My experience was overall the most amazing experience ever . My doctors and the specialty teams assured and made plans around my care . Carefully explained and evaluated and made me feel secure and safe with each and every decision they made. I really appreciate UAMS

All of my nurses were fantastic! Shannon went out of her way do make sure my pain was controlled and I was comfortable. She also helped tremendously with our baby. I’d recommend this floor to anyone.

I really liked the kindness of all the doctors, the nurses treated me very well.

I was transferred from another hospital for an extended stay as a high risk pregnancy. It was an extremely stressful and scary experience for my husband and I. The nursing staff and doctors were so sweet and understanding with all our thousands of questions. Making sure we understood the answers before answering the next. The calm, confidence of the staff was extremely reassuring throughout my stay. The nursing staff were so nice and friendly always making sure that neither myself or my husband needed anything before leaving the room. The staff made the month long stay actually enjoyable all things considered. I would recommend UAMS every single time. Out of me three kids this pregnancy was the most stressful and hardest with the early hospital stay but the staff made it seem like it was no big deal, it was extremely comforting and reassuring. Every single nurse and doctor throughout all Antepartum, Labor and Delivery, and perinatal, and NICU, wings needs a raise no matter what they get paid it’s not enough.

I absolutely loved my nurses! They did an amazing job!

Everyone was great and I appreciate everyone taking, care me my family and me.

Patient comments.
