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.

He was wonderful, patient, understanding and excellent! Met my needs with anxiety, talked me through it.. made me feel safe. Staff was exceptional.. I feel badly for anyone that thought they had a bad experience.. def worth a second chance

Fantastic!. I've had multiple injections in right hip, which required prior auth from insurance company. Buff Spine Sport staff did everything to assist in getting injection/s approved. Knowledgeable Dr., listens offers options, not just his idea/s, offers balanced approach to patient health.

If you have or think you may have Ankylosing Spondylitis, stay clear of McAdams. I've had it for 30 years. He failed to diagnose 21 years ago. Gave him another chance upon rheumatology referral for herniated disc. He still doesn't know his stuff when it comes to AS. Pretty scary for a spine Dr.! He believes an old myth that AS is very rare in females and acted like I was lying. I've been diagnosed and on Enbrel for 15 years now thanks to a wonderful rheumatologist who finally diagnosed me after 16 yrs of endless suffering because of this myth that a lot of doctors once believed. Most doctors know this is not true nowadays. McAdams is behind the times on this issue.

Dr McAdam is a fantastic Doctor. He and his staff always treat me with respect and listen to what I have to say. Dr. McAdam goes out of his way to find treatment modalities that work! I highly recommend him.

Don't see this guy, Very pig headed and didn't really listen to me to much until I questioned something he said. Got other opinions on my back from other professionals and I asked him about them and he came off as how dare I question him. Also my exam was about 2 minutes, but seemed to have all the answers after that. NEVER GOING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't seem like he even wanted to hear what I said. If I could rate him a Zero I would.

When I scheduled my appointment they gave me the wrong suite number. They tell you to get there a half hour early so I did and still waited past my appointment time. The doctor did the most minimal exam he could have possibly done. Was very contradictory. Said he could see that i have limited range of motion in both lower and mid back but its usually a mental thing . Also stated that images wouldn't fix my problem. Was NO help at all but wanted me to schedule another appt. Very disappointed
