Dr. Adkins (and the student) listened well. Dr. Adkins provided teaching to the student and asked my permission first. He was thorough and provided research results to support his recommendations. I felt that he considered my needs in formulating a plan.

First visit with this rheumatologist. Thought he would request lab work to check autoimmune disease and f/u appointment. He did neither and told me if anything changes to schedule appt. If my autoimmune disease is inactive he should have discussed with me but he said nothing. He did ask excellent history questions about why I was there for appointments.
