Dr. Edwards is a true professional. She is non judgmental and cares about her patients. She is popular, and because of that, can have too many appointments in the time she has and run late as a result.

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/15/2024
Dr. Edwards has been excellent as my primary care physician for more than 10 years. The only criticism I have is that she must see many many patients in one day and this limits how much time she can spend with one patient. This last visit, she did spend more time with me to help me develop a plan for my medications as my psychiatrist announced that he is giving up his practice.
