I came from a dermatologist who really treated me poorly when they diagnosed and treated me for melanoma. The nursing staff and Dr Edens were so kind and they treated me so much better and they made me feel really great. Doctor patient communication is very important and often looked over and I'm very glad that your staff doesn't feel that way.

Very efficient in the check-in process. Dr and his assistant were very knowledgeable and gave me a much more complete exam than I have ever had before.

I appreciated the questions and diversity of response options in the patient portal profile. I was seen very quickly after checking in. Dr. Edens explained things thoroughly as we discussed my concerns and throughout the treatment. While I had other concerns to discuss following my more pressing issue, I appreciated the respect for time and encouragement to explore those issues during my follow up to allow for more time and attention.

I like that I finally am seeing a doctor who wanted to test my skin and help me get to the root of my rashes. They are starting me on a healing journey that I've been trying to start for years. I'm finally feeling hopeful that I'll ko longer be in pain or have these embarrassing, itchy rashes. Mercedes is the best, 10 stars!

I left a message on the answering machine of my possibility going a few minutes late to the appointment.
I appreciate it very much that the doctor himself returned my call and said not to worry as his office was flexible. And to be careful on the way to his office.
I particularly liked how Dr. Christopher Edens took his time in explaining with detail each of the questions that I had.
Very attentive to my concerns.
Thank you, Dr. Edens for your time!
