15 Best Mph Programs In Little Rock, AR (2022 Updated)

Everyone working in the library was very pleasant and professional. My daughter enjoyed the exhibits, reading the president's daily schedules, and letters from citizens while he was in office. She also enjoyed taking pictures at the Resolute Desk. Highly recommended if you visit Little Rock.Manley Clark

Our group The Turtle Creek Chorale performed here and it was a deeply spiritual we moving performance on our part. It was really clear after visiting the library at this location why President Clinton chose this spot for his Library!Travis Cummings

I like this Presidential library more than Reagan’s or Nixon’s… and the staff was better than at those other two in California… not as glitzy as the very over-priced Reagan propaganda center…Mike Eggert

The last couple of times one of my grandchildren has had to use this hospital have been major disappointments. The emergency room is ALWAYS understaffed. Other hospitals insist on sending babies here to wait hours on end. They no longer allow more than 1 adult with a sick child. Noone is willing to help while a parent waits hours needing to use the restroom, needing a drink or starving, all while wondering if their child will survive. After a visit on Thursday in which the child was discharged with nothing more than Tylenol and motrin, a call was recieved on Friday saying the child needed to come back for IMMEDIATE treatment for a blood infection. They said that everything would be ready when they arrive. 2 HOURS after arrival they finally get into a room only to be sent home AGAIN after about 4 more hours with inadequate answers. This 1 year old child is lethargic, has fever, cough and diarrhea since Thursday. He is negative for both flu types, covid and other viruses. After finding blood in his stool on MONDAY, his mommy takes him to a different hospital where they confirmed that it was in fact blood. They then transferred his info to Children's and ordered they do an ultrasound upon arrival back at Children's. Mom was told to give them paperwork and that she would not have to wait so long. 3 hours later, she is still in the waiting room, alone, unable to have anyone come relieve her for a simple bathroom break. Absolutely the WORST hospital EVER! They are not providing adequate testing, they do not have adequate parking for the ER and they are extremely understaffed. Other hospitals need to take on some of these children instead of sending every cough and cold to Children's. Or Children's needs more facilities with adequate staff to handle the number of children. Also, symptoms need to determine order in which children are seen. 3 visits from Thursday to Monday with fever and blood in stool should provide a clue that something is terribly wrong with this baby!Pamela Gray

My child was transported to Children’s at 11:28 A.M, while there I asked the nurses multiple times for food due to my child being hungry, at the time of 6:25 P.M nurses was asked again. NOW keep in mind that’s over 6 hours asking for food and nothing. Back to 6:25 P.M when the nurse was asked again she stated she would go get something and bring it back. Nurse comes back in stating that we are going to be discharged soon. I Informed the nurse again that my child has been asking for food since arriving at the hospital and the nurse stated well you are being discharged soon, when you leave you can go get something.I informed the nurse that we would have to call some one to pick us up because we rode in the ambulance to the hospital and that it is a few hours drive. So get discharged and go down to the cafeteria and guess what it’s closed. At this point we have no options left. While waiting for family to pick us up staff of the hospital comes up to us and tell us that we can not be in the building because it closes at 9pm and that we will have to stand out side, so now a starving 3 year old and I was put out side waiting for our ride in the middle of the night. I was going to pay for the food for my child but was denied by medical staff and due to the cafeteria being closed. Now I’m put in a position that either I have to walk the streets of a city that I know nothing about to find my child food and worry if we get kidnapped or killed, or set out side the hospital with my starving child until my ride gets here. I would just like to say that it is very disappointing that a hospital would treat people like that and very unprofessional. For 1 my child should had never been discharged after a few hours of arriving there due to his medical condition also denying a 3 year old child food that I’m willing to pay for. I believe for the neglect of the hospital and the Deliberate indifference on the medical staff I will file a claim and sue the hospital.Robert Gilbert

The triage nurse at the general pediatric clinic took my son's rectal temperature without my consent or permission. Without introducing herself or anything, she just took him out of my arms and started doing stuff to him without explaining or telling me what she was doing first. I would have declined having that done to him but I wasn't even asked or given the chance to decline. I filled out a complaint on the surveys they send out asking about your experience and the office manager contacted me. She didn't offer me an apology or promise me it wouldn't happen again or anything like that, she just said that's their policy and that's the only way they can do it for babies under 6 months. Then why do they do it under the arm at UAMS and Baptist hospitals, even in the NICU where my son just spent 12 days? But that doesn't matter. Even if that is their policy the simple fact is I didn't want that done to my son. I'm an assault survivor and just do not feel comfortable having that done to my son – especially when he isn't sick and it's just a well-child check up. And it absolutely shouldn't have been done without my consent or permission and without explaining or telling me what they were doing first. I feel like they violated my child and I left the appointment feeling very distraught and upset. A simple apology and a promise that it wouldn't happen again and that I would be allowed to decline in the future would have gone a long way and is all I really wanted. You can't just start doing things to people without informed consent. That is wrong and against the law.Donnie The Fu

Went for heart echo. Short line for covid-19 pre check. Forced social distancing in waiting room. Reasonable wait time for check-in and actual test. And you must wear a mask all over building. Which is ok with me because of my regular illnesses.Jacqueline Biddle

UAMS Cancer treatment staff are all wonderful, highly professional and so so caring. I can't imagine going through this anywhere else!Rory Bowers

I have worked with such an Awesome and Phenomenal Team of Professors, Doctors, Nurses and Techs, and anyone that wears a UAMS badge 😀vivian hervey

My ordeal was traumatic. I had major gut wrenching stomach surgery. My experience in recovery was very caring. Once out of recovery tho, I needed to stay in the hospital and that level of care drastically became disappointing. Supposedly pain medication orders from my surgeon did not transfer from the recovery stage to my staying on the floor stage so the nurse refused to give me any pain medication. She stated there were no orders for it so she could not do anything. Common sense did not kick in. I requested her to call my doctor and after many times of her not wanting to bother anyone, she said she did call the resident on duty and was told I could have Tylenol.The obvious pain distress I was in was either not seen by the nurse or chosen to be overlooked. It turned out, when my surgeon’s team arrived the next morning, I should have been given morphine every three hours throughout the night, instead I received one dose of Tylenol. How does this happen at a training hospital? In my case, I was already in pain from having had surgery but the additional unnecessary and excruciating pain caused by the staff could have been avoided. After years of being in business, one would think they would have proper supervision and protocols in place and have extremely good patient care but this is not the case; nurses are overwhelmed and rushed and for the most part, fairly new. Although most nurses are nice, it does seem they are only programmed to give medication at a scheduled time and anything else is beyond their scope of reasoning.Ren Yeager

My hubby had surgery for skin cancer here .The whole experience was a nightmare for him and myself. We were told that his surgery would take aprox. 3 to 4 hrs by 3 people .Well they lie, lie ,lie. Bring a lunch folks bring a tent , charge your lap top, bring your phone charger ! Don"t check out of your hotel.Arrived at 6 :am as instructed.He didn't get out of surgery until 7:pm that night Then an hr.in recovery .I told them that we got dropped off this morning and was assured that he would be sent home w/ enough pain meds .until we were able to get his scripts filled the next day. We had no immediate access to our car.The staff in the recovery room were extremely rude.Seemed as if they were rushing him out .He woke up in extreme pain and disoriented I expressed concern about taking him out in the state that he was in and was told he's all yours now .I was handed scripts.I asked for the few pain meds that I was promised to get us by until morning ( I can't drive at night) and then was asked who ever told me that was wrong ( a R.N that said she noted that on his chart ) and that the hospital pharmacy just closed there in the hospital.I had to wait for my hubby for 14 hrs .Had I known that I would have stayed at the hotel in comfort until he get out of surgery.I was able to keep my room at la Quinta ( great people there ). They were kind enough to retrieve us from the hospital and out of kindness the driver also drove thru Walgreens and waited for us to get my scripts filled.paul lamber

I wanted to briefly share my thoughts about UAMS Cancer Institute to make others aware of what they may experience if they choose to be treated at this facility. The majority of non-professional staff members there are kind and seem to genuinely care. However, the doctors in charge have behaved in an unprofessional and negligent manner. It does not seem appropriate for me to mention any names or share specific details, but I can state that my wife would not have started treatment at UAMS if she knew in advance what this place was like. The commercials on television paint a picture of UAMS Cancer Institute being a first-class, patient-centered facility. Our experience has been one of disappointment and frustration from repeated negligence by the professional staff here. My wife has been so kind and patient, hoping things would improve, but the same problems continue to occur. I just thought others should know…Tom Scott

The good doctors don't stay long. The last visit we asked why my wife's body was shaking and jerking often to the point that trying to drink a cup of coffee meant spilling coffee everywhere and the cup banging against her teeth. The doctors response was "it's probably the gabapentin she takes. She shouldn't be taking so much medicine". The doctor didn't do anything else. She seemed ambivalent about my wife's condition. She didn't offer to substitute a different medicine, didn't offer to research why she shook so badly, didn't offer to refer her to a neurologist. When we went to her cardiologist at a different medical facility, we mentioned the same symptom. Tha APN immediately referred my wife to a neurologist. Which the UAMS doctor should have done weeks earlier.Robert A. Stone

My first visit I knew that I had made the right choice for me, I was not rushed I was listened too ,I was treated with respect and courtesy I felt safe to share my health concerns, my doctor worked with me to help me manage my health problems, thank youGertha Harper

I loved my Mom doctor (Dr. Wei)… but the prescription request is horrible and frustrating! I have called 3 times and no call back… I will have to revert back to my old PCP that I didn’t like just to get her medications filled.Sharonda G

UA Little Rock Bowen School of Law is one of the BEST values for a legal education. Low tuition rates and nationally recognized professors. Bowen is a great school. I should know, I work there.Steve Hyatt

Been going here a week and I am impressed with the quality of education so far. Felt like I’ve learned a lot in this week alone.Col Lan

My daughter will graduate from Hendrix College in a few weeks. I must say it has been an amazing 4 years for our family. If you don't insist on visiting Hendrix before you choose a college, you may never know what a great college experience can be! We visited 6 small, private, liberal arts colleges within 600 miles of Austin, Texas (our home), and Hendrix was the obvious choice to each of us. We've never regretted it for a moment. The campus is so beautiful and comfortable, Conway is a very nice little town, but it's the people that make Hendrix truly special. Experience Hendrix first, and then you'll see how ordinary the other colleges feel.Ron Coldiron

My daughter Sai left home in Bangkok, Thailand almost two years ago to attend this small CTCL college. She, and we love this place. Education is top grade, the faculty and staff friendly and supportive. The campus is beautiful and weather is mild. While the Conway community is small, its people have a big heart. Several families have volunteered their time and energy to make Sai and other international students in Conway feel at home. Many, many thanks to y'all!tik otaganonta

Good school; Wish they would've told my sister she needed summer school to keep her scholarship instead of sending a letter a month after school lets out and they let her clean out her dorm and move back home for the summer.ThePointOfNoReturn23

I was originally a student at a private school in Texas. One of the best in the world. So when we had to move here for a family illness, I was highly guarded about what I would find in quality at a public school…especially in Arkansas. Although I had three advisors screw up my plan three times in a row, I finally got the assistant dean as my advisor. She was wonderful and I am a graduate of the College of Arts, Letters and Sciences. I have to say I was highly impressed at the level of education and support that I received at UALR. Additional to a quality education, I was impressed with administration and the people's willingness to help me when I needed it and to call me back when they said they would. Teachers are mostly helpful. I was an online student so availability in a teacher is key. Sure there was one or two that weren't the best at it but I fortunately am tech enough to get myself through what I needed. I did not witness and racism, homophobia or bigotry on campus between students and teachers. However it seems to me that a lot of angry people in the reviews feel differently. I personally did not witness it. Additionally, my wife is an adjunct professor here and I know for a fact she cares immensely and passionately about ALL of her students and a lot of students are looking for excuses to not do the work but to get credit for nothing. It's not a food line, it's college. You want a good grade? You have to do the work and you have to do it well. You are adults. Act like it. A lot of people I met were just adult high schoolers in their maturity level. THAT is not UALR's fault.Sid

If you have the patience to deal with lack of communication and knowledge of the most basic things like me than apply if you do not avoid this school like the Black Plague! Seriously! I am in process applying for the nursing program transferring from out of state University. Mr. Jon Vickers never answer the phone or give you a call back, I literally call this man 10 times in the past two weeks and no answer or phone call back! He is suppose to be head of nursing department but he never answer any calls. Front desk people could never answer the most basic questions like “ when are the nursing application going to be available” they always transfer me and no one every seems to be available. Only good experience I had is talking to Belinda White. This school needs a lot of work with communication and keep their staff up to date on basic information.Elexus T

The university has gone straight up in the past 10 years. They have established one of the top 3(possibly the very top) engineering and have partnered with a great medical school(UAMS). The money they have been given helped to secure talented professors and great staff. Past that though, they have started to recruit high end students and provide scholarship money for all. For example, I received a full ride plus some spending money as a result of my "high performance" (read as standardized test scores). Be aware that, like most other state colleges, most awards are based off of test scores and having above a 3.5 in high school. Overall, the school has a bit of a bad rap around Arkansas because of what it was over 50 years ago, but it has become a competitor for the best in state college and is definitely still headed up.Red Rabbit

I Retired from the Nvay in 2000. i was totally unaware that VA services could be for me. One thing I will say is the Navy did a very poor job of indoctrinating or letting us know what was available to help our veterans. I started using the VA in Little Rock in early January 2000 and it was my first experiences with a VA hospital. I found the people friendly, professional,very empathetic and they did what they said they were going to do, mostly . I say most of the time because sometimes rules get in the way of progress The VA is a huge bureaucracy. It appears to me that every position that is directly involved with patient care. does a fantastic job. when it comes to common sense senior leadership the VA gets a D- I think everyone should know that. Yesterday I had surgery on my back. For you that know me may remember I fell out of a DC-9 aircraft and also know that wasn’t the only time i fell from distance or cracked open my head on a part of an aircraft. I was a search and rescue swimmer and a medic.so I jumped lots of times. So yesterday they they opened up my back and rooter rooter some holes in my hips and moved some roots around. I don’t know what all they did but I wanna say throughout it all , the service was absolutely excellent,the surgeon was wonderful Dr. Porcelli and DR Taylora. Earned my trust and admiration.Special shout to DR Porcellis’ team. There were none better than Eric, Heather,Dr. Taylor they all did a wonderful wonderful job for me it went above and beyond what you would expect from any hospital not just a VA. Kevin Ponder RN took care of me my first night which was a painful night!!!! Kevin kept me comfortable with all the prescriptions I needed ,he knew what to do when to do it and he cared about the patients.You could tell just the way he acted that he truly cared and loved his job and that’s that’s a big quality. Kevin kept me alive through the night after my surgery. when I say saved me, he took time to investigate a bladder issue i was having and didn’t know it. he troubleshot the problem and fixed it. Thank You Kevin. i wish you the best.. If you are a vet and scared of the VA, don’t be. I can’t say it enough, Thank You Eric, Heather, Kevin Ponder DR Taylor and especially Dr. Porcelli .he is the best back mechanic there is. there are hundreds of people working at the LRVA and i wish to thank them all. if you are part of the team , keep up the good work. If you are part of the Bureaucracies that makes things very difficult for your people to work with, listen to them!!They have got great ideas to make the VA work smoothly and efficiently .Charles Trent Townsend

I was admitted to the hospital on Sunday, June 20 2021, for a AAA repair. Monday at about 0830 I was taken to the OR, I woke up about 1200 in the ICU. The surgery was performed by Dr. Moursi ( the best vascular surgeon you could ever need) and his very talented crew of assistants. The surgery went very well. Tuesday at about 1100 I am out of the hospital and on my way home. These are very good dedicated people who know what they are doing. I have to mention two very good RNs that took exceptional care of me while I was there, 1st was Chocquita, 4C nights (not sure of the spelling) an Army vet and all around good person, and OB ( an SICU nurse that made sure every IV line and heart monitor wire was perfectly placed) who truly care about the patients comfort and well being. This hospital is truly blessed to have this great talent. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to all of the people that make this hospital great for Veterans.Randall Rahlf

I have no problems with my primary care doctor, he is FANTASTIC. What I do have a problem with is the Ortho Dept. This is the worst clinic I have ever been too. But since I get all my healthcare at the VA I have to deal with it. EVERY time I go to an ortho appointment I am never seen on time. If I show up at my scheduled time or 15 minutes before, on average I am not seen until almost an 1hr or 1hr 30mins later, with the longest being almost 3hrs. The same lady will always come out and say "we are running behind" I just wanted to post my dissatisfaction. I understand everyone is short staffed right now but this was happening even before covid. Veterans should not be treated this way, PERIOD. Going to this clinic is worse than probably getting aids. Funny thing is, I was on time for my country in time of need but I dont get that same respect back for my healthcare. TRASHDale Kinder

The team of professionals that watch our skies 24/7 are some of the nicest and most helpful folks you'll ever meet. The office is secured on airport grounds and is not open to the public.Jody Carter

My daughter has had wonderful results with this program. For the first time in her adult life she is able to manage her mental health and enjoy life again thanks to the treatment she has received at the PRI.Jane Sherrill
