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.

Great experience!
Dr. Adams was very kind and understanding, I was able to get in quickly with their urgent care. The whole process was great from start to finish.

Dr. Mark Adams and team at Columbia Orthopaedic Gr
Office visits are always on time, yet the team seems to have plenty of time to answer questions, etc. The actual surgical procedure was done efficiently and my rehab is going very well.

Wonderful doctor and staff!
Care I received was wonderful. I felt Dr. Adams was very attentive to my needs and what I wanted out of surgery. I have other health conditions and felt listened to and heard. I would 100% recommend Dr. Adams and his team, and I will be returning to him for my other knee surgery and any other orthopedic needs.

Best knee doctor
We choose this doctor for our then 16 year old daughter's ACL knee surgery & outcome is 100% successful. Completly healed in a year & she was full participation & later became a firefighter. I've had 4 ortho knee surgeries across decades & was over 50 when Dr Adams performed my most recenttheagain the outcome was fantastic. I am still able to participate in powerlifting competitions in my 50's.
