Dr. McAdam has excellent bedside manner, is clearly a skilled surgeon, and very detailed in his explanations. There is an obvious level of compassion in Dr. McAdam’s work and consistently makes patients feel heard. He has seen me through multiple knee surgeries over the last few years and I have never had anything but positive reviews.

I appreciated Dr. McAdam’s approach. He introduced himself and while that may not seem like a big deal, many doctors do not take the minute to do that. He was very clear in his explanations and address my concerns with care and consideration. Appreciate knowing he is there and that I have a surgeon I can trust.
