About Dr. Lane

Clinical Biography

Dr. Lane grew up in Abilene, Texas and graduated from Rice University in Houston and from UT Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, in 1990. His Family Medicine residency training was in Tucson with another U of A, the University of Arizona.
His first two years after training, Dr. Lane practiced rural medicine including obstetrics in Eagle Lake, Texas. He then worked in the NASA area of Houston for 10 years. He and his family moved to New Zealand in 2005 where he practiced rural medicine at the Otaki Medical Centre for six years. There he gained Fellowship (similar to board certification) in the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners. Upon his return to the US in 2011, he was employed by Sparks Regional Medical Center at the Greenwood, AR Family Medical Clinic. Over the years, he has had several interesting locum tenens assignments, too: IHS in Arizona, a cruise ship in the Caribbean, and an HMO in Hawaii.
Dr. Lane joined the UAMS West Faculty in 2014. He has special interest in outpatient care, geriatric and nursing home care, medical assisted treatment of opiate use disorder, and responsible use of limited health care resources. I am proud that our residents are able to go straight into a wide variety of practice settings, from hospitalist to ED fellowship to full-spectrum outpatient family medicine.
Other interests include outdoor sports (canoeing, hiking, and sailing) and gardening. He and his wife of 30 years, Leah, have two grown children.

My new doctor is very nice and concerned about my well being. He called my house to see how I was doing after the booster shot and flu shot . Dr.Powers I think I understands me ,my last doctor was a female ( nothing wrong with that) but I feel more comfortable taking to a male about sex and the lack of it. There's things only males to males understand.

I told the doctor I wanted to be tested for strep throat. He told me know because I was around people with covid, so he automatically knew I had covid come to find out my covid test was negative, but my throat is, is disgusting with white puss. And every time I try to call and make an appointment, there is none so I had to go to Urgent Care. So no, I will not ever go to that stupid doctor again.
