Dr. McAdams is a great doctor. He’s knowledgeable, skilled, and takes the time to answer every question without making you feel rushed. He’s clearly up to date on post-surgery care and is thoughtful about the recovery process.

I had ACL reconstruction with a patellar graft and felt well supported from start to finish. Dr. McAdams was kind, patient, and honest whenever I had concerns.

I came back for my 6-week in-person follow-up and I’m doing well, walking almost normally thanks to the care plan and the PT he recommended. Really appreciate the attention and support throughout recovery. Highly recommend, especially if you want to return to an active lifestyle.

Dr. McAdams always seems very willing to answer all questions and talk about different possible scenarios based on my particular lifestyle… We all have different ideas of what a good outcome might be… And that is based on the particulars of the demands on our lives…
I am a 65-year-old woman, but I am not retired… One would assume but that is just not my scenario
I am impressed that he is willing to consider what my expectations of a good result might be

Dr. McAdam patiently listened to both my wife and me about our knee issues. He explained multiple treatment options clearly and educated us on which treatments are actually effective. His thorough approach and willingness to help us understand our options gave us confidence in our treatment plans. Highly recommend!

I cannot thank Dr. McAdam and his team enough for everything that they have done for me. I tore my MPFL in October and Dr. McAdam and his team have been there for me every step of the way till surgery. I just had surgery yesterday and everything is doing great so far. Not a lot of swelling and pretty much no pain right now. I want to thank Dr. McAdam and his team for everything. Special shout out to his assistant Sam. She put up with me calling multiple times with a lot of questions haha she is AMAZING, kind, and the best! Thank you to everyone who helped me through this process on Dr. McAdams team.
