Thanks to the Dr.s, nurses, aides, dietary techs(very friendly), environmental services and transporters(also very friendly) as well as all the techs doing the CT's, MRI and ultrasounds, all very professional.
I hate that my life has gotten to the point that I am spending extended stays in hospital but the folks at UAMS helped make this one more bearable.
UAMS sucks! You can be dieing in pain and they'd just let you lay there and die. They don't care abouts there patience.
My mom has a heart attack and I have to say..ICU staff was great especially Matt! He was so nice and helped mom not to panic, talked to us like a human beings and not dummy s! Thanks for taking care of mom..once we were moved to a room, our RN RESHUNER (FB/Float Pool) was amazing! She cared so much! Talked to mom and made her feel welcome and taken care of!! Thank you so much for your kindness..hopefully we don t have to come back but if we do we are asking for you Reshuner..stay blessed!
Very well cared for with lots of attention by the kidney transplant team. Very impressed with cleanliness and attention to details.
My friends are at UAMS right now. they were in a vehicle accident. An one of them has still not been seen yet. An the other is in a room waiting on a MRI and she don't even have a call button she can push if she needs something. Is this the way you treat everyone that comes in for treatment after an accident? It's sad, just plain sad. What kind of message are you sending to people? Are you there to help the injured and sick or just your pocket books?
I was a visitor to the ER on 11/06/2017 due to an auto accident where I was hit head on by another vehicle! I was totally mistreated by the attending staff and I had complained of a concussion, I have had 6, I know the symptoms of one, but the attending staff defused me an mri or a cat scan, but instead decided to give me an ekg while the LRPD stood outside the room and talked abt how they were gonna get me for dui by subpoena of my records! With that being said, I will be filing a formal complaint with the medical board and a lawsuit is forthcoming for UAMS and the LRPD!
Right hand doesn't know what left hand is doing! The worst doctor nurse communication i have ever seen in a hospital. Too many doctors coming in and out giving us different information then nurse comes in with completely different orders. Just who is in charge????
24 weeks pregnant aand I went in around 8pm. Waited all the way until 1 in the morning for our results of what was going on with me and we got nothing. Staff was extremely rude and doctor took his time getting back with us. Asked for something to eat and they sent us to the down stairs food court when they were supposed to provide something for me. Ended up leaving And it took the doctor 5 minutes to get our discharge papers. Never found out if anything was wrong but I'm assuming not. He was much more alert when we were ready to go. Will be changing hospitals. Very slow and horrible staff.
Dr. Klimburg, Dr Makhoul, Infusion 1 and 4 nurses, Gift shop, snack bar in the Rockefeller building (bundt cakes!!), Dr. Eric Wright, the BEST nurse practitioner, Rachel Lyle... ALL the very best!
Worse hospital in the world! If you want to die then I suggest this place. Everyone employed there is rude and don't care
They are so willing to help with any and every thing you need. Customer service is wonderdful
My experience as a family member of a patient ,
First let me say" Thank You " to the nurses and techs, that worked very hard to care for the patients!
Unfortunately what I experienced on the 9th Floor, this was the exception not the rule.
Many times it would take two,three or more to accomplish a task ie,changing pain med in "PAC pump" E.G. tube,starting/changing "IV" locations..
A lot of lot inexperience working with the equipment and time management skills were seriously lacking, which led to the unnecessary delays for the patients ,and the staff being stressed to out...
My family has received nothing but loving and outstanding health care from all departments. I would highly recommend them.
My adult son became very ill, his blood pressure was shooting thru the roof, I took him to Baptist Little Rock, they kept him almost a week, but he didn't have medical insurance so they gave him some blood pressure pills and sent him home, thank God I was the one who picked him up, twenty minutes later his BP jumped up so high the blood vessels in his eyes burst and I called 911,thank God the voice on the other end was a friend of ours and he told me not to wait for the ambulance to get him to UAMS as fast and safely as possible. We barely made it in the door and he was having a heart attack! The team got to work fast and within 3 days found out he has a very rare kidney disease. I'm so thankfulfor everyone there, they treated us very well and if not for them, I'm afraid to say this, but iI don't think my son would've lived. Thank you!
If I could rate this hospital less than a 1 star I would ! My grandmother called 5 times to check on my auntie ! Every time she called different people would get on the phone and also she was put on hold for a long time every time she called ! It was always an excuse . They are very rude !
The nurses & Drs on the 9th floor are Absolutely amazing!!! We were there in June and my husband had a complete laryngectomy - they were all so caring and so attentive!!! Thanks to Dr Tulanay, my husband is cancer free and alive!!! There are no words to express our gratitude!!
Love the nurses attitude wonderful entertainment for the patients
The nurses and doctors in recovery are rude and don't care about the people. Neither does Marcus L Stephen's. MD resident. He was on call and very rude towards me and my wife and my wife had just had her 7th brain surgery. But the nurses on H8 floor are very nice and respectfull and take great care of there patience.
My mother was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in early October. They have been on the ball the whole time. Been nice, respectful, helpful, and have just gone above and beyond to get her taken care of. If you are able to come her, do it. It's worth it! We drive from Searcy, Arkansas and I will never take her to white county again.
UAMS is wonderful. I have had my share of admissions along with many other family members. UAMS is a great hospital and has served my entire family very well. This is from PCP, ER, Cancer Institute, outpatient, Inpatient, ICU and many other areas. I appreciate UAMS and it dedication of staff and physicians for all my family's care. I could not imagine going to any other hospital for my care. Thank you UAMS
I would give them 0 stars if I could. Do NOT have a child here. They almost let my daughter die. They didn't care. They treated me like I was a bother. My daughter was injured and could have permanent damage because of their negligence.
Unorganized office staff that is borderline incompetent--too big and needs to be reorganized bad--good luck getting to the right place--Mess of a Heck!
This has got to be one of the nastiest hospitals I have ever seen!!!! Housekeeping needs to get there act together and clean not just refresh a room !!!! The staff is somewhat friendly !!!
The care for the patient is poor, they need to improve everything, they need more professionalism and ethics.
In regards to the neurosurgeon or spine clinic at UAMS: I hope the way that Dr. Pait treated me today isn't they way he would treat his own family. To have such disregard to a patient's need for care is less than what is expected in my eyes of the medical field. The medical field is where we as people turn to for guidance and direction to better our health, wellness, and ability to promote the return to the most normal activities of our daily living. Dr. Pait stated, "It's not my job to find someone that performs the alternative methods aside from surgery". Team collaboration is where it all begins to help find the best care plan and least invasive procedure for the most optimistic outcome. You have failed, in my opinion, of caring for and listening to your patient.
Medical care here is excellent, but the receptionist need to work on their attitude
My dad had brain surgery march 2014 by Dr. Day. We went to several hospitals in little rock all who told my dad different things like it was inoperable or it wasn't benign or the brain surgery would be 9 hours long. Dr. Day did micro brain surgery that lasted I believe 3-4 hours. My dad did fine and the UAMS doctors he saw were amazing. My mom went two weeks ago because she had just been diagnosed with MS. She was scheduled to see Dr. Archer who was on vacation but they never cancelled the apt so she sat in the room for 3 hours with a resident who didnt seem to know what she was doing. Then an ophthalmologist came in with more residents and they spent another 30 minutes looking at her eyes and not even telling us much. Won't be going back to them, no help whatsoever.
I came into the Er about 8:30am...I have a drain tube coming out of my liver that keeps leaking around the incission. I have been WAITING on a dr to replace it for 6 1/2 hours!!!! I also have a 3hour drive home where it is not on a major hwy. ...just my mom and myself...2 ladies!!! I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOSPITAL!! I have nothing but bad experiences !!!!
This is the best hospital I have been in my whole life!!! The staff is the most coolest and sweetest people I have ever meet. The Doctors have been for me and answered my every question. I know god had a reason to send me here so my son Eli will get the best care
Waited here for 5 hours before being seen. Then they made me wait another hour and a half before the actual doctor came into my room. Horrible service. I don't recommend this hospital to anyone. This is more of a waiting room than an emergency.
I can't speak to the entire facility, but I am a patient of Dr. Caris T. Fitzgerald and she is one of the finest and most caring physicians i have had. She takes the time to explain what she thinks and why she thinks it. Extremely courteous and receptive to courtesy, she does not rush patients or act like she has more important things to do. Physicians are busy, no question, but you'll never know it at Dr. Fitzgerald's clinic!
This had to be the worse er experience ever. The bedside manner by the Dr and nurse was horrible. I repeated my symptoms 3 times. I left the hospital feeling worse than I did before I came.My nurse was not very clean either,he took out my IV needle and left it on the floor. I will never go back.
I'm getting great service there I'm a disabled vet and they work real well with John McClellan VA Hospital
The ER was horrible. It took three hours to get out of the waiting room when there due to concerns about complications from post operative procedure after having a 45 lb animal jump on the incision sites and cause significant abnormal responses from the spinal cord stimulator. The doctors acted like they had never heard or seen a spinal cord stimulator before and the nurse was rude and acted like I was there drug seeking when my sole reason for being there was to make sure nothing was wrong with my spinal cord stimulator. 6 hours total, it was a nightmare, poor patient care and really biased triage practices going on.
They have an amazing team of doctors there. Treated me very well and surgery went excellent. Staff and nurses are very friendly. Great hospital!
My hubby had surgery for skin cancer here .The whole experience was a nightmare for him and myself. We were told that his surgery would take aprox. 3 to 4 hrs by 3 people .Well they lie, lie ,lie. Bring a lunch folks bring a tent , charge your lap top, bring your phone charger ! Don"t check out of your hotel.Arrived at 6 :am as instructed.He didn't get out of surgery until 7:pm that night Then an hr.in recovery .I told them that we got dropped off this morning and was assured that he would be sent home w/ enough pain meds .until we were able to get his scripts filled the next day. We had no immediate access to our car.The staff in the recovery room were extremely rude.Seemed as if they were rushing him out .He woke up in extreme pain and disoriented I expressed concern about taking him out in the state that he was in and was told he's all yours now .I was handed scripts.I asked for the few pain meds that I was promised to get us by until morning ( I can't drive at night) and then was asked who ever told me that was wrong ( a R.N that said she noted that on his chart ) and that the hospital pharmacy just closed there in the hospital.I had to wait for my hubby for 14 hrs .Had I known that I would have stayed at the hotel in comfort until he get out of surgery.I was able to keep my room at la Quinta ( great people there ). They were kind enough to retrieve us from the hospital and out of kindness the driver also drove thru Walgreens and waited for us to get my scripts filled.
Currently having the worst experience at UAMS. I haven t got to see my baby yet after having an emergency c section at 1 in the morning, they moved me to a room that is incredibly tiny (which I could deal with) but it s also 75 degrees and the AC does not work. I have been in this room 2 hrs and the temperature has only increased. My face is flushed from the heat so I have cold towels on my face and legs but I still can t get rest. Dr. Ryan Strebeck informed me that this isn t a prison and I could leave if I wanted. He had his arms crossed and was rudest medical professional I ve ever witnessed. I can t believe this is happening.
Was in ICU for 3 days the care I received was good nurses and Drs was great...
They treat you with respect. There is very good medical personnel here
I had the absolute worst expirence here. Honestly GO SOME WHERE ELSE! Save yourself the stress. Very disorganized staff and no proper communication (Medical professional to patient). The students treat you more so like a science expirenment and the staff act like you are insignificant or annoying.
I was admitted with a diaphragmatic hernia. I had surgery to repair it. From my Dr. Steliga and Dr. Watson to the x-ray techs I received excellent care. Of course the food was hospital food and l had no appetite because of the pain. I was really impressed with care I received!
I have a rare brain condition, I was referred to UAMS but my PCP which I was super excited! This is a teaching hospital so surely they can give me the help I need! WRONG!!! I have definitely learned to read reviews! This was the worst experience I have ever had and after traveling back and forth for a year you would think I would have learned, I was obviously desperate and needed the help! I have never met such rude, incompetent people! I have never been treat and talked to in such an unprofessional manner!! Please read the reviews before you put your life in the hands
By far my worst experience ever!!! Rude nurses, filthy rooms, and inadequate care. I hate this hospital and everyone that works here.
Horrible hospital and bad service. Everyone is slow there and doesn t want to help the patients.
My visit especially was to the dentist. Can you get a cleaning, x-rays, etc. for $ 40 is with the students but they do a good job, I recommend them. Also, at the end they evaluate them. take care that what I had already finished and pay much more .. So for me they do a better job here !!
I just walked out. I have a blood disease and in recent weeks, my labs have progressively gotten worse. My immune system is pretty much shot. My kidneys have started leaking large amounts of protein, my blood pressure is completely uncontrollable and I feel absolutely awful. I work in healthcare myself and i am literally this close to catching one bad cold and it turning into an fatal infection. Understandably, my pcp called me after getting my latest labs and told me to go straight to the er at uams due to the specialists they have there. Like I'm really sick, I could be dead within a year. So I get there, explain the situation. Triage nurse won't even let me sit in the waiting room because my wbc is so low so I'm prone to catch anything. But the Doctor basically says you LOOK fine, but I'll take some urine. I'm literally getting worse everyday and he says I look fine/ take some urine. After two hours, no one had even given me a cup to pee in so I left in tears. My life means nothing apparently. I see my pcp again this morning and will just let her know that uams didn't find my DEADLY blood disease as important and dire as her. Exactly why I don't see help the worse my condition gets because honestly, no one gives a f***. Thanks uams and dr. Wilson, for making me realize that I am ready to die.
My dad was in the middle of having a heart attack and he was complaining about chest pains and they couldn't have cared less acting like it was no big deal. He had to stop 4 times on the drive home and died in his bed that night. They don't care about their patients let my father die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am completely heartbroken and I'm beyond angry!!!
They took good care of me during my pregnancy when i was too sick to care for myself!
Maybe the Government dose care, it seems UAMS dose. GREAT SITE!
Thought it was the best place to carry my wife who had lymphoma. Everything started out great. After chemo they done a bone marrow on her when we thought she was to weak too. She got where all they could do was give her fluids. We decided to go home and come back every few days. We did this for several months and she seemed better. But her stomach had to be drained every 2 1/2 weeks. She got weak one day and fell so I rushed her to the emergency room at the hospital. The next night her sister come to visit her and we were all happy that she felt good. She was in ICU the next day and they said she was going to a room as soon as they had one available. We left and at 3 in the morning we got a call saying I needed to hurry back up there. When I got there they said in the ICU unit that she had threw up in her respirator and it had gone down in her lungs. They had tied her hands up where she couldn t get it off. Why they did that they we weren t told. We could see that she had been with out oxygen and had brain damage. She could no longer talk or respond to us. They had the nerve then to say that she was going to die anyway. After I got through telling them what I thought they got in a huddle and started talking about us. Here we were by her bed side and people started walking back looking at us. I said something to the young doctor about it and he said , well we talk about everybody. Told him to get his ass up and leave. I knew then that she was going to die for no reason. They acted like they needed her out of that room. Had some girl there we called the lady of death. Kept coming in the room saying that she was going to die anyway. We left before I was hauled off to jail. Never in my life had I seen anything like it. She died about 3 that morning before I could get to her. Just 4 days earlier she was ok. I give it 2 stars because everyone else in the hospital had done a great job and was nice as could be. What ever you or anybody else does I beg you please if you re loved one has to go to the ICU unit get them out of there as fast as you can. Heard they were in bad financial trouble and wondered if they just wanted the bed space. You need more info please text me. I was there for over a year.
