His clinical interests encompass knee and hip reconstruction / replacement and revision joint replacement with a focus on minimally invasive and technology driven techniques including robotic assisted joint replacement surgery. Dr. Adams’ blue-collar upbringing, working in construction/carpentry alongside his father in his youth, has instilled in him a strong work ethic and meticulous attention to detail. While performing these types of activities his dad used to make the comment “Build it like you are building the world’s finest piano…” This philosophy has seamlessly translated into his surgical practice where precision and dedication to detail are paramount to each joint replacement he performs.
When not working in his orthopedic practice Dr. Adams can be found spending time with his wife and three children. In his free time, you will most likely find him wake surfing on Saguaro Lake, traveling on new adventures, or golfing some of the amazing courses Arizona has to offer.
