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.

I have seen a lot of doctors in my life, good and bad. Dr. Adams is leaps and bounds the very best, he's a God send. I feel very fortunate to have found him. As for his staff they are fantastic, I think he makes sure of that !

He always has a smile on his face and explains things well. He makes you feel like he cares and wants to help which is refreshing when there are a lot of doctors out there who are in the profession just for the money!

This doctor is NOT accepting new medicaid patients and should update his profile so new patients with medicaid do not waste their time trying to get an appointment. Unfriendly receptionist as well.

Couldn't get an appointment. I tried to make an appointment today and was told he is not taking new patients even though I saw him several years ago. I was told this after I asked if he accepted medicare.

Dr, Adams is extraordinary. He has treated me for 7+ years, he really works hard to help each patient. He is sensitive, gifted and kind, you don't often find those qualities combined with such medical skill. His staff reflects his high standards in patient care. I highly recommend Dr. Adams, I would trust him with my life. In fact I have. I don't know what I would do without Dr. Adams,
