I feel as if Dr . Edwards listened and didn't rush through explaining his thoughts and plans for my situation. I genuinely felt heard and understood with my concerns. He took what I was saying serious and he explained everything very well and answered every question I had . 100% the best doctor and I would recommend him to anyone who needs to see a cardiologist! :))

I thought this experience was very, very good. The doctor listened, the nurses listened, and something I was going to say, I don't know what it was. And yes, I'm likely to tell everybody about this doctor and his team. And he listened very well, and I understood everything he told me. Can you play this back to me?
