Dr. Edwards is not a money doctor. He is the real deal in the twenty- first century . He is available, reliable and experienced. As a dialysis patient, I switched to Dr. Edwards because I needed a physician that wouldn't just let me do what I wanted to do but who would hold me accountable. Dr. Edwards is that guy. He can be rough around the edges, but he is a really funny guy with years of knowledge and expertise. You can't go wrong!

Dr. Edwards has been my doctor for 14 years. I trust him more than others with my medical care. He is very compassionate. He listens to my concerns. He makes sure I understand my diagnoses, the medication he prescribes, any procedures I need to have. It would be wonderful if he could treat me for all of my issues. I would definitely recommend Doctor Edwards to someone as he is a great doctor!

Outstanding care from an intelligent and caring doctor who goes the extra mile to treat his patients. I have never encountered a doctor with his skill set. Truly exceptional.

My father spent 4 weeks in the hospital and we met over 20 something doctors. After a crash course in what is wrong with our medical system today, Dr. Edwards stood out as what is right. He asked about his medical background and followed up with previous doctors, he took the time to explain what was wrong to each and every family member, he was thorough, dedicated and beyond intelligent. He has a dry bedside manner, but overall I always sensed that he really cared about my father as a person and not just another of his too many hospital assigned patients. Of all the doctors we met during the hospital stay, he is the only one my family would give 5 stars to. I must also mention that he fixed every health issue he was responsible for.
