The only issue I had was when the medical assistant took my blood pressure using a machine. It showed high the first time and then about 100/38 the second two times. When the actual nurse came in and did a manual blood pressure, it was about 122/80 in both arms, which is my normal. Everything else was awesome at this visit, which was my first to UAMS

[NAME] is a godsend! I had been trying to schedule with Dr. Rude since Nov 2023. Every time I called I was told I couldn't schedule because there was no referral. I called Tricare and confirmed the referral was faxed and received by UAMS multiple times. I made one more attempt and finally asked for the patient advocate. I contacted the clinic again and got [NAME] . Her customer service and willingness to assist me was much appreciated. It was then discovered that the previous fax numbers were incorrect. Again, [NAME] 's excellent customer service should be rewarded.
