Surgery Clinic

Now Seeing Orthopaedic Trauma Patients

In addition to seeing our current patients who do not qualify for telemedicine, the Surgery Clinic is now seeing orthopaedic trauma patients who need to be seen in-person.

Telemedicine Visits

In an effort to keep our patients and health care workers safe, we are offering virtual visits and phone visits for new and existing patients.

Before Coming to a UAMS Health Location

If you have any symptoms of COVID-19, think you may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, or have tested positive for COVID-19, you will need to reschedule your appointment.

Patients who have had a COVID-19 infection may have in-person appointments 21 days after infection or a positive COVID test, as long as your symptoms are improving.

Call the UAMS Health appointment center at (501) 686-8000 to reschedule your appointment or ask if your appointment can be done by phone or video. Please call your clinic if you have questions about coming for an in-person visit.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Everyone who comes to a UAMS Health location is required to wear a mask and pass a health screening. You will also have your temperature taken. Please do not remove your mask until asked to do so by a UAMS Health employee.

Visitors required or recommended to quarantine by the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) due to illness, potential exposure, travel or other reason are not allowed at UAMS Health locations until cleared by ADH.

Outpatient Visitor Guidelines

One visitor may come to your appointment with you. You may also include others in your appointment by phone or video chat. Visitors must be 18 or older. Some clinics have additional visitor guidelines. Call your clinic for more information if you have a visitation question.

Please visit our COVID-19 resources to learn more about what to expect at your appointment.
