Hi, I'm Adam Gorman. I'm one of the general pediatricians at Comer Children's Hospital. I'm one of the primary care doctors taking care of all of children's needs from the day they're born until they reach their early 20s.
I've always been fascinated with science and new ideas ever since I was a young child. When I was really little, I actually wanted to be a crane operator on the moon for a little while, but then I realized that I was afraid of heights and outer space so it wasn't quite a good fit for me.
Pediatrics is such an amazing field to go into because you're constantly challenged by new ideas, and you get to interact with some amazing new people, and you're always feel like you're on the cutting edge of all the new things. And that's always been something that's really drawn me to this career.
Comer and UChicago is just such a special place in general. I knew ever since I had my first conversations with some of the faculty here that they're just the most inviting and friendly and passionate physicians that I would ever dream of working with. And I knew that it was a great culture and a community that I was excited to be a part of.
My philosophy of care is probably to look at each child as an individual and to look at all of their unique backgrounds and their unique interests, their unique aspirations and really tailor the care for them towards their unique personalities. Building that type of close-knit relationship with both the patients and their families to really deliver the best health outcomes for them going forward.

Our list of accepted insurance providers is subject to change at any time. You should contact your insurance company to confirm UChicago Medicine participates in their network before scheduling your appointment. If you have questions regarding your insurance benefits at UChicago Medicine, please contact our financial counseling team at OPSFinancialCounseling@uchospitals.edu.
Some of our physicians and health professionals collaborate with external pharmaceutical, medical device, or other medical related entities to develop new treatments and products to improve clinical outcomes for patients. In some instances, the physician has ownership interests in the external entity and/or is compensated for advising or speaking about the entity’s products or treatments. These payments may include compensation for consulting and speaking engagements, equity, and/or royalties for products invented by our physicians. To assure objectivity and integrity in patient care, UChicago Medicine requires all physicians and health professionals to report their relationships and financial interests with external entities on an annual basis. This information is used to review relationships and transactions that might give rise to potential financial conflicts of interest, and when considered to be significant a management plan to mitigate any biases is created.
If you are a patient at UChicago Medicine and would like more information about your physician’s external relationships, please talk with your physician. You may also visit the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Open Payments website at https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/ . CMS Open Payments is a national disclosure program that promotes a more transparent and accountable health care system. It houses a publicly accessible database of payments that reporting entities, including drug and medical device companies, make to covered recipients like physicians and hospitals.
Information in the CMS Open Payments database could potentially contain inaccurately reported and out of date payment information. All information is open to personal interpretation, if there are questions about the data, patients and their advocates should speak directly to their health care provider for a better understanding.
