Comment

I brought my elderly ([AGE]) parents (who have been patients for years) to have their toenails cut. They have foot fungus and they need help cutting their thick toenails. We walked in with my mother's toes bleeding due to her toenails cutting into other toes, and she had tried to cut them herself with wirecutters and had cut her toe. The student doctor was overwhelmed at the sight and did not listen. He told me to put them on drugs that take months to work, but he did not even look at the list of meds they are taking, and those antifungal meds are contraindicated for some meds they take. He even told me I should cut their toenails! I said, "That's why we came in here, so you will cut their toenails. I have tried and cannot!" Then he told me to take them to a podiatrist. I said Ok they need a recommendation for a podiatrist who works with elderly patients. He left the room and came back and said, "I don't know who, but I'll get you a name." Of course we have never heard from him at all. The nurse was patient and helpful but left the room. The "doctor" was frightened and too inexperienced to cope with the foot fungus, did not listen, left the room repeatedly, was obviously overwhelmed and said he had never seen anything like that before. He looked at my father first, one foot. He did not look at my mother who was bleeding. He did not clean my mother's toes or examine her self-inflicted injury or the bleeding. He would not get close to her. At the end of the visit, he gave me two bandaids for my mothers bleeding toes which I put on her myself. This visit was absolutely a waste of their money, a very confusing experience for both my parents (whom I had told we were coming to UAMS to get their toenails cut.) Honestly I could not be more disappointed in this experience. This was not medical care. This was a complete failure for them and we came there seeking immediate help.

After I spoke with someone on the customer service side of the Art Kids facility and was given the number to (INAUDIBLE) they took care of the appointment right away and they were absolutely wonderful, very nice facility and I would use them again as my child's primary care facility or primary care physicians in the future.

The nurse was unfriendly and never said please or thank you. She came across as somewhat argumentative
