Dr. Adkison is an excellent provider! Having been in the medical field for 3 decades (RN/CRNP)I find it very challenging to find providers who are experts in their field and genuinely care enough to engage with their patients. I would recommend him to anyone needing shoulder surgery! Second to none took 4 providers to choose him and I chose him in one visit!

Never met a more personal, companionate physician. Dr. Adkison did a full shoulder replacement for me at 73 and three weeks I was hunting in the woods. One year later I am doing fantastic! His technique is cutting edge and so far ahead of other classic practices!

Very personable. It is clear that he is passionate and more than knowledgable about what he does. My recovery has been lightning fast and I attribute most of that to the skill that Dr. Adkison brought to my surgery. Highly recommended.

Dr. Atkison takes his time explaining to you what is going on with your shoulder and how he can help. He listens to you without rushing you along. He is very caring.
