Doctor Rook and her staff are the absolute BEST eye specialists in the medical business. UAMS Children's Hospital are very fortunate to have her on staff. Doctor Rook is GREAT. [PHI] I have had ten doctors treating me for various ailments, and Dr. Rook is the absolute best.

My treatment from the receptionists to the Technicians and Doctors was far above excellent., it was because of my eye problem that I was not able to get an appointment as soon as I would have liked, however things worked out very good and I will have surgery July 8. Thank you for your concern and excellent care.

Doctor Rook, [NAME] and their staff are excellent. I had a stroke at 60 years of age which left me with double vision. Doctor Rook has operated on my left eye twice eliminating the horizontal and rotational elements of the double vision. She said with my condition the "numbers" are all good, but she could do more harm than good if she operates a third time to try and eliminate the vertical component of my double vision. So be it. I see Doctor Rook once a year now for an excellent check up. Please NEVER let her and her staff to leave Children's Hospital and UAMS.
