The nurses, Physicians, OT, and Speech were very polite and respectful of my Mother’s needs.

Everyone was kind and professional. I was treated well and with respect. I have nothing but good things to say about UAMS.

Every staff member I came in contact was extremely nice to me and my family. I want give a special thank you to the nurse in the MRI room for being patient with me. I’m extremely claustrophobic and she helped me through the process so much. Special thank you to nurse Britney on nurse U. Robinson for everything they did for me while under their care. Also thank you to the neurology team for making me feel comfortable with understanding my diagnosis and care after discharge.

The staff was amazing, I would definitely recommend UAMS

The nurses, each one of them that I had while I was there we’re all very excellent, and overall it was definitely a 10.

The nurses were exceptional and caring. They quickly addressed our needs and if they didn’t have the answer, they were great about finding resources for us to find an answer. We can’t brag on the nurses enough! They made a really difficult time for our family the best it could be.
