This doctor is completely incompetent...He had all my medical records, told me he didn't care what those doctors had to say...Insisted that I had bladder cancer without any tests. Gynecological issues when I had a hysterectomy. Said I had no intestinal issues even though I don't poop for 9 to 11 days at a time...asked him what I was yo do about it since long last of medicine I'm taking doesn't work and he told me to manually taking the poop out...I was absolutely disgusted and left your building knowing I would never trust UAMS with my medical care again...Thank you for your time [NAME]

The biggest issue was the LACK of cleanliness in restrooms, waiting areas, and dining areas. Those areas were very unclean
