I really like the staff at this clinic now. They are all very nice and treat You with respect. They Don't talk down to You like the old staff did, that moved with Dr. Crouch. They were down right disrespectful. One of the nurses even accused me of being a drug addict because I take Tramadol B.I.D for my lymphedema & RA pain. I have been in the medical profession for over 38 years, before i had to retire due to cancer & chronic lymphedema. The staff now are Outstanding and Dr. Pothuganti was Awesome.

I had a bad cough and they would not let me in because they thought I might have covid. I still have a bad cough, I just wish somebody would have listened to my lungs.

The whole experience felt extremely rushed and the doctor hardly listened to me and dismissed most of my concerns. She didn't give me clear answers and I had to ask for clarification several times, and I still don't really understand what her perspective was. It felt like she had already made up her mind about the problem before I'd even finished my sentence. All my experiences with UAMS have been like this. They don't listen, they don't want to prescribe even the most basic medicine and they make up weird excuses for it. They just tell you to exercise and and drink water and take OTC medicine, as if I hadn't tried that already. It doesn't matter how detailed I am, how much I advocate for myself, or how much I try to explain things clearly and directly. It felt so dehumanizing to tell a doctor that my fatigue and pain are so bad I can't get out of bed sometimes, and have her just ignore me. She didn't even ask about my recent ER visit, or address all the concerns I wrote down on the paper that day. She said she would refer me to a specialist for my condition, and then just gave me a sheet of paper with a list of specialists and said "see which one takes your insurance." To top it all off, I had been trying to have this appointment for months and the doctor canceled on me the same day two separate times with no explanation, and the second time the only available appointment was a month away. So I waited months for an appointment that was totally unproductive. Just a waste of time and resources for everyone. From comparing my experiences with other patients it seems like mine is not a unique situation. I'm not belligerent or rude or uncooperative. I don't know why I get treated this way. I'm absolutely fed up with UAMS and I'm not going back if I can help it.

This is the first time in two years (a pregnancy included) that I have felt so sure of and at peace after a doctor's visit. This clinic is amazing and Doctor Pothuganti was kind and helpful. The front desk was amazing.

Very disappointed that there are no doctors at UAMS, who I have been under the care of after treatment of Lymphoma, from 4 years ago, who are willing to write any therapeutic medicines for Covid 19. Specifically, early treatment once tested positive, prescribing Ivermectin, hydroxychloriquin, Azithromicin, etc.... Also, doctors should be making sure that patients are taking Vit. C, D, and zinc. These therapeutics need to be taken when someone first comes down with the virus, not, after they are sick enough to be hospitalized. It is a crime what is happening to so many people who have died, because they were never offered treatments before getting very sick. There are studies out there that are being ignored. I plead with UAMS to give consideration and stand up for what is right. There are so many good researches at UAMS, and this should be front and center of discussion. Doctors everywhere need to do their own research and find out more about these therapeutics, and how they are saving lives when taken within the first week of coming down with this virus.

The location of my provider changed and I was not informed. So I had to race from one office to another. My doctor rushed me through my appointment. She did not care about me, just the time.
