The nurse was extremely helpful and explained everything and took care of all the issues I had. And then the doctors explained everything in a manner I could understand it and listened to what I had to say and answered all my questions and came up with a plan of care, good care.

Well, honestly, I live over 2 hours away from doctor and my appointment was at 1:30 and I did not go back till after 3:00. It makes it hard when I have to drive a good ways to be kept waiting that long. I understand things come up, however, maybe not schedule so many people on same day. Just my opinion.

The nurses and staff at UAMS transplant clinic are more like family than medical workers. They all know you by first and last name before you check in, they remember your situation with your family and personal events, they ask about them and they follow up! A lovely group of people. They also go out of their way to accommodate you if you're early..., or late.

When I went in to check in, there was a woman replacing the receptionist because she was on lunch and she told me she checked me in and she did not. And so it made me a little late for my appointment and I was not happy.
