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.

Exceptional surgeon and support team!

No bedside manner
Apts. are always rushed, doctor doesn't listen. He is extremely rude and condescending. Some of the staff are nice, but most are rude as well.

I am glad others had the positive experience - however Dr. Edwards performed what was supposed to be a routine anti-reflux procedure in 2011 and I am still dealing with complications from his multiple mistakes 5 years later. I have required 10 additional procedures at teaching hospitals trying to correct it that I could eat again. I understand mistakes can happen, however what bothered me most- he accepted no responsibility for it and tried to say there was nothing wrong.

I absolutely love Dr Edwards. He took away my heartburn I've been having for years in a day. I can't believe I haven't gone to see him before. He spent the time to discuss my problems before and after surgery. If you have reflux go see Dr Edwards.
