I've been treated by Dr Edmonds over the past ten years, and she always takes time to listen to how I've been, goes through test results in detail, provides referrals where needed eg Hydrotherapy, Acupuncture, Carpal Tunnel syndrome surgery. I've always been impressed by her manner with me as a patient, and I would highly recommend her as a rheumatologist.

My GP referred me to Dr Edmonds because she suspected I had GCA (Giant Cell Arteritis). From the outset Dr Edmonds gave me every confidence; she patiently listened whilst I described signs and symptoms before carrying out the appropriate tests. Having concluded my condition was more likely than not to be GCA, she arranged for an immediate ultra-sound scan to confirm her belief. The ultra-sound confirmed the diagnosis of GCA. I was immediately prescribed relevant medication and further consultations were diarised. Within 48 hrs the crippling headaches had gone and have not returned. I cannot thank Dr Edmonds enough for the manner in which she has dealt with me and my condition.

Told me if I wanted a ‘magic pill’ for my ailments that I was in the wrong place. This was before I’d even sat down and before I’d even spoken! Belittled me at every opportunity and criticised my life in general. Offered no solutions for my situation. Total waste of time

I have suffered from severe hip pain for six years and after a series of steroid injections which gave very little relief I decided to seek a second opinion. Sally Edmunds was recommended. I found her very helpful and positive and after listening to my symptons diagnosed oesteo arthritis which was confirmed by X-ray and an early total hip replacement was recommended. I am now on the way to making a full recovery. I was saddened to read the previous review as she has a very good reputation and can only say that I would highly recommend her.

1.Does not do her research on lymphoma staging and sjogren's disease 2. she seriously needs to think about contacting the BSSA charity who will immediately advise her that a lip biopsy does NOT determine a diagnosis in thousands if not millions of people, perhaps then, she will begin to grasp the concept 3. be aware or learn to accept there are other tests for SS, she needs to know that a blood test does not always account for other factors, it doesn't matter how long she has worked in rheumatology it doesn't mean she's right, making assumptions, getting uptight about a patient questioning her very vague ''opinion'' especially since the patient records were clearly not read through enough to understand further investigations, scans, tests need to be carried out, sjogren's develops over a very long time in someone's life it might be too early to detect a lack of saliva affecting the mouth but the patient has other agonising and prolonged symptoms that seriously affect their quality of life.. Rheumatoid arthritis must not be ruled out either, is she completely dismissing the fact that someone can have ''arthralgia'' which still has implications and is a PRECURSOR to arthritis. She then dangerously dismisses the fact that the patient has a family history if the issue while in front of a junior doctor in the room. Aside from the above, to sum up her attitude towards a patient, she's so utterly arrogant in her line of work and ignorant to say the least, to be completely honest I wouldn't recommend her unless you want to be insulted and not receive the treatment you're entitled to. As i've experienced her ignorance I feel she is unsafe to work at these clinics and her qualifications are meaningless, she rudely speaks over the patient and hurries them out the door. She moves about from one trust to another and has no staying power or commitment to her CV. TBA To be avoided.
