I would not slice my wrist open and even attempt to go into your emergency room. You have the [PROFANITY] hospital that I've ever dealt with, with the exception of the neurosurgery clinic, which I give high praises to.

Between the nurse and the neurosurgeon and the entire neurology team, I am extremely satisfied with the UAMS neurology program. You have saved my life not once, not twice, but on THREE different occasions. I can't say enough good things about you. From Dr. Sasaki-Adams, to [NAME] in Speech Therapy(who was my therapist in 2017 and 2023 and who I trusted enough to tell her of my suicidal thoughts so she could put me with your physciatric team), all the way down the chain to the tech's like [NAME]. I'm scared to mention names because I'll leave somebody out, but other than the one nurse who was just filling in from another department one night, I received top notch treatment and care. You really did save my life and I'll always be grateful to each and every one of you.

We were unable to have the mri on this visit after traveling from northeast Arkansas due to [PATIENT] being on a ventilator. He was on a ventilator every other time he had an mri at UAMS. Very inconvenient error in communication.

Scary surgery in my eyes. The Sasaki-Adams explained and put me and mother at ease. When I her notes in my chart she said it was a pleasure to meet me and my mother and that really shows she is a caring and compassionate doctors that care for us.
