    Everything this was great except the wait to see the Dr. appointment was at [TIME] and I did not see the Dr until 2 hours later. This is the first time the wait has been over 30 minutes.

    Our experience was, as for the past 6 years, exceptional. We came to UAMS in trouble. I was diagnosed with [PHI] 6 years ago by my radiologist son-in-law. It was he, in Lafayette, La, who told us we needed to come to UAMS. We thought he was nuts until we did what he suggested-do our homework: read about the Myeloma Research Center at UAMS. We did. It took about 2 weeks to get the first appointment-because our local oncologist was sending my medical records and info to the wrong fax #. Once at UAMS, I have received life-saving care under Dr. Sharmilan Thanendrarajan and the amazing professionals who oversaw my treatment. I had 4 strenuous protocols at UAMS over much of the next year after back stabilization surgery performed by Dr. Pait and his doctors and nurses. The care, in hospital and out, has been extraordinary. And, life saving. Every individual who cared for me, every physician, nurse, social worker, nurse's aid, nutritional personnel, secretary, cleanup persons, all have provided care above and beyond my every hope or expectation. We received the exact same level of care and treatment we had come to expect on [DATE], for tests, and on [DATE], when Dr. T went over my test results and together, we have mapped a course of care for the next 6 months. If I had any concern, it was not with the staff. It seemed that there were only 2 rooms available at all appointment times for Dr. T to see a large number of patients. I assure you this observation was made only by me, and with no mention or complaint from any employee. I simply observed that treatment/conference rooms were confined to a smaller area than had been used on previous visits. If that observation is correct, there was a full compliment of care by Dr. T, by Donna, his nurse, the young woman who took my vitals and those working in a backup capacity so that we left with a typed review of the medical findings AND directions for continuing care on my return home to Central Louisiana for my local oncologist and his support team. In short, it was an amazing experience that my wife and I have come to expect from Dr. T and all of the support team at UAMS doing the needed tests, going over all test results and going home with an understanding of needed interim care for the next 6 months before we return to learn what the beast, MM, has in store for my future.

    I would prefer visual visit verses telephone only, for the Telemedicine.
