Would give a zero stars if it would take it

Dr. Adkins was my doctor for my pregnancy back 2005. When I started contractions early on in the afternoon, he came in and supposedly broke my water and put me on Pitocin to increase my labor. Only he should have known by the dry bed sheet that my water wasn't broken. Regardless, 12 hours and a lot of pain later I was in labor to which he asked the nurse to slow it down cause he was busy with other patients and wasn't ready. My baby started to go into distress because Dr. Adkins did not check to see if he was facing the right direction which he was not. Not to mention the baby was stuck. His heart rate started dropping and he wasn't getting oxygen. Twenty minutes or so later I was being prepared for surgery. By the time I had a C-section I went into shock and the baby had been in distress for over 30 minutes. Today my son is almost 14 and has short term memory issues as well as behavioral and psychological issues. If he wasn't without oxygen for as long as he was then I believe he would be a different kid. He was blue when he came out and was diagnosed with Asperger's at age 4. This doctor is the worst I've ever experienced or heard about.

Five Stars

RN

Love Dr. Adkin's, but not crazy about the staff. He is attentive, and takes time diagnosing your symptoms. He has taken extra time to discuss treatment plan with me and my spouse. He explained all the options for my treatment and allowed me to make an educated decision with his full support.

Very skilled, experienced, caring OB/GYN

Dr. Adkins delivered both of my daughters. He has a lot of exerience, a great bedside manner, and is great at reading you to know what level he should use to communicate with you.The single thing that impressed me most about him is that he is very good at following your personal wishes for your delivery, within the bounds of safety, and takes the opinions of the nurse who has been caring for you all day into account. I pushed for over 3 and a half hours with my first child. Most doctors probably would have had me in the operating room after 1 or 2. He doesn't rush things and doesn't schedule early surgeries or inductions to better meet his own schedule.The only suggestion I would have is that if it's convenient for you to see him away from the main Meade Pkwy. office, I would do so. The Meade office is a lot busier and wait times there can get pretty long. I've seen him at both Churchland and Smithfield and had much shorter waits at both locations.
