Had this man as my GP for a number of years. Was in a neurological dissociative state the entire time I was under his care. I am currently integrating my experiences during this time period of my life as well as the 1970s and 1980s and onward. No social or relational support for the daily ptsd flashbacks from medical harm. The entire society triangulates around the MDs. Victims of medical ptsd and exploitation are abused and shamed. While I still fight for my life everyday with little to no support. Western medicine is a criminally negligent cartel. More ptsd flashbacks tonight. No support from community other than “ move on”. If I could stop the ptsd flashbacks and trauma discharge from my nervous system maybe I would. Sick of taking responsibility for medical negligence and exploitation. Life threatening harm. No one cares. Stay away your life could depend on it. The healthcare system is being weaponized. Control the healthcare system control the people. Criminal negligence and… abuse.

I was a patient of Dr. Edmonds for 16 years. I feel very fortunate to have had him for my physician. He really does care, and spends whatever time is required to explain complex medical issues so that I can understand them easily. His demeanor is always professional, with a good sense of humor and wonderful bedside manner. He's also very knowledgeable and up to date with the latest information. His on-line patient portal also made it very easy to contact his staff with any questions about medications or upcoming procedures. And by the way, his staff are also quite nice and always helpful. Highly recommended!~
