    More concerned about returning to see Dr [NAME]. Stated they do not see other patients in this office of other doctors! Told her Dr [NAME] did not wish to see me anymore. She firmly stated I will talk to him about that. Guess I do not have a dr in this department anymore. Lots of politics in this department! Instead of being assessed for my condition, I was Informed at least 4 times about why she will not see me. I have left this office now 2 times in tears due to the way I was treated and talked to by the physicians. Sad that university of Arkansas is representative of this !

    Dr. Rude has excellent bedside manner. She is thorough and spends the appreciate amount of time explaining evidence-based medical information pertinent to the issue(s)/disease(s) at large. You can tell that she enjoys what she does. I recommend her and her team to any patient needing hepatologic care.
