Dr Adams, and his whole office team, are a fantastic bunch of people! We were referred to this practice because my son needed a lot of dental work done, and was having a tough time with our regular dentist because of fear (hes 6). Dr Adams was wonderful. Terrific bedside manner, patient, calm, kind and knowledgeable. He is fantastic with children, you can tell hes a very loving father of his own children. I cant say enough great things about this dentist!! The admin staff were also super helpful, and went above and beyond to help our family with various things before we left after

I was absolutely in awe of the loving and sweet nature the entire staff took, from beginning to end, in the care of my Daughter Veda. From arrival to the recovery room, to the consultation with Dr. Adam, it was a golden experience.....and Bridgette was an angel to deal with.

I have known Dr. Andrew Adams for almost 15 years and cannot say enough great things about him. He goes above and beyond in his training and is an incredible asset to the dental community of Hamilton. He sees those in need and treats every child as if it was his own. I will never hesitate to have Dr. Adams work on my own children.
