About
Primary Specialties:

Pain Management
Patient-centered care is the foundation to Dr. Richard Adkins’ practice of medicine. “It is how I was trained and how I will always approach the provider-patient relationship,” he said.
Dr. Adkins brings more than 30 years of experience in the pain management and anesthesiology field to his work at the National Spine and Pain Centers. His previous work includes serving as a staff physician at pain treatment facilities in Tennessee, Florida, Illinois, and North Dakota.
While putting together individual treatment plans, Dr. Adkins focuses on a multi-modal approach with medication management being an important adjunct to the treatment of pain.
He was first drawn to the field of pain management and anesthesiology through his desire to form meaningful and therapeutic relationships with his patients. The connections and friendships continue to drive him in his work today.
When not seeing patients, Dr. Adkins likes to surf and spend time with his family.

More personal attention than I have had at other places. Attention to detail, head cover as well as gown during procedures. Stress ball offered to use during procedure. Excellent patient care
