My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

My goal as your private physician is to partner with you on a personalized plan for your total health: physical, mental, and spiritual. My expertise as a board certified internal medicine doctor is to diagnose and care for complicated illnesses and provide the medications needed to treat those illnesses. My passion is to find the risk factors for illnesses and help you prevent them before you need medicines and more serious care. As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, I can provide each patient the time, resources, and personalized care needed to achieve their individualized health goals. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices.

I have been practicing in my home town of Katy, Texas for more than 15 years. The local hospitals, Memorial Hermann Katy and Memorial Hermann Rehabilitation Hospital of Katy, are excellent facilities in which I continue to see my patients every day. My MDVIP-affiliated practice is located in the beautiful facility at the Katy Medical Complex on Kingsland Boulevard.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Adams

from Darrell in TX January 19, 2024 for J. Rick Adams, MD

When I got Covid, and as a result AFib, he immediately addressed the issue. The main thing I like about and can count on with Dr. Adams is his immediate addressing of issues with his wise counsel. While we cannot predict the future, I like his efforts to offer advice on overall better health.

Several years back, my husband and I were vacationing in Costa Rica when I got sick. We had gone grocery shopping and got back in time for dinner at the resort and I was so hungry. So not thinking, I got a salad which had been on the counter for, who knows, how long. After retiring that evening, I woke up so sick I felt like I could die. At about 3 am, I remembered that I had Dr. Adams… See more

Just the other day I was concerned about my Heart Rate so I texted him and he took time to reply.
I chose Dr. Adams when I moved to Katy, Texas looking for a Dr. I had good recommendations because he is my husbands Doctor. He makes you feel at ease and comfortable when you are in his office.

Unfortunately none of my illnesses come on slowly. It's usually immediate and pretty severe. I've had more times I've texted and called Dr. Adams than came in to his office. He's responded at night, weekends and holidays. I really feel bad when I have to contact him outside of office hours, but unfortunately that is the nature of my illnesses. He's always been… See more

I’d like to say Dr Adams is a caring Dr! I can text him when I’m starting on a downward spiral and he’s there to encourage me and help figure out things! He’s also a praying, faith filled man of God! Thank you Dr Adams!

Here's to you, (Katy's) Top Doc!...
Many thanks from my kids and better-half for taking such personalized care of this (once was) white-coat patient! Everyone in our family is grateful to have you a phone call or email away when this mom/honey needs help!

Please know you are genuinely appreciated...

Dear Dr. Adams.
How can I begin to thank you for the care and support you have provided not only me, but more importantly my parents. When I signed up for MDVIP, I anticipated having easier access to a doctor. You have certainly exceeded that expectation. Your availability and prompt responses make staying healthy so much easier. Thank you for for patiently explaining the answers to my… See more
