​

Dr. Adams has been practicing medicine for over 20 years. He earned a PhD in Organic Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, did his medical residency at the University of Wisconsin, and a Sports Medicine Fellowship at the Maine Medical Center with Dr. William Dexter. After his training his family moved to Madison, Wisconsin where he worked as a Primary Care Sports Medicine physician focusing on musculoskeletal and exercise-related conditions. 

​

In 2016, Dr. Adams, his wife, their youngest son, their dog and cat moved from Wisconsin to Bozeman.  He enjoys riding the bike trails, skiing with his son, and hiking.  Some of his photography can be seen on the walls of the clinic.

Why I do what I do: Musculoskeletal (MSK) injury is a major barrier to our pursuing our physical activity goals and maintaining our health. My purpose is to successfully treat MSK conditions to not only decrease pain and improve quality of life, but also to return my patients to full physical activity.

Erin, Medical Assistant 

Erin is a native of Montana, born and raised in Livingston. She studied social work at the University of Montana in Missoula where she also trained as a Medical Assistant at St. Patrick Hospital. After UM, she returned to Livingston to continue her studies in social work at Montana State University.

In 2013, she and her family moved to Bozeman where she joined Dr. Adams to provide a team approach to patient care. When not at the clinic helping patients, Erin is a licensed Property Manager, helping our community with its housing needs.

She and her husband have 3 daughters and a furry son named Dodger. In their free time her family prefer to be outside camping, rafting, or watching baseball, and Erin is particularly fond of sitting on the sidelines at their daughters' volleyball games.

Why I do what I do: I love patient care and the connections I make in medicine. Injury and illness can cause a lot of anxiety and fear in patients. My job is to make you feel welcome, at ease and comfortable with your care plan while walking alongside you on your road to recovery. Every day, I look forward to being a part of the Bozeman Sports Medicine team. If you have been injured or are experiencing pain during activity, I’d love to meet you and be in your corner!
