I literally had the scare of my life on Sunday. After waiting three + hours in the Baptist Health ER, we were told that my dad had a mass in his bladder. We were told that even though Dr. Adkins wasn't there, the attending doctor had already been in contact with Dr. Adkins. It didn't look good and they admitted him into the hospital.
The following day Dr. Adkins arrived. He was approachable, with good bedside manners. Why is that so hard to find lately?! This was my first experience with any Urologist or any urology issues, so I had a lot of questions. Dr. Adkins was never annoyed and throughly answered each question that I had. He explained that his schedule was full for the day, full of scheduled surgeries, but he was willing to work Dad's surgery in at the end of his day! So he took the call from the ER department the late night prior, and is now going to stay late to perform the procedure. I was so grateful, but still nervous at the severity and it was apparent that time was of the essence.
After the microscopic procedure, Dr. Adkins came out to the waiting room and explained that it was merely a blood clot. Not the tumor that we had prepared for. Literally. One. Of. The happiest days of my life. To say that my dad is my world, is an understatement. He was certainly in good hands with Dr. Adkins and I recommend him to anyone looking for a Urologist. Oh, I had more questions, sometimes asking several questions at once, I was so giddy... he was quick to answer all three of the questions without missing a beat or forgetting to move on to my next question. read more
