Douglas Adams, MD, believes that all injuries and chronic conditions are uniquely different to each patient and it is therefore important to build a relationship of trust and understanding to help achieve the best possible outcome. He upholds that many conditions can be successfully treated with non-operative modalities and this should be the first priority in treatment. In cases where surgery is necessary, utilizing the best resources and applying the most advanced surgical techniques in a cost-conscious manner is paramount.

Dr. Adams received his medical degree at Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences: graduating in the top 10% of his class and received the honor of Alpha Omega Alpha membership. He completed his internship and residency programs at Madigan Army Medical Center and affiliated University of Washington hospital system. Additionally, he completed a Traveling Fellowship in Orthopedic Trauma Surgery at various sites including Harvard Medical School's Massachusetts General Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and Brigham and Women's Hospital.

Dr. Adams enjoyed a successful 16 year military career in the Air Force and Army receiving an honorable discharge as Lieutenant Colonel. During his time with the Armed Forces, he held the position of Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery at Fort Stewart, GA, Baghdad, Iraq, and Fort Carson, CO. He completed two combat deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq and provided humanitarian Orthopedic care through SIGN Fracture Care International organization.

Dr. Adams’ specialty training includes procedures for hip arthroscopy and hip preservation surgery, sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery, and robotic total joint replacement surgery. His additional specialties include treatment of: hip impingement, hip labral tears, hip arthritis, avascular necrosis, tears of the gluteus medius and minimus, hamstring tears, ligament injuries of the knee, cartilage injury, shoulder instability, rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, AC joint injuries, ankle instability, ankle cartilage injuries, fractures, and tendon/ligament ruptures.
