Dean R. Adams, MD, FACS
I am a board certified general and colorectal surgeon practicing in Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania. I specialize in minimally invasive bowel and hernia surgery and treatment of conditions of the colon rectum and anus.
My personal goal and mission is to provide patient centered care in the specialties of colorectal and general surgery. Each patient is unique and I endeavor to take the time to understand each patient’s problems and take a holistic approach tailored to each individual. Where appropriate, I take advantage of modern technology and state of the art techniques to enhance the quality of each patient’s healthcare and surgical encounter.
