The doctors and nurses are amazing. But the front staff is very rude and unprofessional.

You cannot absolutely cannot get better care with then you will with Dr. Moreno he's not a not only a skilled, competent, excellent surgeon, but he's a great human being too. He takes the time to be concerned with you. He takes the time to respond to you. He takes the time to answer all of your questions and then to also to offer different things that can come out of your experience there. I have nothing but a high praises for Dr. Moreno for APRN Samantha Rose. Both of them have given me excellent care and I recommend UAMS for that excellent care. Thank you.

I was left in a room for over an hour without receiving any update when I might see the doctor Other than having my BP and weight checked (they did not check my pulse ox or temperature and I told them I had pneumonia) I did not see a nurse I had surgery a week prior and pneumonia and I believe I would not have been frustrated if at sometime a nurse had actually seen me and said that Dr Moreno was delayed and gave me some timeline Dr Moreno is great but patient care could be improved with better nursing You just don't put someone in a room and say someone will be with you shortly and leave them for an hour and a half

I cannot speak, highly enough of how great and much, how much trust I have in Dr. Moreno and his staff. I so very much appreciate them. And thank you for listening to my feedback.
