“Taking multiple kids to the doctor at once is stressful enough, and today I walked in running late, frazzled, and dealing with an unexpected insurance issue. From the moment we arrived, Irish greeted us with so much patience and warmth, and Dr. Tennisha Edwards completely blew me away with her compassion. Not once did she make me feel rushed, judged, or inadequate. Instead, she stepped up out of the goodness of her heart to make sure my kids were still cared for. She was patient, honest, and remarkably thorough with every single question. Dr. Edwards and Irish turned what could have been a total meltdown of a morning into a reminder that truly good people still exist in healthcare.”

“If I could give Dr. Tennisha Edwards and Irish 10 stars, I would! Managing appointments for four kids at once is no small feat. Dr. Edwards went above and beyond to take care of my family showing she genuine care for my kids over paperwork. She is warm, honest, and super thorough. Walking out of that office gave me so much hope for the future of medicine. We are forever grateful!”

About Dr. Tennisha Edwards

Dr. Tennisha Edwards, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC, is a doctorally prepared, board-certified pediatric nurse practitioner with more than 16 years of clinical experience caring for children from birth through young adulthood. She earned her Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Emory University and completed her graduate training as a pediatric nurse practitioner at the University of Rochester. Throughout her career, Dr. Edwards has been recognized for her thorough, compassionate, and family-centered approach to care. She takes time to listen, answer questions, and ensure that both children and their caregivers feel seen, informed, and supported. Dr. Edwards founded TelaPediatrics to make trusted pediatric care more accessible to modern families without sacrificing the personal connection that defines an exceptional healthcare experience. Through secure virtual visits, she provides evidence-based care for newborn concerns, common childhood illnesses, chronic-condition follow-up, adolescent health needs, developmental and behavioral concerns, medication management, referrals, and parental guidance. In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Edwards has served as a preceptor and mentor to future nurse practitioners for more than a decade. As both a pediatric provider and a mother of three, she understands the importance of having reliable guidance when questions arise—especially outside the walls of a traditional medical office. Her vision for TelaPediatrics is simple: to provide expert pediatric care that is personal, convenient, and virtually present at every stage of childhood.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Tennisha Edwards. I arrived this morning running late, feeling frazzled and unprepared, and we quickly realized my insurance wasn't even in-network. Instead of turning us away or making me feel inadequate, she as well as Irish, who helped me before our appointment, met us with pure kindness and grace. She went completely above and beyond to make sure my kids were still seen today, proving that she genuinely cares about children and families over bureaucracy. She was honest, incredibly thorough, and thoughtful throughout the entire exam. Leaving our appointment today genuinely restored my faith in people and gave me so much hope for what healthcare can and should be. If you want a doctor with a heart of gold who truly puts her patients first, go see Dr. Tennisha Edwards.

Dr. Tennisha Edwards is the gold standard of what a doctor should be. We hit a major snag with our insurance being out-of-network this morning, on top of me feeling unprepared and behind schedule. Most offices would have immediately sent us packing, but Dr. Edwards and Irish treated my family with genuine empathy and humanity. Dr. Edwards puts children's well-being above red tape, and her exam was one of the most thoughtful, honest, and thorough experiences we've ever had. She genuinely restored my faith in the medical system today. Your kids are in the best possible hands with her!

Dr Edwards listened carefully and fully addressed our situation. She did not go for the quickest/simplest fix but really thought about what we were telling her. My daughter is also kind of particular about Doctors because we have seen ones she didn’t like but she loved Dr. Edwards.
Excellent Dr. visit. We have been having trouble with getting someone to listen to concerns and she was empathetic and thorough.
