Great examination start to finish. Very thorough review/exam of past history, current condition and ongoing treatment plan. It was worth the long drive to know I made a wise choice finding excellent new doctors.

Dr Adkins was awesome. He listened to me and spent a significant amount of time going over my history with RA. He gave excellent advice, sent me for x-rays, and followed up quickly. I am so glad he had a a cancellation that day and I got in to see him. He is an awesome rheumatologist.
