Dr. McAdam embodies every quality you hope for in a physician: expertise, empathy, experience, timeliness, and patience. He explains things thoroughly without ever a hint of condescension. And he never leaves the room until he is certain that all your questions have been answered. I just had a rotator cuff and bicep tendon repair done by him two days ago. I don’t know if I’ve ever gone into a surgery having greater confidence in my surgeon than I did with Dr. McAdam. He is truly the best.
