My husband and I were very pleased with Dr Paydek. I wish every time I've visited a medical professional at UAMS, I had the same experience that I had with Dr Paydek. Not only was his bedside manner exemplary; he was knowledgeable about what I'm going through. It would be great if Dr Paydek could train all the student doctors at UAMS. He made it clear that I will be heard by him.
