Dr Paydak wrote out instructions for me then the medical student went over each one while Doctor listened and interjected his comments when necessary.

The Resident was amazing, super concerned on my past history, was very detailed in all questions he asked and took his time while listening to me while I gave him my feedback on my issues. Dr. Paydak is Hands down the Best cardiologist there is. Always concerned for me as well as called to get me in earlier so I didn't have to wait. Will see no one else

I had some concerns I discussed with the resident. He really took the time to listen. When the Doctor came in he seemed rushed, and did not really address my concerns. This is an unusual experience at UAMS for me.
