He was attentive and allowed me to ask questions. I believe he was thorough and offered steps along the way to prolong or dismiss the need for surgery. I appreciate that. He is working with me.

It has been several years since I last had an appointment with Dr. McAdam. He is always professional and easy to talk to. He doesn't talk down to you. He actually apologized for running a little behind. I have waited a LOT longer for other doctors and not received an apology or explanation. He explains things so a layperson can understand. The support staff and x-ray techs were also great to work with and didn't make me feel like I was wasting their time (that's how I feel when I go to some doctor's offices).
