Dr. Alaref is an excellent doctor and I was incredibly lucky to find him. He saved my life, did five stents on me last year and has been incredibly on top of my care throughout this year. I trust him implicitly and we are very, very lucky to have him here in Arkansas and at UAMS. Thank you so much. Bye-bye.
