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 was shocked to find out she was a woman. Made me nervous at first. She came in with a huge smile and a very professional demeanor. All the nervousness left immediately she was very personable. Her ability as a surgeon shows the next morning I expected worse was very surprised. I had a bad hernia with a displaced bladder which I'm sure took some poking and prodding. I'm sure not a easy fix but, again sore but not what I expected. Id recommend her to do anything for friends or family. I'm very impressed!

She was supposed to simply insert a feeding tube, but my 80 year old mom ended up with a 7 inch incision and her belly button missing. She seemed so nice, but after surgery, she was not friendly.

Wonderful surgeon
Dr. Edwards operated on my wife in 2017 for a hiatal hernia. She took the time to state in detail exactly what she was going to do and answered all questions at length. Very caring and fantastic bedside manner. The surgery went off without a hitch and has been successful to present day. I would have no qualms in recommending Dr. Edwards. Best surgeon that I have ever had the pleasure to meet.

My brother had to have emergency surgery. Dr. Edwards was the doctor on call. She arrived, met with us, assessed the situation and developed a game plan. She involved the patient with the process and decision making and was very informative and helpful. Dr. Edwards is as we say, squared away: a no nonsense, let's get it done approach, but very much aware of and sensitive to the family. I hope and pray if I ever need it in Knoxville TN, Dr. Edwards is the one on call. She is the best!

My procedure was minor, but I wasn't treated that way. I highly recommend Dr. Edwards and her staff. Dr. Edwards is very caring and very sociable. Her staff reflected this also.

She did surgery on my hernias. She was very intelligent and did a great job. I would see her again for surgery, if needed. I suggest you get ready for her twisted sense of humor. Right before surgery, she joked about having the shakes from drinking the night before. Otherwise, she is very nice.
