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

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Adams
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
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
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
Dr Adams is quick to respond to our heat concerns with wise advice.
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
