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.

Best hand surgeon ever.
He is quite simply the best surgeon I have ever had. He is funny, he cares, he answers all of my questions. He even had a few hilarious nicknames for me. Utah never had a better surgeon than him. Sad for his Utah patients that he's in Texas now. Can't find a doctor to fill his place.

Worst Doctor Ever. Don't go. 20 years later I'm STILL having issues related to a surgery he performed which included a titanium implant that was too long and he refused to listen to me or my physical therapist on numerous occasions about the severe pain and severely limited mobility in my dominant arm. Finally got approval for a second opinion by a much younger and caring doctor who took the time to listen. He did an xray, said the implant is too long, and he removed it the next week. I had almost full mobility in a few reasonable weeks. Unfortunately, during the almost one year of seeing Dr. Adams with his arrogant attitude of dismissal, there were consequences that I have had to deal with including a surgery on my opposite shoulder as well as off an on 20 years of pain in my wrist. Save yourself, save your family, save your friends, from seeing this guy and see ANYONE else. I just looked him up to see if he's still practicing in Utah and see he's moved on to Texas at some point.
