We had great doctors and nurses I’m so thankful for the team we had to care for my daughter
Our baby was being taken care of, especially all the nurses in NICU. They are all so caring and compassionate. I am truly thankful to them for taking care of our baby during his stay in NICU and also, for all the doctors and all the therapies, occupational, physical therapies, speech therapies, physiotherapy. They are all engaged with my baby and we are really thankful for all the staff in NICU. Keep up the good work.
They were absolutely wonderful. I don’t think there could have been a better experience honestly. The nurses were so lovely and down to earth, it’s what a parent needs when we are frazzled and I like that a lot.
Most of our nurses were wonderful! Melissa, Jade, Macey, Kayla Harrington, and Cosby. Christina with PT was awesome too. We had a rough start to our stay but these nurses came in and made everything okay. I felt listened to and advocated for and felt comfortable knowing my son was in good hands when I was away caring for my other children.
The staff in the NICU were amazing. No one expects to have a child in the NICU, but if it had to happen I can’t imagine a better hospital for my child to be in. I was well informed, my child well cared for, and everyone was endlessly helpful and knowledgeable. My voice was heard, and I was included in important decisions for my child. The staff of this NICU have a heart for these babies and their families and it shows! Thank you for helping my baby grow and graduate the NICU, we are eternally grateful for your compassion and hard work.
I really appreciate the help of Nurse Robin Flint who took care of [NAME] and[NAME]. She’s very attentive of them and cares for them and helps us with all our worries and answers all our questions. Thank you so much.
I had some really great nurses during my stay but two nurses in particular, Gwen and Melody were the most amazing nurses and made my stay a little less sad, they were very sweet and always quick to make sure I had materials for my room and made sure I was well taken care of. Any patient who gets care from these wonderful nurses will be blessed!
The UAMS NICU team took excellent care of my child. I’m very happy with the care that we received and I’m confident in my child’s health.
I would like to say thank you and give a big Shout out to the team that took care of my baby girl [NAME], without you guys I wouldn’t have my rainbow baby.
