About Dr. Lane
Clinical Biography
Dr. Lane grew up in Abilene, Texas and graduated from Rice University in Houston and from UT Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, in 1990. His Family Medicine residency training was in Tucson with another U of A, the University of Arizona.
His first two years after training, Dr. Lane practiced rural medicine including obstetrics in Eagle Lake, Texas. He then worked in the NASA area of Houston for 10 years. He and his family moved to New Zealand in 2005 where he practiced rural medicine at the Otaki Medical Centre for six years. There he gained Fellowship (similar to board certification) in the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners. Upon his return to the US in 2011, he was employed by Sparks Regional Medical Center at the Greenwood, AR Family Medical Clinic. Over the years, he has had several interesting locum tenens assignments, too: IHS in Arizona, a cruise ship in the Caribbean, and an HMO in Hawaii.
Dr. Lane joined the UAMS West Faculty in 2014. He has special interest in outpatient care, geriatric and nursing home care, medical assisted treatment of opiate use disorder, and responsible use of limited health care resources. I am proud that our residents are able to go straight into a wide variety of practice settings, from hospitalist to ED fellowship to full-spectrum outpatient family medicine.
Other interests include outdoor sports (canoeing, hiking, and sailing) and gardening. He and his wife of 30 years, Leah, have two grown children.

Doctor didn't listen to my issue or provide a solution to my problem. Sent me away and told me to take a Tylenol when I explained why I can't he acted like he had never delt with female health issues and went to speak to someone else. Was one of the worse appointments I've ever had

It's good to have place where the doctors treat as concerned advisors more than just being another patient and number concern is key with all patients especially with confidentiality judgement should be the last thing any patient should feel that'at risk
