Well, we brought up son [NAME] over there to get his, a nose swap for covid. So the doctor came out, he really didn't want to swap his nose. He just wanted to say that, he knew that he already had covid. So it's like, we don't know if he sent it off or what. But we hadn't heard from anyone, since [DATE]. About the test to know if [NAME] is negative or positive. So we'd like a call back at []. Thank you.

When I called UAMS to schedule an appointment, the lady I spoke with was extremely helpful and compassionate towards my concerns. I wanted my son to actually be seen/examined by a doctor and not just in the parking lot as seems to have become the protocol since COVID. Since he had already been tested and confirmed negative for COVID, she was concerned he not be tested again unnecessarily. I wanted my son to receive care as a patient and not just another potential COVID test. I understand measures must be taken to prevent the spread but also as a concerned parent I wanted my son to receive adequate care. I feel my needs were met and I am truly thankful to everyone from the appointment setter to Dr. Nix and his staff at the Fouke Family Center. This was our first experience with UAMS and it was a blessing. Thank you.

The staff is always courteous and friendly. They listen and help the best they can. I am usually able to control my asthma without having to come to the doctor but this time it was taking longer to control. It took a long time to get an appointment. I originally called and left a message at the appointment desk, when no one called me back I try to set up an appointment on the app. After about 3 or 4 days with no response, I left a message with the nurse triage. I then received a call from the nurse and she was able to get me a refill on my asthma pump and transferred me over to appointment desk to make an appointment which may have been another 5 days later. This has only happened one other time and that time I never received a call back. That instance I was dealing with heavy abnormal bleed with other complications that was lasting 2 to 3 weeks at a time.I was not comfortable with going to the hospital with COVID being rampant. It eventually stop but I never received a call back.

My visit went extremely well. The doctors on hand were extremely great day. They talked to me, explained things, discussed things, discussed the meds, went over my care plan and what I have to do when I got ready to go home, and also, we rescheduled me appointment for follow ups if I need it. So, I give them a 10; they did a great job. Thank you very much.
