My experiences each time I have been to UAMS has been the best great team of doctors & nurses to them it might be just doing their job to me they have helped me through so much to saving my life to me when I was in situations with my health I was ready to give up on that hospital is the best I will forever be thankful & grateful from the bottom of my heart for the doctors & nurses there!

Nurses, housekeepers, nutrition, everyone was amazing

I was impressed with staff, nurses, and doctors. They were all friendly, respectful and courteous.

I wanted to comment on just how great my nurses, doctor, and resident doctors were. I don’t remember their names but they were always professional, nice, very thoughtful and thorough through the whole process. I was and am incredibly pleased with how my family and I were treated during my stay.

It was a good experience – as good as it could be lol I don’t like hospitals.

I had a good stay. Everything turned out good. Everybody was nice.

I appreciate the great bedside manner of all who worked there (even housekeeping)kindness and good spirit were both felt at all levels!

My room was by the nurses station. The first night was quiet and peaceful. The second night the poor nurses were very busy with call buttons going off a lot. The nurses apologized but I told them it was fine. I had surgery and was able to get up and down by myself. There were people who were more sick than I was. Phyllis, Carrie, and Kesha were the best. UAMS is a wonderful hospital and I would use this hospital again.

Excellent care from RN, Van was outstanding, compassionate and dedicated to her patients! She deserves the Daisy award!!
