Bio & Overview

Alden Adkins, MD, is a rheumatologist who specializes in diagnosing and treating inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. His areas of expertise include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, myositis, vasculitis, and gout.

“I work closely with patients so I can understand their goals, values, and priorities and create a treatment plan that fits their needs,” he says.

Dr. Adkins was born in south central Virginia and has lived in the state for most of his life. He earned his undergraduate degree from the College of William and Mary and attended medical school at the University of Virginia.

Dr. Adkins is patient, attentive, and concerned. He has a gentle spirit and a kindness that goes a long way with the elderly. He takes time to listen and explain. He also makes sure to have eye contact with the patient and because my dad is hard of hearing - he makes sure he speaks louder than he probably normally would.
