From top to bottom, the best. UAMS is way to get lost in. I questioned some nurses that were leaving about directions. One called and they all walked me to where I needed to go. That is going above and beyond. Which is what UAMS does. Goes above and beyond.

I was offered a choice to continue my treatment at Baptist but I can't imagine they could be a friendly and nice as everyone I interacted with at UAMS. I trust my health care to UAMS because of the people.
