Patient Reviews
Jul 18, 2016
I have recommended Dr. Adkins SEVERAL times. Dr. Adkins has helped our son tremendously in the last 9 years. He is proficient, professional, & knowledgable. He does a fantastic job, BUT, you do have to do YOUR part to research & understand how to help YOUR child. He is a surgeon & does a wonderful job, he's not there to be your buddy. Regarding wait time: I've been that emergency in the ER & I've been that mother with 100 question that takes up too much time. I don't mind waiting.
