Dr. Charles Edwards, MD

Walk into his office for my initial visit. He told me “ I will have you walking straight”. He operated and I continued with pain. Was unable to walk without the use of a walker. He told me that I would be better in time. Started experiencing severe pain. Called frequently about the pain. Staff kept changing pain meds. Nothing helped . Finally saw Dr Edward’s again. X-rays showed that both rods that he placed in my back had broken! He operated again to replace the rods . This left me with severe nerve damage in my right leg. I must still use a walker and still walk with the initial bent position. I’m worse off now than when I was initially!! So sorry that I ever met Dr Edward’s !

Dr Charles Edwards is an outstanding doctor. Dr. Edwards has operated on me twice over the past 16 years and both times I was blown away by his ability to make me confident in the success of the outcome and at the same time come across with humility and kindness. I had a lumbar decompressions and fusion. Only overnight in hospital and then 4 months later I'm completely healed and walking 2 miles a day pain free. If I could I'd give him 10 stars.

He left me crippled after surgery

Dr Edwards did a l4 l5 fusion on my lower back 11 months ago and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Told me exactly what was the problem, how he was going to fix it. Got out of the hospital the next day and started my rehab ( which was only walking for the first couple of weeks). No physical therapy,no follow up visits after the first 30 day one. Just had to listen to my body and ease into everyday life and exercise. By the 3 month mark, I was working out at the Y, riding my Harley, walking my dog 4 miles a day. By 6 months, I was playing golf with no pain, hiking, mowing the grass and doing everything else with no sciatic nerve pain, no back pain at all! I have read all the horror stories from bad outcomes for spinal surgery, but Dr Edwards is the MAN! Told me I'd be doing great and he was absolutely right! For anyone who is considering back surgery, I highly recommend Dr Edwards!! By the way I am 71 years old.

Dr. Edwards was interested in seeing me as a whole person, rather than seeing me as someone in pain. He is an excellent listener and truly considered everything I had to say before making any recommendation. His work as a surgeon was stellar. I could not have felt more confident going into the procedure or more well cared for coming out of it.

I went to Dr Edwards with severe pain, numbness, tingling feeling in my neck and left shoulder and hand and debilitating migraines all due to two bulging discs in my neck. His demeanor puts you at ease right away. He was very clear as to what needed to be done and very reassuring that my issues would be resolved by having surgery. But what impressed me the most is that he's humble and wanted the best outcome for me. He prayed for my health and wellness! I had seen three other surgeons over a five year period and I did not feel confident that the surgery would be successful. When I woke up in recovery I had absolutely NO pain, numbness tingling and NO headache. My recovery has been phenomenal. I'm very grateful for Dr Edwards II.

The level of care I received was amazing

Dr. Edwards performed double level fusion and within 3 months I was back doing all of my activities pain free. This includes vigorous hiking, biking, golfing, and gym activities. Very attentive and caring to my concerns and needs. I selected Dr. Edwards after consulting with 6 spine surgeons. After my consult with Dr. Edwards my mind was made up. I made the right choice.

Dr. Charles Edwards 11 did surgery on my right side of my back L3-5 Infusion Decompression i was having cramps in my right leg and back pain it was so bad i could not stand or sleep now i am pain free Dr Edwards 11 explain everything to my son's and answered our questions and befor i was taking back for surgery he asked was it ok to pray. And the day he released me he explained everything. I can do and if i need him come back. And prayed for me and i hugged him. Dr.Edwards 11 thanks for everything you've done for me. and your team at Mercy Spine Center. May God continue to bless you.

Dr. Edwards II did lumbar decompression surgery and the pain disappeared almost immediately. Now two weeks later I am pain free other than minor pain from the incision.

When no one else could seem to figure out the answer to my back issues he did. He performed simple back surgery and after years of pain I am so much better today because of him. He prayed with and for me before surgery, he is amazing, kind and humble.

Dr. Charles Edwards II is the most gentle , soft spoken spiritual, knowledgeable doctor I have. May God continue to bless him and his Gift. Thank You Dr. Charles Edwards II

My wife was suffering from spinal stenosis for years. She kept putting off surgery. When we met Dr Edward's, we knew he was the guy we wanted. Dr Edward's fused the L4 and L5 and now, 2 weeks later, she is virtually pain free. No stitches or staples used. Just glue. He not only prays with you before the operation, he sends flowers a day later.

Dr. Edwards II was recommended by a friend who had back surgery. My friend was so pleased with the results of the surgery. After 20 years of putting off lower back surgery, my husband was in so much pain and discomfort that he went to a consult with Dr. Edwards. After surgery, my husband recovered with little pain or side effects. He is more the overjoyed with his 'new' back and wishes he had know of Dr. Edwards years ago. Amazing results. Compassionate, skilled, and exceptional!

Dr. Edwards is extremely knowledgeable and honestly cares about his patients. I brought in my MRI and he pretty much pin pointed my condition but requested I do another MRI being that mine was close to a-year-old. After my second MRI I went back in for my follow up he told me exactly what I needed done and we scheduled for the following Monday. Best decision I ever made after suffering seven years with excruciating back pain I am 100% sciatica and pain free.

Dr Edwards II has performed two successful back surgeries on me, a microdisectomy and a fusion eight years later. He is caring, compassionate, and I trust him without hesitation. As a new patient you have to wait several weeks for an appointment, but he’s worth waiting for.

Amazing dr. Took his time to explain everything and answer my questions. He genuinely cares about his patients. On the day of my surgery I was very scared, he talked to me about everything he was doing and offered to pray with me and my family. That truly meant a lot to me. Great dr. I would defiantly. Recommend him to anyone. He is a great dr. And person????

Dr. Edwards took care of my mother and was very caring and helpful dealing with her back problems. I started having lower back pain, had an MRI done and my primary care doctor told me it was arthritis just take ultram! I decided to see Dr. Edwards because of his outstanding care given to my mom, he reviewed my MRI and saw a compressed disc and arthritis. He did surgery fused L4-5 and I have had tremendous relief since then. I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing back pain. He is a great

An incredible surgeon. I consulted with docs all over the US ( NYC, LA, TX and AL) and settled on Dr Edwards. He is compassionate, candid and beyond gifted. Highly highly recommend.

After suffering spinal stenosis for over a year and trying all the nonsurgical procedures, Dr. Charles Edwards and his team at Mercy Spinal center corrected my problem. Now I'm on a road to a pain free recovery. Thanks, Dr. Edwards! Stephen L. Lauer
