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.

PCP was not involved and staying in Houston on most appointments. He never provided my records when requested. He kept giving medicine not suitable for improved health. He never made visits to me hospital nor bothered to follow up with PCP and specialists. He called them quacks. He called me a liar when l told him about my medical history until it was confirmed with lab and x rays. My health was deteriorating rapidly but said l was in good health. I do not recommend this doctor even on my worst enemy. No one deserves to be treated like this. There competent and caring doctors out there. But not Dr. Adame. Please don't waste your time or money.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Adames?
for me he has been an excellent PCP since I had consulted him for the first time nearly three years ago, certainly he is kind of a doctor always focused on anstrictly profesional CLIENT / CONSULTANT relationswhip: he always has been an acerted diagnostician and when it has been nescesary he has directed me to the right specialist, last but not least, hi is not onliy kind and tactfull but also brief, clear and specific.
