This is why I came here. The doctor listened, answered all my questions, got me in and out before my appointment. Explained everything and didn't rush me. So happy with my choice to seek a 2nd opinion.

I would most definitely recommend Dr. Adams to my friends and family. She was very kind, knowledgeable about my issues and took her time. I didn't feel rushed and she answered all my questions. At the end of each explanation she would stop and ask if I understood. She cared about me and helping me.
