Every one was very nice & understanding. I would definitely recommend UAMS for their health concerns. My Oncologist is the best ever, & I trust & have faith in him. Happy that he's my Dr.

We did see a nurse while we were there and everything went good with that and we have no problems with any of our visit that day.

Yes, I'm very pleased with all the doctors and nurses that. You have UMS and I just don't know how much better they could be. They they do very well... The only problem I've ever had is confusion on my appointments. With the my chart. I've had my chart wrong before that's the only thing I've ever had wrong. So that's the only that's the only problem I've ever had with with the doctors or the nurses or any tests or anything like that. I really appreciate what they do for me and they go out of their way to help me. They're probably going to end up saving my life so.

I have no complaints of my visit only one, when my husband and I entered the building we were checked in by 4 ladies or 4 people for the covid, they were rude, disrespectful and very mean other than that I have no complaints and loved the nurses, the front desk people and the doctor of course thank you so much for doing so well thank you.
