Was impressed by his prior-to-surgery short visit in preop room to reassure me & husband I would be taken good care of & would be fine. Also expressed his thanks for trusting & allowing him to be my surgeon. Great care received.

I felt dismissed. He didn’t look in past records when I told him I had an mri prescribed by another emerge provider.. seemed super uninterested. Spent maybe 5 min total . Would never go back or recommend him to anyone

It was a pleasure meeting Dr. Eddings. A very nice and professional assessment of my problems. Took the pressure off of me and my concerns. He made me feel at ease that I was in best of care, which I agree. So glad to have met him and to continue in his care. Thank you, Gordon Pettersen
