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.

The Best
We are very grateful to Dr. Edwards for his amazing surgical skills and caring nature. Dr. Edwards helped our teenage son feel comfortable and cared for in a difficult time with ACL reconstruction surgery.Even before surgery, Dr. Edwards guided our son in meeting his team and starting physical therapy the first day we met. He gave us clear expectations and an understanding of ACL recovery for an athlete who desires to get back to playing the game they love. After surgery we were given important surgery details and, unlike any other surgeon we've heard of, he provided a narrated video of the surgery. In the surgical video he was speaking directly to the patient which goes a long way in helping a vulnerable patient's dignity and feeling empowered in their own health care needs.With Dr. Edwards retiring soon, we hope and pray his legacy of elite care and patient centered approach are continued through his colleagues. He sets a high standard and example for others.

Second opinion
I went to Dr Edwards for a second opinion. I am very happy that he didn’t just want to do surgery and do we have a whole plan to avoid that. He made sure to study my medical records prior to coming to talk to me.

Great surgeon and person
As a first timer for an ACL tear, Dr. Edwards made my process very easy. He answered any and all questions I had and gave me confidence. He is a great character and is a fun person to be around. My surgery went great and am glad I chose him. 100% recommend.

I have many doctors in my family (some famous) so I'm picky who I go to. If you have Orthopedic issues and want the best, look no further than Dr. Edwards. It says a lot that top Athletes seek him out. His "bedside manner" listening skills and connection to patients is beyond reproach. I've even taken my kids with orthopedic issues to him which will tell you the confidence I have in him.

My experiences with Dr Edwards and his staff over the past 18+ years have been excellent. He is a master in his field and his staff appear to enjoy working with him. On recent visits I’ve been very impressed with patient time management and short waits in the lobby and exam rooms.

I honestly cannot imagine a more competent, professional, caring surgeon. He understands the needs of young, elite athletes, both physically and mentally. Dr. Edwards and his staff - office, OR and PT - show such understanding, care and offer targeted treatment plans so that their patients can optimize the physical outcome of sustained injuries and return to the sport they love at the level they strive for. Amazing!

Dr. Edwards has been my saving grace over the past year. He treats me as if I am his own daughter, always takes the time to talk everything through with me and sees that I am even doing well in my college courses. We bicker like family, but I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. His staff, especially Sara, Kate and Kalli, are amazing and will do just about anything in their power to ensure you are comfortable during all treatments, appointments and stays.
