Dr Edlund is the most humble, compassionate, kind and intelligent person i have ever met. He is a true hero, working tirelessly and with a joke, saving this world; one day at a time.

Dr Edlund is the only Dr in my 20 year journey thru the "Mental Health Industry" that has ever ghosted me! If at any point, the Dr no longer wishes to see you, instead of an actual call or letter, his entire staff ignores your calls and acts like you never existed!

I have been a patient of the doctors for maybe ten years now and have never before felt so well. The meds I take are a perfect balance for my diagnosis. Yes, I have had problems while seeing Dr. Edlund, but when they were psychological I visited a Psychologist. If they were psychiatric I engaged Dr. Edlund. I am 81 years old and would choose no other Psychiatrist.

I really appreciated the time he took to listen to me and how I have been feeling. After so many years of dealing with my issues myself I see a light at the end of the tunnel I know thru hard work and his help I can get there, looking forward to the future.

Dr.Edlund has written several books. He has been my doctor for years. He's very smart and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs his care. He listens, absorbs what you tell him and gives very good advice. Not only is he a psychiatrist but he's also a MD.
