Good experience. All the doctors and nurses were very nice and attentive.Good experience. All the doctors and nurses were very nice and attentive.

I Really appreciate it because the nurses treated me very well, EXCELLENT. It’s like I said before, I lived in [another state] the hospitals do not treat you the way UAMS does, quickly and with so much patience. There’s so much professionalism. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

My midwife, Abby, was incredible. I loved everything about the midwife program and think it should be expanded so more women can utilize it.

Doctor Young is the best doctor to have she is so sweet, and I highly recommend her to anyone!! I loved my nurses; they were the best and helped me so much; I would come back to [UAMS] if I had to choose a hospital to be at.

The staff were always so kind and helpful. It made a very vulnerable time in my life feel secure and bearable.

My midwife was awesome too. Everyone was so sweet and thoughtful.

Overall great experience. Nurse Ashli, nurse Kimberly, midwife Shalyn, and midwife Joni made all the difference!

Honestly, we had great care for myself and my son. Everyone is super nice and took great care of us.

I loved every single one of the doctors and nurses that treated me and my baby. Will be back to UAMS if we ever have another baby.

Ashlynn was a fantastic nurse! Thank you for your care!

All my nurses were amazing this time around and I really appreciate them for all their help.

Patient comments.
