Review for Dr. Adair

Dr. Adair did my ankle surgery and he was wonderful. He explained everything to me as to how the surgery will go and the timeline of what will happen post surgery. He has great bedside manners and he really cares about his patients and truly listens to what they are saying. I highly recommend him.
