Dr. McAdam was wonderful! He is very friendly and informative and makes sure that all of your questions are answered. This was my first time with this type of injury so the extra attention is greatly appreciated. He suggested (and gave) a cortisone shot which made a world of difference to me and saved me the hassle of having an unnecessary surgery since I'll be having a total knee in few years anyways. Great, honest and compassionate doc!

I was recently referred to Dr. McAdam for an ankle injury and wanted to share some thoughts about my experience at OPA. From the moment I called to schedule an appointment the entire staff was professional, courteous and very responsive. I was able to get in to see Dr. McAdam on very short notice, and he took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns – making sure that I understood all of the issues surrounding my injury. After having an MRI (which was scheduled for the very next day) I was contacted the following morning by Dr. McAdam who had already reviewed the results. While much of the health care field is mired in delays, a lack of professionalism, and subpar communication (often bordering on arrogance), OPA has set the bar very high. I will not hesitate to refer my friends and family to Dr. McAdam and OPA. Thank you for taking the time to do things the right way.

I am so grateful I was recommended to Dr. McAdam. He was cheerful, competent, and kind. I went in for an MRI to see if I had a rotator cuff tear. I was nervous about the possible results. Two hours after my appointment Dr. McAdam left a message on my phone regarding the results. I had an excellent outcome and thankful I did not have to wait the entire weekend wondering if I needed surgery. He was so kind. All of the staff were great and competent. Thank you!

I am so thankful for finding Dr. McAdam to take care of my family’s orthopedic needs. I have a family of athletes and I will never use anyone else! He is amazing in his knowledge and also the way he handles every situation. Jenn Weiss is fantastic, too! She is a very knowledgeable PA-C and very friendly as well. I truly feel they would do everything in their power to produce the best outcome for each situation. Thank you so much.
