Dr. Brown has been very attentive to my needs, given my unusual vision issues. I can tell that she is doing everything she can to help me see clearly, suggesting specialized treatment I'd never heard of from anyone else and taking time to explain my vision problems to me. I really appreciate her interest and concern.

I love Dr. Brown. She is the sweetest and best! I have very problematic eyes and she does everything she can to try to make me see better. I think the lab has not been up to par in making my contacts the past couple of times... They must have gotten new people! I need extremely specialized contacts and the lab is going to have to get it right!

The nurse was excellent. She was very knowledgeable concerning discussion about my eyes. She also introduced her self. She kept cleaning her hands during different procedures. I was really comfortable with her.

The UAMS STAFF( Dr. Brown & nurses) was great! However, the resident that I had was terrible. I realize that they're all new as of July, but it was like this one hadn't ever seen a patient before me! She used the VERY BRIGHT LIGHT in my right eye for several minute's & would've continued if I hadn't stopped her ! It was extremely uncomfortable as well as not particularly good for your eye??
