No more painful swollen legs!

Here is Dr Edwards with another very happy patient. His patient told us that before seeing Dr. Christopher Edwards, he was in constant pain. His legs and ankles were swollen and he had a very hard time walking. After having his venous ablation procedures, he and his family cannot believe the difference it has made! No more swelling or pain after only a few weeks! “Dr. Edwards is really is an amazing doctor, and I’m so glad I did my procedures with him!” Dr Edwards sees patients at First Coast Heart and Vascular Centers in St Augustine and Palm Coast.

COVID-19 NOTICE

Masks are still required at all First Coast Heart and Vascular Centers. If you do not have a mask, one will be provided. Even though many of our providers and staff members are fully vaccinated and we know many of you are as well, we are continuing to follow the CDC guidance. The CDC has continued to recommend that even fully vaccinated individuals must remain masked when providing or receiving patient care in a healthcare setting. As a larger portion of the population becomes vaccinated, we all look forward to the day we can reduce the current mask wearing rules.

We’re proud of everyone making the effort to keep yourselves and everyone that follows you safe and viral-free. We continue to do the same and have even extended some of our measures. Our offices continued to be cleaned hourly and our exam rooms after every visit. All of our offices in Duval, Clay, St. Johns and Flagler Counties remain 100% open and ready to take care of you. All of our doctors are here and healthy. These are stressful times for everyone and we are here to make sure that does not harm your cardiovascular health in any way. As you pay close attention to protecting your body from Covid-19, we simultaneously ask you to pay close attention to your cardiac issues as we want you safe and healthy in both cases. Although our offices are open and in-office, face-to-face visits will always be the medical gold standard, we have rolled out very easy and productive video conferencing technology so that we can still have a visit with you. If you sense any changes in your health, have any concerns or just want to play it safe, please give us a call and we’ll set up an office or video-based visit with you.
