The care I have received at UAMS has resulted in me changing care providers. The reason is not due to current bad providers. The reason is because of my numerous health issues and UAMS provides full health care for all issues. At my age, I need this type of care.

Dr. Mounsey was terrific. I felt comfortable about my condition and prognosis, much more so than before this appointment. My only regret is that I probably won't need to see him in the near future.
