About Me

Dr. Eric Edwards joined Mount Sinai as a Surgeon in 2014. After graduating with his medical degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Dr. Edwards completed his residency in General Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical Center. He then moved to Lutheran Medical Center for his fellowship in Minimally Invasive Surgery and Bariatric Surgery. With his board certification by the American Board of Surgery, Dr. Edwards specializes in conventional open and minimally invasive procedures, as well as bariatric surgery.

In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Edwards serves as an Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Garlock Division of General, Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery at The Icahn School of Medicine. He is also the Chief of Surgery and the Head of the Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery Program at Mount Sinai Queens.
