Oh how the cments of him lying giving wrong diagnosis and medication and then he sends you home and the hospital starts looking for you and he denies everything.

He gave me the wrong medication and after I was revived the he simply disappeared.

Later when I challenged his negligence and told the hospital I am taking my issues to the health department This evil quack wrote a letter to main roads and said I had a seizure and I should lose my car licence for a year

Finally the proof of this clowns lies and defianancies are in the fact if you try and get an appointment with any other neurologist it takes mothers this guy will see u virtually straight away
Just don't bother with this dented dwarf

This "Doctor" possesses no compassion whatsoever and is only to quick to dismiss the concerns of a patient.
Only too happy to take the fee but ecstatic to dismiss the patient.
A horrible & upsetting experience that I wish I could have avoided.

Dr Adam’s was extremely compassionate, kind, caring and supportive throughout my treatment of severe idiopathic facial palsy. He not only was extraordinarily knowledgeable, he was understanding and kind throughout all of the pain that I experienced. I would recommend him time and time again.

Unfortunately I had a similar experience to the review below. Within 20 minutes, he did a very succinct examination ie holding finger up to test eye movement and reflexes of knees feet arms on the bed; said I was 'unique' and couldn't or couldn't be bothered saying much more. After having to be pro-active and plugging for what could be done, he suggested an MRI... Asked about what an MRI entailed, his retort was "it's noisy". Asked what he would do in my situation, he said it was up to me... He also had some sort of cold as he sounded nasally but didn't bother to wear a mask even though he was in very close proximity to my face... In one word, I was disgusted! Unprofessional, incompetent, unfriendly and certainly did not have "Duty of Care" as his priority. Charged approx $370.00.

Its amazing reading these reviews are exactly what happened to me
He was rude and dismissive
Gave a totally wrong diagnosis and then tried to deny it
Lied in his report to a government agency and gave a totally different review to my go
He told me I could go home but when the hospital called my wife to see if she knew what had happened to me and see if she knew where I was she told them that Adams told me I could go he denied this despite my wife being there
Makes diagnosis without doing ANY tests to confirm his opinion
So people stay away
And think about this point if he is such a top specialist How can you ring his office to make an appointment and have your choice of times 2 days later.
The man is a disgrace and for those of you who gave him a good review I strongly think your only previous medical dealings have been with a vet or a gypsy fortune teller

Dismissive and inattentive. Fails to provide adequate answers. Too busy to study MRI details and then reports inaccurately to GP. Didn't realise the consult was recorded. Definitley needs to retire.

Dr Adams is one of the most thorough and professional specialist I have meet. He goes beyond the norm and seeks input from multiple fields when assessing your prognosis and care plan. He is articulate in explaining medico lingo in a way patients can understand. He also has empathy and compassion when needing to give no so good news to patients. He answers your questions wherever he can and always follows up. I feel proud to say he is my doctor and in 33 years post serious MVA with spinal injuries I need a doctor that can handle a patient with multiple co-morbidities. Any patient would feel fortunate to have him as their specialist Sue
