Not accepting new patients in this area.
Professional interests:
- Diabetes
- Geriatrics
- Women's Health
- Pediatrics
- Preventive Medicine
- Virtual visits
I am a family medicine physician with professional interests in diabetes, geriatrics, pediatrics, preventive care, osteopathic manipulative medicine and women's health. I offer face-to-face virtual visits for a variety of health services and conditions.
I am passionate about: forming strong, long-term relationships with my patients and their families and learning about each patient's unique background. I love educating patients on their disease process to motivate change. Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughter and family, traveling, running and exercising.
I knew I wanted to become a doctor after: idolizing my pediatrician as early as I can remember. I knew I wanted to find a career in which I would end each day knowing that I helped someone in some way. I knew family medicine was the best fit for me because I love the breadth of knowledge it requires and each day always presents a new challenge.
Something I have learned from my patients is: that each patient is unique and has different goals and motivations in mind. Letting my patients be my guide in tailoring a treatment plan specific to these goals and motivations is essential to my practice.
One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is: the commitment to life-long learning and working with each patient's specific goals and barriers to provide comprehensive care.
My personal health goal is to: maintain work-life balance, stay active, eat well and surround myself with positive people who drive me to be a better person.

Dr. Edwards attention to detail and clarity of what I need to stay healthy. Very caring.
Dr Edwards is amazing
Excellent listener
Dr Edwards continues to provide a concern for me as she evaluates my health plan. She is willing to listen to my input and keep me informed about any changes that are needed to make sure our plan stays on track.
Gets right to the point and and good at managing
Dr Edwards listens to what I have to say and answers my questions very thoroughly and gives me information to improve my problems. After a physical with her I feel good leaving there that she really cares and wants to help.
It was easy, no rush, plenty of time to think thru answers to questions to formulate further questions to have the Dr and myself on the same page and being understood and understanding her.
