Dr Eddings is personable and educates you in plain English about what is or is not the problem in a way I could understand. In depth he told me what could be done to help my issue. Dr Eddings and his nurse Haley were wonderful! I’d refer anyone to Dr Eddings with any orthopedic issues.

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.
