I told him that I hurt but, he didn't seem concerned when I asked for pain medicine. So, he didn't give me a script!

Waited from 2:20 to 4:00 before I was seen by the MD. Way too long. Don't think I'll come back.

Dr. Obi is a fine doctor. He listens carefully and does not hurry with his patients.

Dr. Obi spent considerable time addressing my questions and concerns - from the serious to the mundane. It also seemed clear to me that he had reviewed my chart prior to my appointment. I left feeling very grateful that as I get older and have more medical issues, he will be willing to spend the time necessary to help me understand those issues and what can (and cannot) be done to resolve them. It was a very refreshing appointment.

Wait time to see DR is/was horrendous. Had to wait 50mins past scheduled appointment time before PCP was able to see me. Had a 6mo follow-up from wellness exam. Same thing happened 6mos ago. I'm certain others have same experiences. Could be a deterrent to providing good health care and services !!

Dr. Obami is great but his appointment schedule is 6 months out although they will overbook him to maintain my quarterly visits. There appears to be little movement in what I really need which is a thorough vetting of my urology issue including little or no communication between my PCP and Dr. [NAME]. To my mind I am being warehoused by UAMS. Same day appointments seem to be more fiction than real. I am disappointed in my care.

I brought my mother in for this appointment and she was somewhat hesitant but on leaving the appointment we both had a sense of relief as we felt that for the first time in the months we've been trying to get answers - we saw a doctor that not only listened but really heard what we were saying. Mom no longer has reservations about being seen there.

I've heard nothing from them although Dr Obie said he would send me to a hemotologist and order a scan of my head. Also have a diatician call me.

The communication level was not good at all. I needed to see a doctor, not talk on and go over my medical history. That's what it seemed like, that he was just reading notes... questions that I answered years ago when I first enter the clinic to see [OTHER PROVIDER]. The visit was not good at all.

There is nothing like seeing Dr Obi in the office, however, he was just as thorough with me by phone, as he demonstrates in office!!

My nurse, Kenneth and the doctor I saw were very respectful and showed concern for my problems. I would vote for Kenneth to have a raise!! I have never had a nurse in all my years that made me feel so comfortable. Honestly I always feel a little apprehensive when I have a male nurse; however, I have never felt so listened to and respected. He explained everything he did and ask permission when doing my EKG. He is a keeper!

overall i am very pleased but sometimes i feel another MD on staff would be helpful as occasionally it has been imposssible to get an appointment when the doc requested as they were fully booked and this is out of their control

My doctor was great and his nurse. He referred me to another doctor for shots to be given and as of today I haven't heard from them. I went to the doctor that was to give the shots In September and he was to schedule it at that time but he never did:
