After years of pain and going to several other clinics around town. Through sheer luck my wife got a referral to UAMS Health and Dr. Goree. He stayed with us and listened to my entire story the first appointment we had and had a plan of attack before I even left that day. Within the first year he got me into a very manageable state where I was able to start doing things again for myself around the house. I still manage pain but it’s nothing like it was before. I’m able to do things. I go shopping with my wife and and my daughter when I want to now. We take trips and I’m not worried about bringing a scooter or a cane because I know I can’t walk any kind of distance. Now I can kind of manage it. Yes, I still have some struggles but not the level of pain I was having that would just force me to basically go back to the hotel and go to bed. Reducing the pain you know through UAMS and the clinic and Dr. Goree. Just that reduction in pain has helped my personal life with my wife and my daughter. After years of dealing with extreme pain, thanks to UAMS Health I’m able to do things I physically never thought I would be able to do again.
