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.

I was amazed and grateful to have Dr. Edwards treat my son this morning. My son has a few diagnoses that are considered rare and we are often faced with puzzled looks when we have to go to the E.R. We've had so many experiences with doctors who are not familiar with them and was shocked and relieved to know Dr. Edwards familiarity with the diseases. His knowledge is grately appreciated. He was able to fully treat my son and did so with sich great bedside manner. Thank you Dr. Edwards.

Dr. Edwards took his time with me and my wife, thoroughly and thoughtfully answering all of our questions about her condition. Couldn't have been more pleased with the care he provided.

He was interested in my problems and was friendly and personable .... made me feel relaxed. He kept checking in on me to make sure I was doing ok. Would recommend Dr. Edwards and IRMC emergency to anyone (actually I have for sometime).
