Dr. Van Adamson started his career in the United States Air Force after graduation from Case Western School of Medicine. He completed a residency in internal medicine while in San Antonio at Wilford Hall Ambulatory Care Center. He returned to San Antonio for a three-year intensive cardiovascular medicine training fellowship at The San Antonio Uniformed Services Health Education Consortium (SAUSHEC).
Dr. Adamson graduated from his Cardiology Fellowship with Level II certification in Echocardiography, Cardiac Catheterization, Nuclear Cardiology, Cardiac CT. During his military career, he was stationed at 1st Fighter Wing Hospital, Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Virginia.
He was a Staff Invasive Cardiologist at Wright Patterson AFB. He was also Director of Cardiac and Vascular Imaging, along with being the Director of the Cardiovascular Clinic. While there at Wright Patterson he obtained Board Certification in Echo, Cardiac CT, Vascular Interpretation, Nuclear Cardiology, and General Cardiology, which placed him in the top 1% of all cardiologists across the US.
The drive to help heart patients began when Dr. Adamson was a medical student in Cleveland, Ohio. He was impressed by the ability of cardiologists to relieve symptoms and restore quality of life to their patients through medical procedures as well as lifestyle interventions.
Later during his military deployment, he saw first-hand how the cardiologist with whom he was serving would administer life-saving care in the field. He applied to his cardiology fellowship in 2010, and had an opportunity to train with leaders in the field of preventive and diagnostic cardiology. Dr. Adamson applies those formative experiences to his patient-centered style of practice.
