“Dr. Edkin impressed me during my office visit with him in July. He came across as highly competent, which I found reassuring because my upcoming hip revision has me scared stiff. Dr. Edkin did not appear rushed and gave his complete attention and focus to my situation during the office visit. He reviewed my test results with me, and he explained the need for one final test, what the results of that test would tell him, and how the test results would impact the way he performed the surgery and when. He completed a physical examination and summarized what he thought of my condition and why. He also explained the reason behind the two different potential surgery dates. My work involves a lot of research and analysis. I had extensively researched hip revisions before this office visit, so understanding the reasons behind Dr. Edkin's decisions was a big deal for me. I sincerely appreciate that he took extra time to ensure I understood the factors involved and what to expect. I would recommend Dr. Edkins to others based on what I've seen so far of him and his support staff at University Orthopaedic Surgeons.”
– Karen B.
“My experience with Dr. Edkin was life-altering. For four years, my knees were so full of arthritis that I could hardly walk. They were both bone-on-bone and extremely painful. I moved here last year and planned to see my normal orthopedic surgeon. But when we moved here, I had to start over searching for a top-notch orthopedic surgeon. I researched for quite a while and was able to find Dr. Edkin. He was the best find of my life, next to my husband of 40 years. I'm entirely recovered after two knee replacements, both within three months of each other.”
– Linnea M.
