There is so many changes happening in this office. When [PROVIDER] left UAMS my chart canceled my appointment. A month later I got a letter saying she was no longer at UAMS. Now Dr Westbrook is getting ready to leave and I now have a nurse. She seems nice. Since I've had breast cancer two times I think I really need a doctor. I also have other cancer history in my family.
