“I booked a doctor on zocdoc because I could get in more quickly than I could with my home group. Dr. Edelman was kind and answered my questions clearly. I was able to ask my immediate questions and will ultimately follow up with my own doctor. ”

June 13, 2023Melissa S.Verified patient
It was extremely uncomfortable, the dr didn’t seem to be listening to what I was trying to explain, he was unprofessional slurring words. The office was unclean and unkept. I will not be coming back here.

When I walked into my appointment as a new patient, I signed in and sat down. I was not greeted by the staff and had to eventually go to them to ask if I needed to fill out new patient paperwork.
I did not feel comfortable with the Doctor. He had trouble walking and was slurring his words and it was quite difficult to understand him.
When he was checking if I had feeling throughout, he reached into an uncovered jar and riffled around for a safety pin which go proceeded to use to poke me. I did not see him wash his hands nor were gloves used. The safety pin he used to poke me was not at all a sterile item, which is quite concerning. I would not recommend seeing this Doctor.

Office tucked away in large parking lot. Glad they enlarged the address. It reduced the stress of finding the place. I was called in right on time. The doctor is thorough and didn't order any meds until he checks everything. I'm glad he's not a pill pusher. Medicate and move on is how some do. Dr E is giving more tests and trying techniques to better my mind.

Dr. Edelman listened to my concerns and addressed them all and I never felt rushed. I have Multiple Sclerosis and Dr.Edelman is very knowledgeable and discusses various options.
