I never felt rushed, like Dr. Edwards had someplace else to be. He listened carefully and fully answered my questions. All in all, a very good experience.

I appreciate the fact that Dr. Edwards does a great job at explaining things, and showing me my progress from a year ago. He’s a pretty decent doctor, compared to most.
