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.

Dr. Edelen shows compassion for her patients. Very caring.

1st appointment for granddaughter
My granddaughter Audrie’s 1st appt with Dr Edelen was great. She’s very knowledgeable and had great rapport with Audrie. I know she really listened to Dr Edelen & the 1st thing she said after her appointment was “I like her!”. That means a lot to me & I think there will be some wonderful, healthy changes coming up for Audrie- thank you so much!

Dr. Edelen is probably one of the most compassionate and caring pediatric physicians that we have seen with 3 kids. She takes the time to listen, education, advise and coach as necessary, not as dictated by insurance companies or governmental insurances. Tri-Care, CHAMPVA, MediCare, MediCaid, Etcetera.
