Dr. Askins is a very caring doctor, he listens to how I feel, assesses the situation, and gives any options available. We discuss the options and go with what's best for the situation. A doctor that listens is very important, some patients need that more than anything. My health problems can't yet be treated or solved and listening helps me more than anything.

Dr Adkins is an amazing doctor....even though he is a lefty and cant use gel pens due to earing the ink....I don't hold that against him....lol... He has an amazing bedside manner and takes time to explain and figure out medicine that works best for me.....Takes time with his patients and reguardless situation he doesn't judge me and feel comfortable speaking with him about anything ... He really makes patients feel like family and not like just another patient for a paycheck...... DR. ADKINS, DONT CHANGE......YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!
