UAMS Medical Center

I have Meige syndrome and I had gotten to the point where I couldn't swallow. The Urgent care I went to evaluated me and sent me to UAMS after calling my specialist in the movement disorder clinic. Upon arrival, the ER took me straight back with no waiting. After forming a team just for me and my condition, they began explaining how they would proceed. I was made comfortable to wait for a room. Within 36 hours I had a surgical procedure to place a feeding tube. All went well and came home the following Wednesday. I only have good things to say about this hospital and every staff member, doctor, and even the chaplain. At times it seems that they were slow to respond, but I realized the hospital is under staffed and were all working above and beyond. Thank you, UAMS. I would encourage all th

My doctor was outstanding and took care of my immediate problem. It seems to be healing quickly and she will follow up when we get more results. Most of the nurses were really outstanding and nice but I got one today that was not quite so nice to put it mildly. All nurses should maintain professionalism and remain friendly and open to helping even if they have a large load. One frankly told me that she had a lot of people and they were shorthanded but she would help all she could lol. I told her I have not heard that since I was at the Memphis hospital. This hospital I would have given a five to had all nurses had a good attitude but one bad apple kind of spoils that. What the real crux of the matter is is that they are not used to people not doing what they say when they say jump. America

i waited in that damn waiting room for 9 whole hours!!!! The triage nurses had the damn audacity to have an attitude because i’m needing to see a dr!! how many staff do yall have in the back working 2? yall are neglecting patients!!! St vincent’s wld never!! Do Not come here!!! Ever they will let u die in the waiting room!! i’m a nurse trust i’ve seen it!! rating 0.00001

I recently had a 3 night stay at UAMS due to having a heart attack. I cannot say enough nice things about the whole experience. My ICU day nurse Kendall and night nurse Brandon were amazing, so kind and patient and helped me to feel calm. Every single person I came in contact with, from the Drs. to the food delivery people, were courteous if not downright cheerful. I have never experienced such a pleasant hospital stay given the circumstances. When the EMT's asked me which hospital I wanted to go to, I am very thankful to have said UAMS.

1st to 2nd worse hospital experience of my life. Had a bullet wound and they did surgery a day or two before and expected me to walk and do pt with a 5mg hydrocodone in my body and a Tylenol. Do not go here what ever u do go to Baptist. And my mother is a nurse so I tried to be the sweetest as possible but them not listening to me 4-5 days straight I couldn’t even talk to the doctor or nurse I said just get me outta here I walked so far in crutches and in pain. No one communicates so when you say there’s a problem you gotta explain to 5 different people not including the nurse the same thing over and over again.
