Because of the Covid 19/Omicron pandemic, my visit was not a personal visit to office but by telephone with my doctor, which was a perfect setting for the follow up visit in this case. All questions were answered to my satisfaction including a discussion on the latest information on pandemic concerns.

Dr wei was so very nice and really listened to all that I had to say and she answered any questions I had. It was so very nice to be treated by a doctor that did not make me feel as if she didn't have the time to listen to everything I had to say or that she had to rush on to the next person. She made me feel like my care and my comments were important and that I was the reason she was there. Thank you

Our state is extremely lucky to have this Donald Reynolds Center on Aging and Dr. Jeanne Wei in our UAMS family. Their outreach throughout the state is wonderful for all citizens. And specifically the buildings are laid out efficiently to grow the research needed in this field.

Provider was very thorough. They listened to my questions and answered them to my satisfaction. I did not feel rushed and I felt the doctor's genuine concern. It was a good experience.
