A patient 11 years, a survivor twice, thanks to Dr. Adams. He ordered the correct tests and detected my cancer early. This is key to survival.

Doctor Adams surgically removed a dirty cyst from my left breast approximately 8 years ago. I am still impressed by how barely visible the scar is. Dr Adams was very caring and professional throughout the entire process of properly diagnosing what the lump actually was and properly removing it.

Dr. Adams and his staff treat you with respect, kindness and compassion. When he tells you he will call you with results he does. His bedside manner was exceptional as well as his surgical skills.

Dr. Adams is a wonderful, caring surgeon. He has even called me on a Sunday evening to remind me to schedule a follow up for my breast cancer. Shows a true concern for his patients. Highly recommended

Once diagnosed with breast cancer, you don't have much time to take action. I actually changed doctor teams because I wasn't comfortable with the first team that was recommended by the breast center where I received the diagnosis. I am so fortunate to have found my way to Dr. Adams. He is upbeat, gentle, and extremely patient in his explanation of the steps that were to follow. My pain after the bilateral mastectomy was nominal -- and for less than 2 days! The hardest part of my post surgery recovery was staying seated to rest and heal since I felt so good.

Dr. Adams is clearly a fine sugeon and doctor, but the office experience leaves a lot to be desired! A lot! First of all you have to sit in the exam room half naked with a little white paper dressing the size of a dinner napkin, to hold over your breasts. I can't imagine it covers most normal size women. So why even bother! Then he does a proceedure with NO assistant in the room! Just you (again, half naked) and him. No nurse, or aide to help him or ease you. Not cool! Oh yea, and its cold in the emam room. The office could use an air freshener at the very least. The office staff is fair. Friendly enough but not on top of things.

I have been a patient of Dr. Adams for 17 years. Dr. Adams' diagnosis and advice has always been accurate.The staff is hard working and dedicated. As far as surgical skills, he has hands of gold. The only second opinion I would trust after Dr. Adams is Memorial Sloan-Kettering.
