Dr. Adams’ care philosophy, “I am passionate about teaching. During my residency, I was awarded the Teacher of the Year award. I educate my patients about the injuries they have sustained and their rights as injured workers. I also inform them about the extensive resources available to support their recovery and return to work. I believe that the healthcare team includes the patient. An informed and active participant in their own care is essential for achieving better health outcomes.”
