Comment

Dr. Jefferson was wonderful. She is very kind and considerate. She explained everything that was going to happen. She listened to my issues. When the test came back, she explained the results in a way I could understand. The individual that performed the skin test was courteous and respectful. She kept me up to date on what was going on. The MA that roomed me was the exact opposite. The individual did not introduce themselves, did not have a badge visible. When I asked about the badge they lifted up their shirt to show that it was attached to the pants. When I informed him of UAMS policy to have the badge visible at all times, they indicated that this was not their primary worksite. They did not ask me what arm I preferred for my blood pressure and by reaching for the wrong arm indicated that they had not done any chart review prior to rooming me. When I asked about this they again indicate that this was not their normal clinic. The MA came across as very rude and unconcerned about my safety and well-being.

Dr. Akilah Jefferson was very knowledgably and professional. She asked me what I expected from the visit and answered all my questions. She took the time to make sure I understood everything that went on during my appointment. I really appreciate that she checked my insurance to ensure what she prescribed was covered with my insurance as far as cost. She was outstanding with my care. I would highly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you Dr. Jefferson for making my allergy testing a good experience. [NAME]

Dr. Jefferson listened intently, validated my concerns, and ordered appropriate testing based on symptom presentation. Documentation in medical chart was thorough and accurate. This provider was an absolute gem. She is the kind of physician that healthcare professionals should be modeled after. I left the appointment with a sense of trust, validation, and great regard. Exceptional experience with all medical and office staff
