I made the decision to move my care here. I am comfortable with Dr Obie. I feel the Geriatric Center offers the health care I need. My only concern is they appear to be short on doctors specializing in Geriatrics. I need to see Dr Obie in 3 months but I could not get a follow-up appt till [DATE].

Everyone most helpful. The nurse took extra time to listen to my depression and I appreciated that so much. The doctor is excellent and very thorough. Always pleased with UAMS.
