The staff was very helpful and caring.

Never been to a hospital where everyone was concern and caring. The doctors and the nurses were fantastic, it was just a nice experience.

We had a wonderful, caring experience at the UAMS Emergency Room. It’s always scary and stressful to have to go to an emergency room but the staff made us feel cared for and comfortable.  The intern doctor that helped my mother was the most caring I’ve ever encountered.  All of the staff were amazing.  Thank you!

Very patient, concerned attitudes by each person who interacted with me.

Couldn’t ask for a better place to go for emergency care.  All personnel were very informative and explained medications thoroughly.

They always care for my needs.

Good service and very good attention
