    I had a 10am appointment - finally saw the Dr. at 1145. While I appreciate Doctors and the clinic is busy. A 1hr and 45minute wait is extreme. If this is now the norm, the clinic needs to adjust the scheduling of patients. My time is just as valuable as the doctors.

    The [MYELOMA] Clinic, Dr. Thanendrarajan, Dr. (INAUDIBLE), the best I've ever met. I wouldn't be here today, if it hadn't been for Dr. (INAUDIBLE), and Dr. Thanendrarajan working on me for [CONDITION]. They are the best, I rely on them 100%. UAMS is the best. I'm still going through treatment there for prostate. They are the best. Thank you. Bye-bye.

    I feel very comfortable with Dr. T as my doctor. He seemed very informative and he tells me everything about what's going on with my, with my case illness and he also is a compassionate doctor. And also I feel very comfortable with him. And he takes his time with you, he doesn't rush through, through the sessions also. I'm really happy with all of you at Medstaff. Thank you so much.

    I know for a fact that U.A.M.S. is the BEST place to go to for treatment of multiple myeloma. My nephew was diagnosed with MM a year before me. He went to a medical center [OUT OF STATE]. He received chem and one stem cell transplant. He never was in remission. I tried to get him to come to UAMS but he kept saying that he was taking the same medications that I was but, I told him that the medications I was on were maintenance drugs because I was in remission. He was receiving them to try and get him in remission!
