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.

He’s one of a kind. I’ve never seen a better doctor. He has helped me tremendously. I trust him. He’s different. I only wish I could have been his patient sooner.

Dr. Adams is a fantastic doctor who genuinely cares about his patients. He is like a doctor of yesteryear. He knows your name, you're not a chart number to him. I highly recommend Dr. Adams!

Was waiting for a follow up appointment within 2 weeks. Doctor never called back to schedule the appointment! This is NOT compassionate care! I will take my business elsewhere where they actually CARE about patients.

Waiting 1.5 hours for an appointment is unacceptable! Plus, he gets you on meds right away when you have a symptom he feels needs it. You just lost my business. Dont try to schmooze me over asking me to become your patient by giving me business cards!

Dr. Adams is top rate. He knows all about the meds and how they will work in your system (well or not)-- He is patient and listens so well- and his assessment is always correct. You will be grateful you chose him.

After years of self-neglect, a few bad experiences within the medical community & with my trauma history, I was actually terrified of meeting with a new primary doctor. I burst into tears when he first walked in because I was so scared. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to articulate myself adequately or if I could even trust him. His calming demeanor, supportive nature & confidence immediately put my mind at ease. He will listen to you & take great care of you. He is a fantastic doctor, well organized, non-judgmental, intelligent, well educated & thorough. I highly recommend him. My quality of life is improving under his care. Thank you, Dr. Joseph Adams. Sumter, South Carolina is lucky to have you.
