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.

Excellent, caring physician
Dr Edelman explains what is going on and answers questions without rushing the visit. Her office staff is helpful from the office staff to the nursing staff. Yes it was difficult to get the initial appointment but I left me number incase they had a cancellation and they did so I was seen quickly. I would have no issue recommending Dr Edelman to anyone.

If I could give her negative stars I would. I went to her when I was 17 for answers regarding chronic joint pain. I came up positive for Sjögren’s syndrome. She said I couldn’t possibly have it as the symptoms I was seeing her for had to just do with my joints. If she had talked to me and listened she would have known I have dental issues and eye pain as well as a bunch of issues people with Sjögren’s have as well. I went somewhere else and got help. My health declined as it took forever to get treatment and have been left with mobility issues that cannot be fixed. It’s still been a rocky road as my condition progressed and issues came up left and right. However after 10 years almost I’m finally on the road to being able to live my life.

I have been seeing Dr. Edelman for several years and I couldn't imagine what my life would be like without her! She is the most compassionate and understanding specialist I have ever seen. Yes, my very first appointment back in the day took months to get but it was worth the wait! Follow up appointments are made at the end of your visit so there are never any issues getting seen. She truly listens to her patients and takes her time during every examination. Her staff is incredible too! The follow up to messages left or to give results from routine tests after completion is a wonderful perk! I would highly recommend Dr. Edelman to anyone and when I meet someone who I know could benefit from her expertise, I absolutely send them her information! Make no mistake - Dr. Edelman CARES about her patients. I am so thankful to Dr. Edelman and her staff for the care and guidance always given to me! If you want the best, look no further! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my care!

I have been seeing Dr. Edelman since 2012 for the combination of RA and fibromyalgia. She takes her time to hear all your issues and concerns and then discusses the current treatment and the path forward. So if she is running late, I can understand why. I would rather have that than just being pushed through. I also like going to the office and talking to Ashley and Kathy, they are professional, friendly and quick to help.

I've been a patient of Dr Edelman for about 15 years. She's a caring clinician who has found problems other doctors have missed. She's patient and thorough. She's personable and easy to talk to. She's excellent at her job. Highly recommend her.

called for an appointment and had to leave a message. No one called back. Called again and was told they could give me an appointment in May (this is November). I'm already diagnosed with a disease and they want me to wait 6 months. Terrible. Look elsewhere for a good doctor who cares.

I was a first time patient and I was in a lot of pain. I was very unhappy about the way I was treated. She has no warmth, no caring, no bed side manner and dimmisive. I waited 3 months to get appt. and got no help from her. My eye doctor and primary doctor cared more about my health than she did. I was sent for blood work and told everything is fine. I am not fine. I am in pain. then told to come back in 3 months. for what. she didn't help me this time. I would not recommend her. disappointed

I liked Dr. Edelman, didn' t jump on the prescription band right away, wanted to monitor me for a couple of months, but after my blood work came back she stated I had to take care of that problem and then return to her for the treatment of my original visit. I like her

Don't expect any warmth from her. She is dismissive and there are plenty of other doctors who are just as educated but actually try and care.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Edelman is kind, attentive, empathetic, and takes the necessary time with you to get the whole story. She listens. She is gentle knowing you're already in pain and validates that fact. I had the best experience with her, and trust that she'll get to the bottom of my pain issues.

Dr Edelman does not return phone calls! Not even to other to Dr's! Our neurologist has had two calls out to her, and for over a week now. There is issue involving dosage of medication that she needs to weigh in on and she has not even answered him back. This is outrageously unprofessional. I would not recommend her. Especially if you are looking for a concerned Dr with a good bed side manner.
