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 had Dr. Edward's with 2 previous pregnancies and now my 3rd. He is very straight forward which is exactly what I wanted. He is smart and knows his stuff. He will tell you every single thing you need to know. He really is a funny guy and very sweet...I wouldn't recommend any other doctor. Thank you Dr. Edward's you are an amazing Doctor

Dr. Edwards saved my life on Monday, July 23rd. No other doctor near by had ever heard of HELLP syndrome, nor did they know how to treat it. Dr. Edwards is a straightforward doctor, which is what you want, especially when you find out your body is killing itself and your baby. Dr. Edwards was able to not only save my life but my son's life as well. More doctors and their nursing staff need to be educated on HELLP syndrome.

Due to going into preterm labor with all of my pregnancies I was sent to Dr. Edwards, I was seen twice and felt like he had no real knowledge of my existing medical issues that was going on with this pregnancy. I don’t believe he ever looked at my chart or records sent from my doctor. My cervix was measuring 1.3 cm and doctor Edwards said it was measuring 3 cm. Measured two different times and he said the same thing. I don’t believed he looked at my chart because he wouldn’t known.

Dr Edwards is a very knowledgeable and smart doctor. However, he is very blunt, and does not sugar coat anything. That is just his personality. I would highly recommend him, and he is the only MFM in the area.

I had a very good appointment with Dr. Edwards after it was discovered my baby might have trouble growing in the womb. The ultrasound tech was friendly. Dr. Edwards himself is serious, but I imagine he has to deliver bad news pretty often. I believe he is very experienced and knowledgeable and gave me whatever information I asked for and offered his non-sugar-coated opinion. I appreciate this quite a bit.

Dr. Edwards has a terrible bed-side manner. He is greatly uneducated in the current realities of what life with spina bifida really looks like. His scare tactics even after I was past the point of being able to terminate my pregnancy were beyond the pale. I would use his office for their high quality ultrasound equipment and very kind ultrasound techs again, but I would literally allow everything Edwards has to say to go in one ear and out the other.
