If you're thinking about getting your medical cannabis card but maybe you're a little reluctant to do so, for whatever reason, don't be. I'm a retired firefighter and I was apprehensive. DON'T BE APPREHENSIVE! Dr. Dawn and RVA Telecare are amazing! I had a few questions regarding the process and I really don't think I waited more than ten minutes for a response. The appointment was done via a tele session and the doctor is friendly and made me feel very at ease. You can really tell that she has passion for what she does and that she genuinely cares. After our tele-visit, I again had questions with the process. And again she was very prompt in her responses and even called me to chat when I requested her to do so. I realize the years of prohibition and demonization of this medicine may make some reluctant to seek to get a doctor's recommendation to use medical cannabis. Don't be reluctant. Dr. Dawn will answer all of your questions and make you feel completely comfortable during your visit. And you can do it from the comfort of your home! I'm glad I chose Dr. Dawn. I feel like I've made a new friend and an advocate for my needs regarding pain. I fractured some bones in my neck in 2015 and suffer from pain from time to time and opioids or anti-inflammatory drugs are not an option for me. I prefer the natural route and I'm so happy the state of Virginia is now offering me this option. I'm also glad I found Dr. Dawn! Rock on Dr. Dawn! read more

Dr. Adams was awesome! She takes time to really understand your situation and what you are seeking cannabis treatment for. I included my primary doctor and the meds I'm currently on and she was very knowledgeable about them and helped me understand what I could replace with cannabis treatment. I've been on so many pills throughout my life because of anxiety, depression and sleep problems it will be a great relief to cut most of them out and replace with a more natural treatment. The best part of all, she helps by walking you through step by step the process of submitting your approved application to the pharmaceutical board. That alone was a huge relief and makes the whole process very simple. Considering a lot people seeking this type of treatment have anxiety, this was a big plus for me. I highly recommend Dr. Adams if you aren't computer savvy, get frustrated and anxious easily or just want the process to be as simple and professional as possible. read more

My experience with Dr. Adams was fantastic. She took the time to explain the options in utilizing cannabis medically in detail, offered tips, assisted me with all paperwork to submit my application and provided a detailed email with instructions for completing the process. I was finished with the entire process within minutes once I opened the email. Would highly recommend her, and her services, should your health conditions dictate seeking options that support a better quality of life. Learning about the endocannabinoid system and the potential for relief from devastating symptoms and disease progression provided me with hope, and Dr. Adams helped me enormously in this experience. read more

i was REALLY NERVOUS about the initial exam, and dreading a mountain of forms & paperwork ((for vdh etc)). it was very easy talking to dr adams! she explained that treatment would likely help several of my medical problems, but might not help with one other problem. (so she's not a snake oil salesman. if treatment might not help your problem -- or wont help -- she'll tell you.) she explained the registration process -- and she did all of the paperwork for me!..(the only thing i had to do was email the documents to state of virginia -- that's it!) i wish i'd made my appointment a LOT sooner. i feel silly now -- there was no reason to be nervous. not at all. read more

My appointment with Dr. Dawn Adams was incredible! She was very professional and kind.

I had a on line Tele-med appoint yesterday with Dr. Adams. The video connection was about average but very workable. Dr. Adams was great from making sure we were able to see and talk effectively on the video call thru the whole appointment. She asked great questions, listen very well and gave great feedback. She even helped with an off site web registration, walking me thru every line of the registration even though it was a different site and not part of the RVA site. I would highly recommend RVA Telecare. Great service, great Doctors and very pleasant experience at a reasonable cost. Thanks for the help and support Dr. Adams read more

Dawn is so helpful and easy to talk to! Not only did she help me through the process of certification but she provided me with additional information pretaining to my health and my life. It was nice having someone that understands and not feel judged for wanting to turn to cannabis to help with health issues. Some of the information she provided me with is information to help my PCP understand how medical marijuana can help me.
