Dr. Edgar makes up in hubris what he lacks in bedside manners. After performing surgery on our child, he had the audacity to say that, months after surgery, the continued shoulder pain ”is all in her head.”

Months of PT later, Dr. Edgar referred us out of the UConn Medical Center, Storrs office to an off-site location on the UConn campus with a sports trainer to try out a newly developed medical device for the shoulder. This device, which was developed in Italy, was not FDA approved. Dr. Edgar explained that he had recently been to Italy to see the prototype in use. Dr. Edgar referred to this electrical device as a “pace-maker.” We later learned from a sports trainer, who agreed that the device was causing more harm than good, that apparently Dr. Edgar had a financial interest in this new device. Dr. Edgar never disclosed his financial interests to us or that the device was not FDA approved for use.

Without any improvement, Dr. Edgar stated that a surgeon we saw for a second opinion could open up the surgical site again, but all they would find is how well [Edgar’s] original surgery went.

Several years later, without any decrease in pain or improvement in the shoulder’s range of motion, I write this review as a warning about how condescending and disingenuous Dr. Edgar can be to his [female] patients. “It’s all in your head,” is not treatment, it is misogynistic and disrespectful and speaks volumes as to who you are as a man and a physician.

Also, FYI, search his full name and “arrested” for further insight into Dr. Edgar. Enough said?

He broke my collarbone during surgery trying to take plates and screws out...when he put plates and screws in he caused a severe brachial plexus injury and paralyzed my arm for six month then blamed his colleague and blame me for breaking my collarbone. he sent me home after surgery with a broken collarbone..he will face my attorney for the damage he did...then during my surgical prep he came in to talk before surgery and told my to be quiet about this or he will not fix my collarbone that he broke..
