This was the first appointment. In all fairness to the doctor and PA, they were thorough in asking questions, the examination and took blood and x-rays to determine what is going on and the next steps. We will have a follow up appointment to review the findings.

This practice including front desk staff, scheduling staff, nurse, and physician is unlike any I have experienced. (That would be a lot with my medical history). They are a team and work together seamlessly. Dr. Adkins is a wonderful listener which translates into better care and fewer worries for the patient.

Dem Adkins is an excellent physician who is very knowledgeable and who explained things in a way that was easily understood. I did not feel hurried and he answered all questions/concerns I had about treatment options. I would highly recommend him.

I have already recommended Dr. Adkins to a friend. I was confident that I had received the "best of care " with Dr. Adkins!
