About

Dr. Adams was born and raised in a small town in Western Kentucky called Murray, Kentucky.  He completed his undergraduate degree at the local university and then proceeded to work as a paramedic and ER nurse for two years before he started medical school at LMU-DCOM, in Harrogate, Tennessee.

In medical school, Dr. Adams had a great interest in ultrasound. He has seen how effective it can be as a quick diagnostic modality, as well as its helpfulness for procedures. He’s excited to hear more about the point of care ultrasound training opportunities at NGMC.

In his spare time, Dr. Adams enjoys hiking, kayak fishing, and deer hunting. He will be spending as much time kayaking on Lake Lanier as possible!

“NGMC is an amazing program, with real ability to connect with patients while still having a lot of pathology at the hospital and program.”

 

What are your goals during residency training?

I’m pursuing a career as an Interventional Cardiologist.
