[NURSE] was very helpful and made the experience comfortable. I was experiencing a dizzy spell and she recognized this immediately and procured a wheelchair. After the CT Scan she took me to my car so I would not be late for my next appointment. Turning the CTscan she talked to me to releave my anxiety.

I have seen a lot of Doctors in my time, Dr Muesse goes above and beyond. The care he provides, communication with me that I haven't seen since I was a child and Doctors made house calls. He is just an outstanding Doctor, UAMS is lucky to have him.

Dr. Muesse was very thorough in his explanation of test results and answered all of my questions. He showed me the scan and explained what he was seeing. All of my concerns were addressed and Dr. Was kind and caring. I would not hesitate at all recommending Dr. Muesse to others. He is an excellent physician.
