Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Adams saved my life. I am beyond grateful for him. Truly blessed. I saw a review calling him arrogant. NO, he is not. He is a no nonsense kind of Doctor. He doesn't have time for excuses. I know this first hand. He and I butt heads originally, and he even made me cry on multiple occasions. I even canceled my surgery the day of, and he STILL gave me a second chance. When I saw him the morning of surgery he said "I fully expected you to not show". I told him that I kept my promise and that if he gave me a second chance I wouldn't let him down. I am 3 years post op. I have kept my weight off, and succeed beyond measure. I never wanted to fail, and let him down. When I saw him last, about 8 months ago, he was in total awe/shock. He told me he was proud of me, and that I was the poster child for bariatric surgery. Hearing him tell me he was proud of me, meant the world to me. So those saying he is arrogant after one visit didn't take the time to get to know him. He's amazing!

Dr. Adams is the most amazing Dr. and I'm so blessed he's one of my Dr.'s! I began seeing Dr. Adams in 2013 and I still see him. The biggest thing people don't understand is that you are committing to a total lifestyle change(physically, mentally & emotionally) if YOU CANNOT COMMIT wait till you're ready! Dr. Adams NEVER sets you up to fail! He saved my life and he still is a big supporter of mine! Love the entire office, Dr A I owe you and love you 4 what u have done 4 me TY is never enough

The way this doctor spoke to me during our first appointment was humiliating. I am never seeing him or this hospital again and I’m going somewhere that patients are treated with respect He barely let me talk because he was such an arrogant jerk.

Dr. Adams is competent, professional and friendly. While visiting VA, I had an unexpected medical emergency requiring surgery. I am so grateful for Dr. Adams, his staff, and De Paul Medical Center! I would recommend his services to anyone, including any of my own family members.
