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.

Great doctor
Dr. Edney has given me thorough and competent care over the last two years. He is kind and really has a gentle chairside manner. His staff are accommodating and professional. I highly recommend this practice.

Having called ahead, we assured the office would be wearing face masks to be in compliance with state law on COVID. We did not expect what we found when we arrived. We were disappointed to find there people in the office without facemasks. It's not that they needed to pull down their face masks to try on glasses. They simply had no masks at all. The customer station were in close proximity to each other so obviously we would have been breathing the same air. Unfortunately, it was obviously not safe in the enclosed area and we felt we had to leave. Since we live nearby, so I immediately called and let them know we were thinking of rescheduling if they would be in compliance with NC COVID law. The staff member said they do not require customers to wear masks. This was disappointing as Dr Edney appeared to be a very nice doctor. Should patients have to feel unsafe in a doctor's office?
