Dawn W. Adams MD, MS

The most positive part of this experience for me was from the Nutritionist I saw. She was absolutely amazing and talked to me for about 25 minutes about me and my life. I asked questions and she followed up with me with information sheets and a message in the portal after the exam. The actual physician was in the room with me for maybe 3 minutes, and I understand that she's busy and I didn't have a lot of questions to ask her, but she gave no physical exam and it seemed like she was in a rush to get out of the room and see the next patient. I was kind of disappointed because that's not how she's been in the past and I really like her as a doctor.

While I've dealt with this chronic condition for years, I've never experienced any provider giving this amount of help & hope simply by listening to & working with me towards a solution. I'm so encouraged!

Joanna was absolutely amazing! She spent so much time going over all of my questions and followed up with me after my appointment. Joanna went above and beyond and I am so grateful!

Dr Adams was very thorough and attentive. I feel that she is invested in my health condition. Trying to make sure that my body is getting what it needs to survive; that my kidneys stay healthy and my hydration is at the proper levels. I really like her.

Dr Adams did a great job

Dr Adams is why I came to Vanderbilt. We live 2 hours away, but I would travel across the country to have the right doctor(s). This was my first time seeing her, but we have been so pleased with other doctors at Vanderbilt that we have seen for other issues. Dr Adams was very thorough and took time to listen, assess, provide a path forward, and answer every question I had. I recognize this approach leads to longer waiting time for patients due to more time with each patient, but this is worth the wait. I would wait as long as needed to receive this type of care, because I leave with confidence rather than leaving with a fast food approach that generates no confidence. So, thank you for your thorough approach!

Dr. Adams is very patient and very understanding. I am thankful to have her as my doctor.

I really enjoyed having a medical student as part of the appointment.

Dr.Adams and JoannaPearl were both wonderful. I am extremely pleased to have them treating me.
