Dr. Adams was more than friendly, and professional. She took her time with me and made me feel very comfortable talking with her. I have anxiety seeing the doctor and she made me 100% comfortable. She also wrote me a follow-up email about all of my blood work the next day. She acted like she really cared. Fantastic doctor!
