Cory M. Edgar's Online Review Report Card

Highly recommend- I had a knee surgery that wasn't successful before I saw Dr. Edgar, and was nervous to try again. Dr. Edgar was able to explain my dysfunction and has restored my knee, I am about 5 years out of surgery and recommend him to anyone in the area asking about an orthopedic surgeon.

I was referred to see Dr Edgar for surgery just to be told he won't see me as a patient. Wasted over a week trying to get everything to him

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, Google search his full name and “coughed” for a police arrest article for further insight into Dr. Edgar. Enough said?

Doc is a true craftsman of his trade. He is passionate, caring, energetic & only wants what is best for his patients.

We were relieved and humbled after meeting Dr. Edgar, a true professional in every sense of the word.

It's been a year since my surgery and all I can say is that Dr. Edgar corrected a big mistake another Dr. caused and has fixed my rotator cuff and restored the use my R arm. This is an excellent surgeon with compassion and professionalism that is hard to find. Thank you Dr. Edgar

Dr. E has been my ortho since 2019 when I suffered a 3 part closed humoral fracture in my arm/shoulder. The first ortho told me I needed PT to fix the issue. Dr. E took one look at the X-Rays, explained my injury, eased my mind about the extent of my injury and the surgery I needed. He explained honestly what I was facing, and the recovery I would have. Within 6 months, I had 75% range of motion...something neither of us expected...and within the year, close to 95%, again something neither of us expected due to the severity of injury or my age. I go yearly for a check in and am so glad I went to him for a 2nd opinion!

Gifted surgeon. Wonderful and responsive staff.

Dr Edgar is great! He takes his time explaining everything to me and did my surgery, I am very pleased. I would definitely recommend to my family & friends!
