My wife and I have been in the care of Dr. Adams for many years. He has treated us for various illnesses ranging from minor to very serious, successfully. From our experience, Dr. Adams deeply cares for his patients welfare, is an excellent listener, and very knowledgeable in his field. We have been blessed to have Dr. Adams as our Primary Care Physician.

Dr. Adams has been my MD for over a decade. He is the kind of MD that values patient relationships and takes the time to listen to patient concerns. When visiting him I have never felt rushed or under stress due to time constraints. He truly cares about the welfare of his patients and stands ready to assist them when needed.

Dr. Rick Adams has been my physician for 13 years...I appreciate his caring and listening to me when I come into his office. He is available on e-mail when I have concerns, and can usually get me into see him when I need to...we need more physicians like Dr. Adams!

this review is for the whole group of doctors in medical colleagues of texas. A doctors job is to see patients when they are sick and you can forget getting in to see any of these doctors. I am not a new patient but my daughter is because she is only 15 and has not needed to see a doctor yet. They all refused to see her despite her urgent need to be seen. I am disgusted by these people and I will not ever go to them for help again. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME with people who do not care!

Adams was a referral from a co-worker and i've been going to him now several years. Isnâ??t the point to have a very good relationship with your doctor? If so than OMG what a refreshing concept...to find a doctor who has great bedside manner, listens to you and is sincerely interested in your wellbeing all with a sense of humor and professionalism. Many other doctors should take lessons in time spent with patient, care and bedside manner. As long as Dr Rick Adams is around, I will not change to another GP physician ever
