I feel Dr. Vural is a great doctor but he always seems very busy. I feel rushed when ever I see him. I am old and think at a much slower rate. Would like literature on my cancer. I plan on trying to learn how to use UAMS patient portal and going to library to obtain this info. ..for example what is the average progression of this cancer, different treatment options, palliative care ...

The doctor decided to refer me to another doctor as my cyst was not cancerous. There was no discussion at all. But the doctor that took my biopsey was very pleasant and allowed me to see the cyst.
