Incredible interaction with Dr Sasaki-Adams. She took so much time with us. We were not rushed at all. She is wonderful.

The care providers have always been good but get better each time we visit. This is what we expected when we came to UAMS in the beginning. You were already the high mark according to our knowledge, and word of mouth from others, some that had been patients at UAMS.

Dr. Sasaki-Adams is very professional and always has the best bedside manner. We met the NP for the first time and she seemed very knowledgeable and professional as well. Overall great experience. I appreciate that this doctor doesn't leave you in suspense. Its nice to know your test results ASAP instead of drawing it out causing extra stress.

The appointment was okay but I did not get to see my mri scans and the radiologist had not yet given results. After those results did come I messaged the provider with questions and none of those were answered and I felt my concerns regarding the results were dismissed.
