Dr. Adams was attentive, she gave clear explanations of her recommendations and she didn't push products on me. Great experience. I'm looking forward to recommending her to family and friends.

Beautiful office with lots of services available. I had an issue setting an appointment on ZOCDOC and they STILL too my appointment. Dr. Adams is so sweet and extremely knowledgeable. Even gave me samples to try. This is a great place to patronize.

Awesome doctor....wait time can get lengthy though.
March 22, 2015Brandy B.Verified patient
She was very nice and seem knowledgeable,
but the wait time is absolutely ridiculous. I went twice and both times it was 2+ hour wait time. I will be finding a new dermatologist.
If time isn’t an issue for you, i would recommend her. But she is clearly is double/triple booking appointments which is unfair to the patients who have a tight schedule.

I was asked to move my appointment up by :30 minutes and then I waited over an hour and half to be seen for a :15 conversation. Avoid this practice!!!!!!!!

She was awesome and was very thorough.
More than 1 year agoKerri-ann L.Verified patient
I really liked her, she was friendly and asked a lot of questions. The the last doctor I went too, if you asked him questions he would just answer, what do you think, that is not what we go to the doctor for, we want them to help us. She knew what to say and how to solve the it. I will definitely recommend her to anyone who asks.
October 25, 2018Rita O.Verified patient
I had some difficulty using the computer (hand held ) to complete Medical history , family history,personal data. I have had problems using touch pads so I use a rubber tip pen. It took me much longer than usual to complete the paperwork, but is not an office problem.
I waited 10 minutes in the room and she was professional and put me at ease.
