I found Dr Adams to be a total waste of my time and money. I had a tumour in my back and pain down my leg to which he said that is not being caused by the tumour and asked me what i wanted to do? I suggested i get another MRI in six months to see if it has grown and he agreed. The tumour did grow and although benign, if i had not found another surgeon i would have been putting up with the pain for the rest of my life. I found a more helpful surgeon who removed the tumour and now the pain is gone.

If you want a real overview of the experience you’ll get, see all 1 star reviews which are deadly accurate as to what to expect. It is uncanny how similar they are to my experience yesterday. He may be a capable doctor, I don’t know, but as for the manner and communication do not expect any pleasantries such as ‘hello’ or ‘thank you goodbye” or any eye contact. I also copped loud sighs the entire time he was treating me followed by “all done, I’ll send the scans to xx tomorrow” then proceeds to take a phone call on his mobile and walks out. Very strange behaviour and I have low expectations when it comes to doctors and their manner.

Thought he was ok till he put me on wrong medication I was sort of allergic too. That's why went to him in first place to get better medication.. doesn't care and I have found a great Neurologist after many years and she cares...don't bother..

Very patient. Listened to everything I had to say. Answered my questions. Consults with colleagues when a complex like mine involving debilitating chronic pain and then rang me after consulting with colleagues. I felt that he genuinely cared about me and my health.

My experience with Dr Richard Adams was exceptional. He is patient and caring and obviously has an incredible depth of knowledge. I was quite concerned as to what my symptoms meant but Dr Adams did a thorough examination and took the time to explain complex medical information in a simple to comprehend way. At several points in the consultation he paused to ask if there was anything I’d like to let him know or if I had any questions. I walked out feeling thoroughly listened to and very reassured.
