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.

Dr. Adam is extremely competent and knowledgeable, and devoted to the welfare of his patients. I am currently under his care, and he is taking a welcome conservative approach. His manner is professional yet very kind. I feel fortunate to have found him.

I had a bunion surgery done by Dr. Richard Adams back in Decmeber 2018. I am in the military and to this day, August 2019, I have been told that he cut to much bone which caused my large toe to become shorter than the others so I only have 30% mobility in my toe in adition the screw that were supposed to evaperate have yet to do so... they were screwed into a tendion and that tendon has now become inflamed and swollen over the screws. I have been in Physical Therapy for the past 4 months and I am getting revision surgery August 9th by getting my toe re-broke and a cadavier bone inputed to try and fix my range of motion...by an on base surgion to try and fix his mistakes. This has caused so many issues do to being in the military and I can't do my job do to the issues he has caused.

Dr. Adams is so kind and knowledgeable. I have seen many Dr.s about my foot condition but I can honestly say I finally found a Dr. who actually cares and wants to help me more then anything. My only thing I wish was different was he could see me for everything, not just my feet and ankles, lol.

Dr. Richard Adams and his staff are a joy. They are professional, personable, and caring. I just had surgery for a heel spur, and have felt from the beginning of my diagnosis that Dr. Adams really cares for the well being of his patients. A treasure. Highly recommend him.

I had a broken toe nail that wouldn't grow properly, he decided removal of the toe nail was the best choice. I agreed to it and the procedure itself hurt a LOT. I had barely left the office when I was already feeling the pulsating pain and even though I called the office and let him know my pain was unbearable I was advised to just take Tylenol extra strength. I had to miss work for 4 days because I could not sleep. The nail did not grow back properly. I told him he had missed a part of the nail

Utterly disappointed in San Antonio, TX – Aug 28, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Adam?
Dr. Adam was very nice. Not only did he wrap my swollen ankle, he showed me how to wrap it so I could do it at home. He also explained to me on a chart in detail why my ankle was swollen & of course told me what was needed to be done for the swelling to go down. He was very helpful & his staff was super sweet. I would definitely recommend him to other patients. Thank you Dr. Adam!

Dr Adam is a kind and very knowledgeable Foot specialist. His staff is top notch and seem to really enjoy working for him. He has taken great care of me after a toe amputation and with his care have not lost any more of my foot. Cant imagine seeing any one else.

Dr. Adam is very professional. He listened thoroughly to my concerns about my son and proceeded to diagnose and treat his condition with the utmost consideration. He provided my wife and myself with a great amount of detail in regards to our son's diagnosis and treatment options. The staff was extremely kind and courteous. They made it very easy to schedule an appointment around both of our schedules. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Adam to anyone with concerns regarding their feet.

I've seen Dr. Richard Adam since I was young. He is a incredible doctor! Very professional and caring. He has seen me for ingrown nails, flat feet, hair line fractures, brused bones, and so on. Hes also seen my kids when they get hurt. He is a very sweet doctor. I have definitely recommended him to others and will continue recommending him!

my family and I have seen this Dr and he is great.. When we went in for pain in our foot or bunions for my daughter he has always given us options on what is the best way to go.. Whether it be orthotics to injections to avoid surgery or getting surgery.. He explained everything in detail.. By the time I left his office I knew exactly what is wrong with our feet.. All my questions were answered before even asking.. Recommend him highly..

This physician relied on information supplied by an office technologist (who said she had worked there a few months) He never examined me, only began talking surgery immediately. He never questioned my reason for being there. I am a diabetic and we are encouraged to have our feet examined yearly, but this physician NEVER even looked at my feet beyond my bunions. I felt that if he couldn't make surgical money off me then he was NOT interested. I will NOT return to see this physician again.
