Reviews
Dr.Edwards is a wonderful, caring, extremely knowledgeable and understanding doctor. I was so lucky to be referred to her and the Torbay area is fortunate to have access to her care.
I have been a patient of Dr Edwards for a number of years. Within that time I have always felt her judgement and decisions regarding treatment have been purely for my benefit. A first class doctor.
Thank you

Listening and understanding the meanings behind the words of any patient is a huge attribute, as we are not necessarily eloquent in how we phrase and explain our problems.
Dr Edwards had the ability to 'translate' my conversation accurately and observe underlying problems as well. It felt like a great starting point. Because of this, it was possible to summarise my problems and treatment to date and also look for new effective measures.
A very positive experience and I consider myself lucky to have had this consultation.
Explained all my options and helped over come my anxiety about having poor veins for a cannula.
Despite having to insert into my ankle, I didn't feel a thing and she reassured me and explained the procedure throught out. Didn't feel any discomfort and was fully updated and in my dozy state I was kept up to date and fully informed...
Had no problems with the colonoscopy - just wished they provided a DVD!! A great watch on the TV!!
A first class consultant I would recommend without hesitation. I had been concerned about undergoing an endoscopy but it was carried out without any stess or pain. I woke up and it was all over.
