Dr. Ventres has always treated me with serious care but also with pleasant humor. He is always concerned for my well-being and I trust him absolutely. I enjoy our visits and consider him a friend. The staff was totally effective and on their game. They all treated me like a valuable person who was worthy of their time, and that's a big deal to me! During my visit, I was engaged by a medical student. Her name escapes me now, but she was quite the professional and treated me with very much respect. Keep her if you can. I've never been happier with a medical facility than I am with UAMS Family Medical Clinic.

The physician must have been in a big hurry because he didn't perform what I would consider to be routine (checking ears, nose, throat) based on the symptoms.

The parking was confusing. I didn't know to ask for a parking ticket so I could get out.
