Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wonderful Doctor....full of compassion and good humor. Thankful to find a thoughtful, caring soul. I would recommend this man to everyone.

I've had a problem with my right knee for many, many years, resulting from a series of sports injuries. I was lucky enough to find Dr. Kent Adamson, who recommended and performed total knee replacement surgery, complicated by a meniscus removed a long time ago. Dr. Adamson is the consummate professional, and I could not be happier with the process and the ultimate results. Additionally, his very busy office is staffed by happy, competent, very pleasant and amiable people (just like Dr. Adamson), and they honor and respect appointment times! I've never waited more than 10 minutes. I highly recommend Dr. Kent Adamson; under his care, I know you, and I, will be "in good hands."

Dr. Adamson gave me a new knee and I couldn't be happier. He is an excellent doctor who takes the time needed to understand his patients and their activities. Also listens and asks pertinent questions. Great bedside manner. Couldn't ask for more.

It has now been one year since Dr. Adamson performed rotator cuff surgery on my shoulder. As he predicted, it is now completely healed and I have 100% mobility. I know this is due to his surgical skill and the post op physical therapy he prescribed for me. Thank you very much, Dr. Adamson!

This review is long overdue! I have seen Dr. Adamson for several different issues over the years. He's treated both my shoulders and my knew. He's operated on both shoulders. He has always been fantastic and listened when I explained what I was feeling. I've never felt rushed and not cared for by him. I have recommended him to others as well. Dr. Adamson is kind, caring, and professional. Thanks Dr!

Dr. Adamson performed a success repair of my left rotator cuff a few years ago. The entire experience was the best I could have expected. I have been totally satisfied with his care. Recently I have had to return for an evaluation of sciatic pain. He immediately ordered an x-ray, prescribed PT and pain medication. Then after 2 weeks ordered an MRI, called me immediately with the results and referred me to 2 good spine surgeons. I would highly recommend him to anyone and have in the past.

Since 2001 I have been coming to CMOG. I have had an ACL repair, meniscus with lateral release, and six shoulder surgeries. I was injured performing my job as a Fire Captain. Dr. Adamson repaired me and I was able to finish my career as a Fire Captain. I know many firefighters that have used Dr. Adamson. He is professional, courteous, understanding, and a skilled surgeon. He manage's my injuries today and if I have discomfort or pain, he will prescribe the best treatment plan. I recommend him.

Since 2006 I'm a regular patient of Dr.Adamson. He did two hip replacements and one Achilles tendon rupture. The Achilles tendon surgery was done on one day notice. He did great aftercare and his referral to physical therapy eased my recovery immensely. I live oversees and I'm very warmly welcome when I come in for a checkup. Also he will do my knee replacement surgery. I'm fully trust his capabilities and can warmly recommend Dr. Adamson.

Dr. Adamson operated on my knee after another doctors painful surgery failed. When my knee broke from the first doctors surgery I was left with the prognosis of never being able to walk normal again (confirmed by two other doctors). Dr. Adamson restored my knee and my ability to walk normal again. The surgery was relatively painless compared to the other doctor. Thus my recovery was quicker. I highly recommend Dr. Adamson.

Dr. Adamson literally saved my knees and my left foot. First it was the right knee, then the left, then my foot -- all dumb accidents. I was able to avoid surgery and go on a 100 mile hike with my husband, thanks to Dr. Adamson's diagnosis and care. His care and the care of his staff were warm, informative and always kind. If anything happens with any of my bones, he is the only one I want to take care of it!

I too had a bad experience with Dr. Adamson. Meniscus surgery. Still in pain a year after. Not only that but my good knee is not not so good. If I told you what he said in response to this, you would be shocked!

Dr. Adamson, with his cavalier attitude, performed surgery he's done "thousands of times", his words. But in my case "missed" the area of the meniscus that should have been repaired. After the initial surgery I underwent weeks of PT, still experiencing severe pain, only to find out one of the areas had not been repaired and had gotten worse. I had to undergo yet another surgery months later, different surgeon. My MRI's were clear, he said "sorry! It gets worse, choose your surgeon carefully.
