So kind and a good listener. I’d be confident having him do a knee surgery on me albeit I hope I don’t need one.

I have been under Doctor McAdams care for the last few years and absolutely love the way he has dealt with me and explain things in a way where I can understand it and taking the extra time to make sure I understood it before I left my appointments.

Very easy to talk to and thorough in his exam. He outlined a good plan for moving forward with my daughter's shoulder issue.
