Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been with Dr. Adams for a few years now. He is always gentle and kind. He does a wonderful exam and explains everything he is doing during a procedure. I would totally recommend him.

July 20th was my first appointment with APDerm and Dr. Christopher Adams, at the Concord, NH office. APDerm is a highly organized medical dermatology office. The staff is friendly and Dr. Christopher Adams was friendly, and my skin cancer exam was very thorough. I think the APDerm online access that allows patients to schedule appointments, and fillout medical forms or download them, and communicate with APDerm staff is a great option for patients. My APDerm appointment was a wonderful experience.

Dr. Adams is simply the best - smart, thoughtful, and committed with excellent bedside manners. He is my go-to dermatologist. I moved to Florida several years ago, but still travel to Concord, NH just to see him! He is worth the effort and time, because he truly understands the impact to quality of life from dermatological issues and is focused on trying to find an effective resolution or management plan. I value his knowledgable, dedicated approach and would recommend him to anyone!

I found Dr. Adams to be thorough. He took care of anything I had issues with. He is very knowledgeable! He’s kind and considerate and professional. I’m recommending him to my daughter who has has three separate Mohs surgeries and needs regular check ups.

The offsite calling ctr for appointments needs to tell patients that the office is not at concord hospital pillsbury bld but at pillsbury street. Totally different location. I was told that the mix up happens a lot. So really?! Fix it already. I missed my appt for Wednesday because of this. They run a tight ship where appts are scheduled at 10 minutes intervals. Uh really??!! Having said that when I went to my rescheduled appt the doctor and his assistant were great. They took the time to examine my condition so it took more than 10 minutes. Uhm did someone get dumped?? Nothing but praise for the in office staff they are great. Just fix the appt snafu ??

I'm very grateful to Dr. Adams and his staff for listening to me and addressing my concerns about my skin and related health issues. A practitioner at a different dermatology practice dismissed the chronic pain I was experiencing with one condition and it was frustrating not to get an answer and some sort of treatment. Dr. Adams listened to me, examined the affected area, and quickly prescribed a medication in one visit. His staff are polite and efficient and I highly trust and recommend his care.
