Dr. Shirey is always very informative about my results and care strategy. She listens attentively to all my concerns. Also, her nurse Samantha has went above and beyond to get my medication problem resolved.

I felt that the identification process was over the top...particularly the first step. My eyes were dilated during my visit and I was given some the temporary dark glasses. Those were unwieldy, especially in combination with a face mask. I could not keep them in place. I use a walker making that even hard, because my hands are not free to hold them in place. I still have (and sometimes use) wrap-around temporary sunglasses with no ear pieces that I got from a prior provider....so much better!

I was supposed to have a CT scan, and went to the MRI department instead. The young lady in MRI gave us directions to CT in the main hospital. She was very helpful, very apologetic, and wanted to help us as best as possible. On our way to the main hospital we met several people who gave us other shortcuts to help us get there quicker also. Upon arrival in the ct/radiology department the receptionist was very polite, and kind. She had to sign in and sit down and wait to be called to the processed. We waited approximately 5 to 10 minutes until she called us. She then verified my information, and I also asked her about the contacts on my account. And she said that she would be able to swap the contacts on my account. So she took the time to swap the emergency contacts on my account. It was extremely nice of her to do so. Once I was completely processed I was then taken by a tech to the CT scan. The text were very nice and friendly, the young lady who helped me onto the CT machine, help to get me situated with a wedge underneath my knees, and a blanket from the warmer since I mentioned I was cold. As a whole, my experience was very good, and I would recommend UAMS to anyone for any type of health Care that they have that you AMS covers. It was a fantastic experience!
