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.

Cataract surgery
Had my first eye done today. Entire surgical staff was excellent. Dr Edwards spent time pre and post op explaining the procedure. He also made me completely at ease in the OR. Would recommend him without any reservations whatsoever

Dr. Edwards and the entire staff at Consulting Ophthalmologists are wonderful. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Dr. Edwards answers all of my questions. The wait time was not long at all which is always a plus. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Dr. Edwards and this practice. I have recommended Dr. Edwards to friends and family who are looking for an eye doctor.

Dr. Edwards performed Cataract surgery on my eye last week. At 31, the diagnosis came as a surprise. I was anxious leading up the surgery but Dr. Edwards and the team at Consulting Ophthalmologists answered all my questions and put me at ease. The surgery was quick and painless and my vision has greatly improved due to the procedure.

I have been going to Dr. Edwards for a few years now - and I can say unequivocally that he is a terrific practitioner! He takes the time to listen - explains procedures- is warm and friendly and really seems to care about his patients. He has a sense of humor - and has even laughed at my jokes (corny as they may be.) Would I recommend him - without hesitation- his staff is caring as well - and combined it makes a "doctor's visit" a pleasant experience!

Dr. Edwards has been my ophthalmologist as well as my wife's for many years. He is very caring and proficient professional. He did my cataract surgery some time ago and I had excellent results. The procedure was absolutely painless and my vision remains 20/20. He continues to be my physician and I place my utmost confidence in his medical decisions and explanations.

Dr. Edwards performed laser cataract removal surgery for me. I was a little anxious before the surgery but it turned out to be such a good experience. I had no pain or any discomfort afterwards. I almost wondered if I had surgery if not for the fact that I could see so much clearer the next day. Dr. Edwards explains things in a way that laymen can understand. His calm demeanor is contagious and put people at ease. The nurses and technicians at his office are all very courteous and professional

Based on the length of time the person would have to wait to get in to see Dr. Edwards, 2+ months, I cannot recommend him.
