Listened to my concerns and had a plan implemented.
Because she is a newer PCP for me since my doctor of over 15yrs recently retired, I am becoming increasingly more comfortable with her as my PCP. It takes some time to catch up and, therefore, to build a healthy doctor-patient relationship. The more we meet and chat, the more she gets to know me-the more confident I am in my healthcare. I look forward to continuing working with Dr. Edwards. She is professional, speaks to what she knows and doesn't pretend to have expertise outside her own yet gives me what I believe to be solid and honest feedback.
Dr Edwards took time going over various issues with me. She was friendly and professional.
Dr. Edwards was understanding of my preference for a weight-neutral approach to care. She listened to my concerns regarding my history of disordered eating/eating disorder with respect and compassion. I appreciated the sentiment she expressed - "if someone wants to work on weight loss I can help them do that in a healthy way and if someone doesn't want to focus on weight loss but wants to work on healthy behaviors without worrying about weight I can do that too." Dr. Edwards seemed to sincerely believe that behaviors can impact health (positively or negatively) regardless of a person's weight status, which I greatly appreciated. I have not had much luck finding weight-neutral providers in the past but I am hopeful I have finally found a doctor I can feel comfortable working with!
Dr. Edwards made my visit fast and very helpful.
I'm happy that I have Dr. Edwards as my primary care doctor!
This was my first visit as my current primary is leaving. Dr. Edwards and her team were delightful.
Very pleased
My appt. required lab work that went very fast as well. The reception staff in the doctor's office was professional and informative. Dr. Edwards is patient and polite.
I'm sure it's Aurora's policy but diagnosing obesity when someone comes for a physical and has no weight related issues is fatphobic. The bmi is antiquated and not empirical. I would encourage ditching the bmi scale and not recommending diet and exercise to someone has struggled with disordered eating (most women in the USA).
