Dr. Edelstein was absolutely wonderful in his showing me the results of my MRI on his computer and pointing out all the things that were wrong with my knee. He pointed out and explained where the written results of my MRI were on the MRI and what those results meant. He patiently answered all my questions, including such basic ones such as the deference between tendinitis and tendonosis. He carefully listened to all my questions and concerns with extreme patience and good will and explained everything in a manner I could easily understand. He is the perfect proponent of that old adage “There is no such thing as a stupid question,” although I probably tested the limits of that adage. I believe he is extremely knowledgeable and shared that knowledge with me. Since I am 79 years old, I have seen too many doctors of whom I could not say that.

Dr Edelstein has been excellent to work with. He is a skilled surgeon who collaborates well with his patients, including them in the decision making process in regards to pre and post surgery care. He does not talk down to patients, rather he presents the utmost respect and knowledge within the scope of the patient's understanding. Excellent results and I am very happy to have him as my doctor.

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
