next steps in the care for his knee (THE REASON WE WERE THERE) is thru the

I felt like my dad was treated like cattle in and out. Talks to his computer and doesn't explain things. Never had a doctor act like this. It took dad 2months before they set his wrist after effects his wrist looks deformed but now a couple of fingers are numb he says now it's corprul tunnel. Would not recommend this dr at all somethings off about him.

Received a second degree burn from the tool he used in surgery and ended up with a good size hole from the inside out of my knee. This resulted in a staff infection from my knee surgery and neglected to take care of it in a timely manner. My knee ended up leaking joint fluid numerous times and still never did a wound culture. Needlees to say I changed doctors and had two have two more emergency surgerys to fix what was neglected by Dr.Edwards.
