    My experience with Dr. Adams was the most honest and direct interaction that I have experienced since the beginning of my oral cancer treatment that began 2 years ago. I would highly recommend him to any patient who is in need of any extensive, complicated oral surgery. [NAME REMOVED]

    I am terrified about my upcoming surgery. But I feel Very Positive about the term that is going to take care of me. My only complaint is the lack of pain management. I am in Extreme Pain. But I feel he will take care of me as a surgeon, and do the best he can.
