This visit was an outstanding visit... I was treated extremely well, not only in a professional manner but with kindness and caring by everyone I encountered... the Cancer Center facility was impressive... I was given clear instructions on where to park and where to go... but most impressive were Dr Moreno, Dr [NAME] and Dr [NAME] ... world class physicians... they provide destination care... I understand why the UAMS ENT Department is nationally recognized...

I was very pleased with Dr. Moreno and UAMS Hospital, too. I recommend, I've already recommended, him and the hospital to everybody I know that I come in contact that may have problems such as what I had. And I'm very, was very pleased to... that he helped me get through this very difficult time and he did it very professionally. And he was always very kind and very nice and he always told me just like it was. And I was so pleased and appreciate so much that he treated me like he did and he recommended the radiologist that he recommended in [CITY] and tried to help me out so that I wouldn't have to travel so far to get my treatments. And I was most definitely pleased to find out
