Dr. Edwards removed blockage and completed resection. He visited everyday while I was in hospital prior to and after surgery. He kept me well informed and provided me with details of the plan. I would definitely recommend Dr. Edwards.

Dr. Edward's went above and beyond in his care for me with a ruptured appendix. I had just moved to the area and was so grateful for his expertise and time he took to answer my questions. I highly recommend him!!!

For the first time in 55 years my mother was admitted to ER and Dr. Edwards became her surgeon. We were totally impressed and pleased with the care she was given by Dr. Edwards. From his hospital visits to our office visit today, his staff and Dr. Edwards were way beyond our expectations. Thank you Dr. Edwards for your caring way, your attentiveness and overall medical care for my Mom. Totally recommend Dr. Edwards .

Dr Edwards is such a kind, compassionate and caring man. He has performed several surgeries on me. We have been down some narrow pathways and Dr Edwards has always been right beside me.

My son recently underwent a surgery with Dr Edwards. He has wonderful bedside manner and we could not have been happier. There were no complications and if I had any questions, Dr. Edwards was very patient in answering them. We would definitely recommend Dr. Edwards for surgery needs.

This Dr was great + his whole staff. I hope I don’t need another surgery but if I do I will give him the opportunity to do so.

I was referred to Dr. Edwards by my PCP for a small surgical procedure. Dr. Edwards and his staff were great throughout the entire process. Including scheduling process and billing, for which they did great job explaining options. Surgical procedure went exactly as expected, and Dr. Edwards took extra consideration to my hair (one of the procedures being done was on my scalp). I showed up for my post surgery apt to remove stitches at 2PM and was out the door at 2:20. Would not hesitate to recommend.
