Michael A. Edwards, M.D., is a physician in the Department of General Surgery at Mayo Clinic hospital in Jacksonville, Florida. His clinical interests include the multidisciplinary care of patients with severe obesity, gastrointestinal and abdominal wall disorders using minimal access surgical techniques, such as minimally invasive (laparoscopic) and robotic-assisted surgery. He also treats conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux, hiatal and paraesophageal hernias, gastroparesis, spleen disorders, and benign disorders of the gallbladder and benign disorders of the adrenal gland (hyperaldosteronism, Cushing's syndrome and pheochromocytoma).

He earned his medical degree from George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C., where he also completed his surgical residency. Afterwards, Dr. Edwards was a fellow in surgical critical care at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, followed by a fellowship in minimally invasive and bariatric surgery at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts.

Dr. Edwards has authored or co-authored numerous peer-reviewed articles, book chapters and abstracts in his area of surgery, and has edited and reviewed many other professional publications. He is certified by the American Board of Surgery. Dr. Edwards holds multiple leadership roles with national surgical societies, including the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and the Society of Advanced Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgery. He serves as a quality leader for the Mayo Clinic Department of Surgery and for Mayo Clinic in Florida.

In his free time, Dr. Edwards enjoys spending time with his family and dogs, golfing, and community engagement and outreach activities.
