Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I worked with Dr. Edelson for several years.
He is probably the best of the GI physicians I have ever known and worked with.

He saved my life, literally. Diagnosed my hemorrhage in my esophagus immediately and stopped the bleeding. He is truly my hero. I was in ICU for four days. His experience and knowledge saved my life.

He has been my GI Dr. for 4 years. He is always friendly and compassionate Dr. Edelson always explains everything to me AND is very thorough. Because of this he was able to diagnose a liver disease I have at a very early stage. He always asks after my husband who works at the hospital also. I trust Dr. Edelson completely and know I am in good hands!

I called ready for my next 3yr appt. Was told please wait for our letter, which I got, few days later. I called to make an appointment, and was told that I was not wanted as a patient, because I had to many no shows, and cancellations. All of which, I have no knowledge off. And this I got from the lady who answers the phone,when nobody's there...her tone, was, rude, unprofessional, and sarcastic. Im glad my doctor referred me some where else. I don't need to be treated like a third rate citizen.

Very helpful doctor. I recently had an appointment with him and he has helped with every need. I've gone to other doctors in the past and was never satisfied until I came to his office. I highly recommend Dr. Edelson.

If you have a problem that requires any thought or extra effort do NOT see Dr Edelson. If you need a doctor who will find the cause of your problem and offer alternative solutions, this is not the doctor to see.
