My regular PCP left for Charlotte to teach at a med school 2 weeks ago. I pulled a muscle real bad working in the garden and have been hobbling around. I stopped at the med office and the intake receptionist had an opening for Dr. Adams. He's articulate, listens, asks good questions and was able to diagnose my problem. He prescribed medicine recommended by my chiropractor and had a nice tableside manner.

I would not recommend this office of medical to anyone. I started going to this office when Dr Morgan opened the practice. They treat you like you are seeking drugs. I've been on same medication for years and now they want to change all the good Dr Morgan did. Girls up front are great but would not recommend.

I've been seeing Dr. Adams for close to a year now, and I will never see another family physician again!! He is amazing, he's never rushed, always sits and listens, you can tell he genuinely cares. I have a medical issue that requires daily medicine, and we went through so many different kinds before we finally found what worked best for me. He never got impatient with the trial and error process, and anytime I did he was quick to encourage me by reminded me that everyone is different and responds to certain medications differently. He would reassure me that we would keep trying until we found what worked, and we did!! Thanks Dr. Adams!!!
