Dr. Edwards attended the University of Utah and graduated Magna Cum Laude honors in 1981. He then proceeded to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he studied medicine.  After graduation in 1985, he returned to Salt Lake to fulfill his internship and internal medicine residency at LDS Hospital.

His next two years were spent serving a cardiology fellowship at the Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

Dr. Edwards holds board certified in interventional and nuclear cardiology as well as general cardiology.  He is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology and a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine and the National Board of Medical Examiners.  He is on active staff at St. Marks and Pioneer Valley hospitals and courtesy staff at Alta View, Cottonwood, and LDS Hospitals.

Because of his proficiency in the field of cardiology, Dr. Edwards is a stent and rotablator proctor, meaning he instructs other cardiologists on the latest procedural techniques.

In 1991, Dr. Edwards helped write a bit of local medical history when he participated in the first artherectomy procedure performed in Salt Lake City. Additionally, Dr. Edwards holds the distinction of implanting the first elective stent at St. Marks Hospital.

A native of Dallas, Texas, Dr. Edwards and his wife of 18 years, Cynthia, enjoy Utah's unique blend of cultural activities, traditional values, and mountain terrain.  They have three great children, Elyssa, Jeremiah, and Arianna. 

As an alumnus of the University of Utah Ski Team, he especially enjoys hitting the slopes for a day of fabulous skiing.  Other than practicing medicine and skiing, Dr. Edwards enjoys hiking, playing tennis, having fun with his children, and eating ice cream.
