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.

From my first appointment with Dr. E, he spent 2 hours with me understanding my background and frustrations. And he helped me when no one else seemed able. I feel I can ask him about anything and he is up on all the latest studies and has great answers for me. The only way I would change doctors is if I had to move far away.

I have stuggled my entire life since I was 12 with my weight. I can say finally I feel in control. To be able to wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night without having to promise that "today is the day" that I will take control of my life is just the most wonderful feeling. I finally no longer hear that voice that says how heavy I am and how unattractive I am. With the help of Dr, Edelson I can finally feel confident at the old age of 61.

Dr. Edelson was recommended to me by a dear friend after she saw and experienced the struggles I was having. I was struggling with weight gain, hormonal imbalances and then developed an autoimmune disorder. I was frankly, a mess. Dr. Edelson started me on a path of health and happiness. All things start with us, but we need a Dr. who listens and cares. I am so happy to have met Dr. E. I am now on the right path and we are on this journey TOGETHER.
