I have had to deal with mysterious symptoms and phantom pains for most of my life and as a result I…read morehave seen many doctors, suffered many needle pricks and have been through the gamut of trial meds to "see if this works". I've had doctors that exhausted every effort to pin down the cause of my problems and there have been doctors that see me briefly and walk away. I was even referred by one to see a mental health specialist to determine if it was "in my mind" not in a hypochondriac way, but keeping stress and such inside and it tearing me down. The Psych people determined that I have Sjogren's, but the meds to treat have side effects worse that the symptoms of the disease. I had a very bad experience one morning several years ago and as a result have become a patient of Dr. Edmondson. I arrived at work one morning feeling fine and just before the employee meeting I went to the bathroom to tinkle. I was washing my hands and for no reason got very weak and sick. I was in the bathroom for just over an hour vomiting, sweating, crying and freaking out a little. I dried off, cleaned up, put my shirt back on and returned to work as if nothing happened. I was white as a piece of paper, felt 10 lbs lighter and knew I would be seeing a doctor to determine why that happened. Tests couldn't find a reason, but that bout of distress resulted in me getting a hiatal hernia. That brings me to the office of Dr. Edmondson and his surgical skills to put me right. Dr. Edmondson falls into the small group of doctors that exhausts all efforts to help a patient. His bedside manner is always quite, attentive and concerned. I've been through many tests via Dr. Edmondson and as a result have had a couple laparoscopic procedures performed by him and one procedure has left me unable to vomit again. I think that is a good thing so far. Of course, I haven't had the need to test it out and hope I never do. Since my operations I will be required to see Dr. Edmondson yearly for an endoscopy peek of my stomach and esophagus to ensure all is still good. I still have issues cropping up but nothing that Dr. Edmondson isn't willing to talk to me about and work on. I always get emotional and cry when I do see him for my follow up because the symptoms I deal with in public settings are embarrassing and emotionally draining and telling them to him makes me cry. He is always sympathetic and quietly listens to me and I don't get the feeling of being rushed through. ****Update: 5-1-2015 he prescribed a powdered medicine for me to use when I have flare-ups of cramping and diarrhea while eating/shortly afterward. This has made a HUGE difference in my life!!! I can make it through a meal in public now! Anyone suffering these debilitating and embarrassing episodes should consult a doctor and ask for a prescription for CHOLESTYRAMINE. It is for cholesterol, but the side effect is beneficial to people suffering stomach and colon issues.

Dr. Edmondson is an awesome doctor. He is always polite and concerned about what my symptom's are…read moreand goes through everything with me to where I can understand it. I have been coming to him since 2010 and have NEVER had any problems. He goes above and beyond for his patients. My family members also use him and they have never had any complaints either. Thank you Dr. Edmondson for being a GREAT doctor. R. Johnson

#127 I have had…read morehealth issues all my life and a majority of them left undiagnosed, such as the problem that eventually led me to meet Dr. Johnson. For over a decade I suffered from excruciating abdominal pain that would appear for no apparent reason and then go away. There was absolutely nothing over the counter that would stop the pain and countless doctors gave me the, "I see nothing wrong" line after many blood workups and testing. I had tried menstrual cramp meds, Tums, heat pad, Pepto, borrowed pain meds and nothing would ease it. I became so desperate or delirious from unrelenting pain that, at one point, I partially smoked a cigarette and the pain stopped immediately. I'm not a smoker and do not know why I tried a cigarette then, but that was my secret weapon for my mystery pain, keep a pack of menthol cigarettes in the car. When the pain struck it would be relieved after three pulls of a cigarette. That helped me get through from the mid-90s to 2005. I was at work and an attack hit me, but worse than I have ever experienced and there were spasms that took my breath away. I slumped over a chair gasping for air and a security guard found me, called my husband and off to the ER. This is when and where I met Dr. Johnson. He had blood drawn and returned within a few minutes and told me my protein was elevated and that meant my gall bladder had to come out, but he ran a sonogram to be 100%. At this point in my life I was no stranger to pain, doctors, tests, pills, stitches, punctures and such, but I had never experienced surgery of any type. I was noticeably upset and it didn't get better when he told me it needed to come out now, because it could burst at any time and I'd die from the poisoning. I asked him how many of these surgeries he has done and he said, "100s" and I ask how many died and he replied, "only 2, but one was because of a shotgun blast to the stomach and the other was because the person was 300+lb overweight." His mild manner and honest straightforward answers put me at ease enough to go through with the surgery. I made it through surgery fine, but the anesthesia had me pretty sick. A short time after surgery Dr. Johnson came in to check on me and explained that I should be leaving within a couple hours. I don't remember that visit and according to my husband I was not very friendly toward him at that juncture. Apparently, I was extremely mad and disappointed in the fact that he had promised me, all that pain I had been experiencing for over a decade would be gone and I'd feel like a new person...yet, I informed him in an unladylike manner that he was wrong and I hurt more than ever before. I didn't get to leave within a couple of hours after surgery like everyone else that has had this procedure. I stayed in there for 3 days due to the anesthesia, but Dr. Johnson came in to check on me routinely and was always smiling, even after the incident with me cursing at him so. He said it has happened to him before and he understood that I didn't mean it. After this surgery I have not had a single mystery pain and threw out the cigarettes. I have a couple of scars where he cut slits to do the laparoscopic surgery but that is it. It is because of Dr. Johnson's bedside manner that helped ease my tensions and apprehension over surgery and would help me years later when faced with another necessary operation through another doctor. I hope you never have to meet Dr. Johnson, if you do, I'm sure you will not forget him.
