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.

Dr. Russell Edwards has many qualities that make him an excellent doctor. Obviously, his professional training. experience and years of practice and expertise in his field are beyond outstanding! In addition to the importance of these qualities, Dr. Edwards has the superior ability to "really" communicate with a patient. He is an excellent listener (and, that is an art in itself) and explains to his patient in a clear, direct way. He is eager to answer questions and explore options.
