Susan Smithwick is the best APN I've ever seen. She's so kind, patient and knowledgeable. I am heartbroken she is leaving. Please find a way to keep her. Your clinic will suffer without her.

Susan the APN was wonderful with my aunt [NAME]. Very patient and very thorough exam. It was a wellness visit but my aunt had a severe bladder drop & infection. The student was thorough as well. The entire visit was good. We especially love having the convenience of lab draw here at IOA. After finishing lab we sat behind 5 other appointments waiting to be scheduled. staff were training (which I understand) but there comes a point where they need to use common sense and get customers caught up so we aren't waiting 30+ minutes just to schedule a f/u or next visit. Also we were sent to Outpatient for X-ray. It would be nice to have X-ray done at IOA. The ran service picked us up for van ride to OPC. The Van is NOT made for senior adults. This is very dangerous. Several times elderly could've be slung out of the seat. These services are ESSENTIAL but UAMS needs a smaller transport vehicle for them. Shorter steps and get closer to the building. Take a ride as an elderly patient on a walker and see for yourselves. Many patients couldn't walk from the street where the van had to drop them at Family Medical Ctr.
