Dr. Edlund was the 5th doctor I saw for my problem. He was the only one that gave me a diagnosis that made sense and the first one to say he could help me.He is a very compassionate dr. who took the time to listen to me. I would highly recommend him.

Doctor Edlund diagnosed my father in 1982 for colon cancer. When Dad got so weak that he could not come in to Dr. Edlund's office, he came out to his house so see him. Dr. Edlund will always hold a special place in my familys heart because of this. He advised my 2 siblings and me to have regular screenings and so we do. I have had 3 colonoscopies in my lifetime. I had 2 polyps my first one and "clean" every other time since. Dr. Edlund is a wonderful, caring doctor and his staff is the best!

When no one else could diagnose me. He did! ( Crohns disease ) I have seen a lot of Dr's. over time but this one wins hands down. I have been his patient for about 22 yrs. He has a fantastic personality and is highly intelligent. He truly cares about his patients. Also makes sure you know what is going on with test or upcoming surgery.If you need a surgeon and one of the best. Well you found him.
