Dr Bumpass seemed burned out and had no suggestions on how to treat my scoliosis as one side of gulteus has atrophied making me feel one lef shorter. With all his knowledge, I was disappointed, and had heard sterling reports of him. . He was worse than some other lesser credentialed doctors . [NAME] is spot on, what a gem. Being a medical professional, I hope this Isn't a true pattern.

He's very respectful and I honor him for his work with me and my friend who has him as a doctor as well. I hope he doesn't ever leave the hospital or the office until he retires ha ha he is the only one who knows how to do a lot of rare cases in Arkansas. So he deserves a reward! :)

One thing I really appreciated was that they did a complete physical history on me. Which I believe is essential to treating a patient.
