There’s no other place I would like to be in for 4 hours! Y’all are all thoughtful people who take great care of everyone you serve. There’s a calming presence that only comes from Gods hands through yours.

I like Dr. Eddie but for myself and others to go through the process of seeing him taking a minimum of three hours it feels as if he rushes the visit. He makes it a point to never come in and sit, talks as he’s moving and leaves no room for any questions. I’ve had to get information on procedures through the internet and from others that have gone through the same experience.
