It's not over yet. She said that the staff would call today to set up a surgery apt. So far, that hasn't happened. My experience with UAMS is that I will need to follow up. So we'll see.

Dr. Rook is a fantastic doctor of whom I have total confidence! She is professional, knowledgable and thorough; yet she is, also, caring and compassionate about her patients and her treatment of them! I did have to wait an unusually long time in the examining room (1 and 1/2 hours), so I had to rate that question low; BUT in her defense, it WAS a crazy and busy Friday the [DATE]!! :/ When all was said and done, she was worth the wait and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing strabismus surgery! She's the BEST!

I was there for 3 1/2 hours from my appointment. Sitting back in the patient's room staring at the walls. Too many people were scheduled and the student nurse kept going over and over the test question her ability. This took up a lot of my time it was unnecessary

The staff and doctors. I was extremely well knowledgeable of my case and work very closely with me and were very focused on all aspects of our procedures and everything and especially my doctor who has a terrific insight into patients and Friedmans and so forth I can't say enough about all of them especially the doctor. Thank you.
