The NICU nurses and staff were absolute angels. They treated us like we were their family. They treated our daughter perfectly. They were truly genuine caring heroes. I’m very grateful for them and if we ever had a situation or anybody else had a situation like ours, I would definitely recommend UAMS NICU. Thank you.

I could not be more grateful for the UAMS staff of doctors and nurses who cared for my son around the clock. They are a world class bunch of professionals who always went above and beyond for me and my family.

Thank you for caring for my precious daughter! Thank you for being my support and advocate when I needed it on the endless days that I stayed by her side! Your team is amazing! Thank you for being our hero’s!

Nurse Troy was an exception nurse. He went above and beyond his duties. It’s actually the second time we’ve had him as our nurse. We had him as a nurse for our other child and he was wonderful. Dr. Peeples and the other doctors were phenomenal. I cannot brag on them enough for all the knowledge and everything that they did; giving us information and being so supportive and giving us the books that we needed. I just want to thank you all for your services, we greatly appreciated our NICU stay for our third child. We have 3 and all 3 have been in the NICU and we love UAMS. Thank you.
