Dr Edwards is the best orthopedic doctor in 






Dr. Edwards is the best orthopedic doctor in South Carolina. I won't see anyone else. I have seen him for years. he has remove arthritis from my spine twice in different places and once in my neck. He talks to you like you are a person and explains what he sees and what can be done. He always leaves the decision up to you. He talks plain talk and not a bunch of medical garbage that you understand. I plan to go back to see him again about my back pain before long. You can't see a better doctor.
