I became a patient of Dr. J. Rick Adams’ practice in 2005, many years before he became part of the MDVIP Group. I joined the MDVIP group only because of Dr. Adams. He and Dodi Blalock are like part of my family. They are my health and emotional lifeline. They have supported me though my stressful job, family loses and my chronic health issues. I know that my heath needs will be promptly… See more
I recently read an article about a new cancer test which detected many cancers but was not paid for by Medicare. I called Dr. Adams to see if he knew about it. He knew about had research it, explained it to me and said we would discuss it at my upcoming yearly physical. I am constantly amazed that even though he has a busy practice he returns my texts very promptly. I truly feel that I have… See more
Over two decades ago, I was in an auto accident. It was a serious accident, and luckily no one was injured. The emergency personnel checked me over, including taking my blood pressure. My reading was sky-high. So much so, that they wanted to take me to the hospital. I declined and decided to seek a primary physician. I went to a local medical center and saw one of their in-house doctors.… See more
After years of cancer treatment medications my body was worn out. I had back and joint pain, shortness of breath, osteoporosis, and was just out of shape. And because I’d had so many strong medications in the past, I was looking to get off or stay off of as many meds as possible. Dr. Adams listened, understood, and helped me find supplements in addition to eating a healthy diet that have… See more
Sorry I'm a bit late, but my husband, Gene is in home hospice and I've had my hands full lately, as you can imagine. Dr Rick Adams has been my primary care physician for over 20 years and he has also been Gene's PCP for about 10 years now. We are in our 80s and 90s and have had plenty of experience with a lot of good doctors over the years. That fact in itself is a testimony,… See more
My wife and I have several “unique” issues. Its great to have someone working through the treatment and monitoring the results. The quick answers to our questions is now just expected. It’s easy to get use to such care. We are very happy with Dr Adams and MDVIP.
I went to see Dr. Rick Adams after my neighbor recommended him. I had had a CAT scan to detect a bout of diverticulitis, and they found a mass on my liver. It was very scary and a bunch of tests, and thankfully it was just a fatty tumor (not cancer). And in being so upset with the medical system and the way it’s come to be with my primary care physician I was looking for alternatives. My… See more
I have been seeing DR Adams at least over 20 years now. My children also went to see him when they were young. He is the best DR I have ever had, he cares about his patient's overall health. He follows up with you and always there to answer questions. He has great way of talking to his patients and designing specific care for that patient. He has personal experiences in his life that have… See more
