Dr. Edwards has an excellent personality of meaningfully communicating with his patients. He is thorough in his specialty of neurology and, surprisingly, he also appeared to be well versed in other medical specialties. Dr. Edwards takes the time to fully listen to the patient's medical history and their current conditions and discusses the specific/objective protocols of the treatment avenues. He never seemed to be in a rush! Indeed, it was a great pleasure to visit Dr. Edwards. A time well spent.
