Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Adlam was patient with all of my questions and thorough in his explanations. He put a logical plan in place to find the root cause of the problems.

Cardiologist Physician
It was my first appointment with Doctor Adlam. My former Cardiologist had retired and she referred me to Doctor Adlam. I had an EKG and everything was fine.

Dr. Adlam saw me on time and was very good at explaining things clearly. He was respectful and straightforward. I really appreciated his manner and ability to explain what I know are very complicated medical procedures in a way that I could understand. I know that I will get good care with Dr Adlam.

I was a virtual "walk-in" patient...no appointment. I knew I was in a seriously compromised heart condition. Dr. Adlam put me in the Express Lane for a triple by-pass within hours. There is no doubt Dr. Adlam and his team saved my life.
