I am not a fan of dental work at all. However, Dr. Adams and staff were terrific! I had to have a gum graft and was very nervous about it. They were able to answer all questions that I had and kept me calm during my procedure. The front staff is always so friendly and inviting. Office is very clean. As a nurse, I was impressed and pleased that during my graft they monitored my blood pressure and HR! Thank you Dr. Adams and staff for making this process as pleasant as possible!

So very thankful for dr adams and his staff.... Visiting from out of state and they got me in for emergency extractions. They've made a very disappointing experience less upsetting and as pleasant as possible. I highly recommend them, as they are so personable, professional and kind.

Dr. Adams did a post op today and the results were great. He and his staff are awsome. As a side note I arrived early this morning and Dr Adams met me in the parking lot himself to caution me about possible ice conditions on walkway. That is beyond the call of duty. Dr Adams and staff, thanks again.

I was referred to Dr. Adams by my regular dentist Richard Godfrey for a dental implant. He and his staff are very professional and very knowledgeable. I called to make an appointment and it just so happened that they had a cancellation that same day so I went in. Dr. Adams explained to me in detail what is involved so that anyone could understand. He did an extraction, bone graft and stitched it up on the same day. I'm looking forward to getting the implant done although it will take several months which is normal. I would highly recommend this practice.

Let me start by saying I don't like to have any kind of dental surgery.. I'm a woose!!!I have been dealing with a fractured tooth since early October. I was referred to,Dr. Adam's as a new patient , with my first appointment scheduled for 11/17. The office called me yesterday morning to see if I could come in at noon. Everyone was so considerate and caring. After doing a CT Scan, Dr. Adam's evaluated my dental problem and recommended tooth extraction with subsequent dental implant. He offered to do the extraction, bone graft and closing surgical area with stitches, yesterday. He was very gentle and explained everything before, during and after the procedure. Strange to say I enjoyed the procedure, but I did!!! I would highly recommend Dr. Adam's and staff for your next dental surgery. Thanks to all of you.. Gail Lamm
