I did have to wait almost an hour before the doctor came in the room to see me. But things like that happen sometimes.

Have been treated at UAMS for 21 years for [PHI] and have had the best care possible anywhere. Some of the finest Doctors and Nurses anywhere! UAMS has given me many quality years of life and I am very appreciative of all they have done! Older doctors are retiring and good younger doctors are going to where they are better paid and I was treated when the finest Doctors any where were at UAMS. Dr. Kent Westbrook, [NAMES]. I have personally seen many lives saved and quality of life given to many! Thanks to UAMS !!!
