My experience was great with UAMS. All of the nurses and doctors always made sure to come in and check on me day and through the night. They all were respectful when they introduced themselves to me. Some nurses even made me laugh to make me feel better. Even though I was nervous, the procedure was a success Thanks to God and them. They all got the job done. I really appreciate all of them because I feel a lot better and I’m doing very well.

Excellent doctors and nurses. If it wasn’t for them I’d be dead!

All my nurses and doctors were very helpful! My RN Azzie was and absolute angel! And DR Hopkins was informative and honest! Really everyone was so wonderful!

Everyone was so nice and they all seemed to enjoy their jobs. The doctors are amazing, they explained everything to me, and how the process worked.

My dad received excellent care from every team we meant. We have no complaints during his stay.

Everyone was amazing.

My experience was good – doctors, nurses and staff were very attentive and kind. I have no complaints.

Special thanks to RN Theresa. 6th floor

Patient comments.
