Best hospital I’ve ever used. The Drs and nurses the CNA’S housekeeping. All were wonderful. Once I couldn’t find where I supposed to go; but, wonderful people assist me. I love UAMS

I had and have great quality of experience with UAMS. GREAT DOCTORS, NURSES and SOCIAL WORKERS.

The daytime nurse that I had and I think her name was Caitlin, was absolutely wonderful. I felt she went way out and beyond her duty to take care of a beachy old man. Thank you.

Terry our nurse on 9th floor was top notch. He was knowledgeable and helpful. Made my surgery less awful

The nurses were top notch. From surgery preop to discharge. Please tell everyone of them thank you and I appreciate it. I never wanted for anything. I wish I was rich and could reward them all. Thank y’all for making me feel good after my life altering surgery. Y’all are the best! 

UAMS HAS THE BEST DOCTORS AND NURSES. It was like home away from home. Everyone down to the transporters showed hospitality.

Bendon was a great nurse. All the nurses were capable and friendly. I appreciate there help and care.

Patient comments.
