On My Chart in the notes written about my visit yesterday, there are "findings", which are included in the report, which were never checked on me! Falsely reported!

My experience was very good. Very helpful. It was my very first time going there. I had been going to [CITY] and it's quite a ways from where I live, but I would make the trip every time. Their resident I can't remember his name and Dr. Horta just really explained everything so well to me, and I get very anxious, and I was I felt calm. It was just a very good visit very explanatory. Thank you.

I was satisfied with Dr. Horta completely. She is wonderful so far. However, I waited for 2 hours, 2 hours for my appointment, and she didn't even know I was there. She had not received notification that I had even arrived. I don't know where the problem was, but I am very dissatisfied with that, and also the time before that I met with Dr. Horta, it was well over an hour wait. This, this does not work well whenever I'm a working professional.

The Physician is a credit to UAMS. The medical students were brilliant and very professional. The only other provider who is close to matching the care, empathy and knowledge were medical personnel at [FACILITY NAME] where I received care in 2007.
