20 Best Physician Assistant Programs In Little Rock, AR (2022 Updated)

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

Everyone is very professional, but also very personable. Dr. Joel Smith is an excellent surgeon and has helped me through a rough couple of years! He was VERY thorough and careful as we navigated through getting rid of infection (the infection WAS NOT from any surgery that he performed) and getting a new replacement in and then doing another total knee as well on my other knee. Larry and Kelly were very responsive to my needs/ phone calls. Blake was also great to deal with and my niece also thought he was cute….. guess that never hurts 😉😁 The girls up front are always really sweet! I would say that you run a very tight efficient ship!!!!GINA DRYE

Everything was going fine up until it came time for my injection of stuff into my right thumb. I guess I made the Doctor mad or at minimum upset. Not sure what I might have done but what ever it was, I want to apologize for it. The Doctor seemed a bit rushed during the injection process and since this was my first time for this type of injection, I was not ready for it. I thought I was but not really. This type of injection was a bit more difficult than I expected. So it’s very possible I was the problem for all that happened. The Doctor was only doing what I wanted. So, next time I do this I’ll be more prepared.Chief T33

Dr. Joel Smith and his entire staff are phenomenal. Dr. Smith takes the time to listen to your concerns and finds solutions . He has treated two broken ankles and performed two knee replacements on me and I couldn't ask for better results..or a better support team. His staff is professional, friendly, and always ready to assist in any needs you might have. I most definitely recommend him for any orthopedic needs.Jeannie Thompson

It was refreshing to find a dentist who has empathy. He was upfront and honest, but reassuring at the same time. His exam was the most thorough exam I've ever had and his manner is kind and thoughtful. He has very advanced tech that I'd never seen before that created a 3D image of my upper and lower jaws and teeth. At all times, the staff were polite and friendly. It's a 3 hour drive to Littlerock from where I live, but I'd gladly make the drive again and again for Dr. Chandler's care. He struck me as very knowledgeable, well-connected, and concerned. Highly recommend.Lisa F

Fantastic experience every time! Dr. Chandler is amazing! I've had teeth cleanings, minor dental work, and also had a great experience with teeth straightening. The staff is extremely friendly and Nancy is always helpful in adjusting appointments, squeezing in emergency appointments, etc. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great dental experience!K M

Great staff! I filled out the paperwork before my arrival and I didn’t have to complete it again. I’ve been in search of a home dentistry and I’ve found them. Jane is extremely attentive and gentle and she did an terrific job cleaning my teeth (I have cold & hot sensitivity) Dentist was transparent, honest, and down-to-earth. Keep up the great work!Bobby Moore

Absolutely amazing! This isn’t even my regular dentist, but my tooth broke last night and mine was closed today. I went to them based off of their already 5-star review and because this was an emergency situation that couldn’t really wait until Monday. Right when you walk in, the place is BEAUTIFUL! it looks completely brand new. Even the little offices are so pretty. Everyone was sooo nice. My dental assistant (I think her name was Kristen?) kept it real with me about costs. The actual dentist that I failed to hear her name was AMAZING. She let me know exactly what she was doing while she was doing it. She was very straight forward and I appreciate that. They ended up having to extract my tooth after giving me some options and talking them through with me. They even asked what kind of music I would like while they did it. I really dislike going to the dentist and the thought of someone I’d never met ripping a tooth out of my face was not sitting well with me. Now, after the appointment, it was a complete 10/10 experience, even though the experience was pulling a tooth! Although the situation sucked and my regular dentist was closed, I could not be happier with Cantrell Dental being the one I went to. I will be going to them from now on. Highly recommend!Londyn Taylor

Some people hate going to the dentist. Not me; I like going. Dr. A is friendly and I like her confidence in doing a job right the first time. The staff are friendly and conscientious. When I called, they were able to fit me in right away and I immediately felt at home on my first visit. I’ve always had Delta Dental which has made it easy to see any dentist, but upon returning to Arkansas I picked up a different insurance that has made it challenging to find a Dentist in Central Arkansas. Dr. A took my insurance and I’m glad she did. I’ve found a new dental home that’s caring and is conveniently located in West Little Rock on Highway 10!J Kerr

I am a new patient and everything about my appointment was amazing from the time I stepped into the building to the time I left. Welcoming atmosphere, friendly smiling faces, beautiful decor. Hannah was the absolute best, we talked and laughed the entire appointment. The doctors are loving, and I can’t wait until my next appointment!!Caitlyn P.

Approximately five months ago I was feeling stuck in my life with no idea what my next step would be. I had not jumped at the idea of going back to college, as it can be costly and time intensive with a full schedule. At this same time, my best friend shared a Facebook post with me about this school. The school was in its beginning stages and at first it just seemed like something else to do. Fast forward five months later, I would not have imagined I would be a Certified Medical Assistant, with my best friend. I am now inspired to begin my new career and to further my education in healthcare. Throughout this experience, I really must thank Mellonie. Her role extends far beyond instructor- she is a listener, a cheerleader, a mentor. She has had the utmost patience and understanding with me, and she helped me to get out of my shell and see my true potential. She is very funny and we had many good times and genuine laughs along the way. If you are feeling hesitant about registering for a class, just do it! She will happily work with you to make sure you succeed, no matter your age or experience. She always worked with my schedule, she knows life can get busy sometimes! If you still aren’t sure, have your friend register with you! You can both get through it together, and you’ll be able to support each other. This was always a bonus for skills tests and for studying! Thank you Gateway Allied Health for your time and your patience. I will never forget this school and I hope to see you grow and flourish. I wish you all the best. “Peace be with you!”Tori Vick

Gateway Allied Health is an amazing school! I recently attended here for the medical assistant program and it was excellent. Mellonie is a great teacher. she’s very enthusiastic and understanding of all her students. She really wants to help you succeed! I definitely recommend this school to everyone. it’s a great way to earn a certification in a short amount of time.Rachel Michelle

I was their first student and it was a great experience! Mellonie was so flexible with my crazy schedule and had all kinds of trips and tricks that really helped with my skills. Plus she had some connections to help me get a job right out of class! Certification was a breeze after going through this program. I'd recommend it to anyone.Sea Jaeschke-Jester

It was my first experience at this Dentist office. The staff were very professional and were all courteous and friendly. My dental hygienist, Rachael, was very nice and did a great job cleaning and examining my teeth. She was very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable , being it was my first visit. Dr. Leding was also very professional and nice and easy to understand concerning her diagnosis for my future dental work. Overall a great visit!Gary Clark

Rachel did a great job cleaning my teeth with some new sonic type device (not sure what it is called). She was also very understanding about my anxiety about going to the dentist for some unknown reason. She was good about reminding me to relax and breathe. Dr. Leding was very through and explained several different options for an issue I was having but she never tried to push me into having something done that wasn’t completely necessary.Ellen Shollmier

My first visit was awesome. They reassured me that all would be ok. See I am a full blown coward and terrified of dentist. But, I believe Arkansas Dental Center (Dr. Leading) is everything. Looking forward to get this work done. Second visit was just as awesome. Overall, still impressed with the expertise of the entire staff. Dr. Leding is the best I've ever had in my entire 70 years Thanks DocBettie Hornes

First all I paid an old bill which was $109.47 and then set an appointment at 3 pm I had a tooth ache came back thinking they was gonna take care of it for me wishful thinking the lady that was checking my teeth she just seemed to giggle a lot and not to much of caring about my issues then I was told they would have to do a root canal and put a crown on it.To me they think everything is funny to what do or how much you have to pay.At the end am still in pain with a tooth ache so am not going back to them I needed something done and you choose to do whatever to do it's my mouth pain I wanted you all to do your job not take my money and send me out the door in pain.Now how would you feel if you was done that way.You all did not fulfill your job if you think you did your wrong so wrong.Padro Green

They were great for 15 years – until I actually had a problem with my tooth. It took forever for someone to to return my call, I eventually spoke with someone and was able to express my concerns. We discussed the facts – I was in excruciating pain, and the abscess returned after Dr. Kenneth Pearson completed the root canal. I truly believe he cracked my tooth, a root canal does not take 2 1/2 hours. The woman I spoke with told me that she would give me a call back after speaking with Dr. Reynolds. Sadly, the call came nearly 3 weeks later, enough time for me to meet with another endodontist and dentist. Of course Dr. Pearson had to give me a total refund. I wish the sequence of events had gone differently, I really liked Dr. David.Te ce

I'm a first time patient to this dental office, that being said my experience was amazing. The front desk staff is wonderful and very helpful and knowledgeable. The staff is friendly and they take this current pandemic very seriously. While I was getting my procedure done the staff was working diligently to clean every surface and ensure that everyone was safe and comfortable. I would recommend if your not happy with your current dental office I strongly recommend giving Harris and Reynolds a shot to put the smile on your face you deserve.Jeff Aldrich

I come to you today to offer a word of thanks to you and your lovely staff. Your service to me was second to none and it started at the front door. The ladies behind the windows are so nice to the patients and they seem to understand us so well. It is not always easy to be polite and cheerful with the pressures of life always present from home and the work place but they manage it well They treated me like I was someone special. You are at the top of your game too because you uncovered a life threatening issue and I thank you 🙏 and your team for coming to the plate and hitting a grand slam for me. Due to your efforts my life was spared. You don’t always get a second chance at life but you saved my life. I don’t have enough time or space to express myself about the exceptional service I received. Again thanks for treating me and others like we are someone special and I say again I am totally impressed with you and the team you have assembled. It is a wonderful experience to come to your office ThanksLawrence Gupton

One of the worst experiences i’ve had. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s at my General Practitioners and was giving a referral to here. I go and meet with their assistant and they told me I needed to be on the same level of medication even though I was having terrible symptoms and I didn’t feel listened to at all. They tested me for adrenal insufficiency but I never received my results back so after calling several times over a few days I finally got an answer and all they told me was the levels were conflicting and I would need another type of test to make sure. They told me they would reach out when they wanted to do the test and they never called back. If you want to feel heard and actually get results, I’d recommend somewhere else.Jessica Rochelle

Dr Thrasher is my most favorite doctor. And I have many. I have seen Dr. Thrasher for over a decade. I was on an insulin pump most of that time. I'm pleased to say that I've been off the pump for over 6 months and my sugar levels are excellent. I've lost 80 lbs. I didn't believe I would have ever been this healthy again. Now I have 1 small shot at bedtime and another one once a week. My A1c is around 6.0, down from 14+. I believe with Dr. Thrashers care and guidance I have overcome my greatest health risks. I recommend him to everyone who is diabetic.Helen Spencer

I attempted to seek medical care from the internal medical clinic. Someone at my previous healthcare provider's office had already contacted the doctor when a medical records request was received by the first provider whom I left due to inappropriate medical treatment. The UAMS doctor did not even attempt to talk to me but instead ignored a nurse phone call for a week or so. The UAMS doctor told me my problems were caused by depression on my second visit because of the phone call from the first providers office who should not have called UAMS at all. Find treatment elsewhere if possible. The UAMS staff then lied to me and said there had been no contact whatsoever between UAMS and the first provider. I was attempting to get physical care, which is completely separate from mental health care and I should not have been told my issues were caused by depression based on another providers assessment who told me he couldn't treat me.Sarah Dauback

One of the worst schools ever. I paid $12,000.00 to sit in a classroom and listen to slide shows, little to no hands on work, and if you want to practice your modality, it must be done after school or after clinicals. Students are overloaded with work, shoved into clinicals after only two weeks at school with very minimal experience, and told to either sink or swim. All the teachers did was lecture and relied heavily on the clinical instructors (who are already overworked) to teach us the hands on work. What exactly did I pay UAMS for? The Dean offered little to no help with my situation, and I was forced to leave my program because I stood my ground when it came to bullying from teachers and my clinical instructors.Anna Taylor

I went there for PT for Parkinson's Disease. The therapist ( Claire ) was very polite, professional and understanding. I felt that when she asked me questions, she actually listened to my answers. She made sure that I did not over do any of the exercises. She told me tropicals I could try and questions I should think about asking my neurologistDonna

I took my two sons here today for the first time for routine cleaning/exam and we had an excellent experience! Both hygienists were kind, patient, and accommodating to one nervous kid and one enthusiastic energetic kid with all the questions! Dr Fruchey took his time with the boys and explained their X-rays to all of us in detail. The hygienists took extra time to talk about good cleaning practices and made both boys feel at ease. We are so happy we gave them a try and we will definitely make this their dental care home!Ashley Sparks

The staff is so amazing and friendly! They always take the time to explain everything and give you all the information/choices and never make you feel pressured into doing any services. Dr. Fruchey and his team are very knowledgeable, and take the time to listen to what’s going on and any concerns you may have. They truly make you feel welcomed from the moment you enter the door. I travel almost two hours to come and see them so that is saying a lot! They are worth it!Randa Hitchcock

Today was my first visit and it was by far the best. Everyone was super friendly, the dental hygienist took the time to listen to my concerns. She did exactly how I asked and was careful while cleaning. The dentist was very knowledgeable and nice! He also listened to my concerns and gave me his opinion and options on what we could do. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be using them from here out.Krysten Cox

The past 10 weeks at Little Rock School of Dental Assisting have been 10 weeks that I will remember forever.. It has been such an incredible experience. RACHAEL, CHARLA AND MEGHAN are truly wonderful at what they do. I am extremely thankful to each of them for taking the time to teach each one of us everything that is necessary to be successful as dental assistant. I absolutely enjoyed these 10 weeks and met some of the most amazing people I have ever came across. Definitely a place where you will learn and have fun while learning. I absolutely recommend doing the program. It's easy if you stay focused throughout the 10 weeks. A wonderful hands on experience!Suylen Chavira

My last day at this wonderful school is on Friday and i am so so sad to leave all of my new friends and my awesome teachers! It’s amazing how close we became in just 10 short weeks! I always felt encouraged, supported and loved! All of our hard work has paid off! It’s bittersweet to part on Friday but i know that each of us are ready to crush it! I can’t thank my teachers enough for the hard work and effort they put in as well! They really care as long as you’re willing to do your part as well! If your looking for a career, a change or a new opportunity i highly recommend this program! Every single day was worth it!Briana Rowlett

THIS IS THE BEST PROGRAM. I was weary about starting a career in dental assisting, but thankfully i did and chose APEX. I even landed a job before finishing school in March. I learned so much and got a lot of hands on experience within the 10 weeks of going to school. A big Shout Out to Charla for being the BEST instructor! Any questions or concerns I had I knew I could ask Charla! This program not only gave me a great education but it brought me the best of friends! 10/10!!Karmyn Bramlett

This place of service has saved my life. Two years ago I wasnt able to walk very far until my feet and legs were in pain. Not only am I a heart patient here at Saline Heart Group but I am a type 2 diabetic. Since 2019 I have struggled with high A1c numbers resulting in pain in my feet. Saline Heart Group offers a Diabetic program to help heart patients learn more about their condition and helped set a plan in motion to bring my numbers down. As of my last test that is exactly what happened!! I am positive with the education of this program and effort on my part has lowered my A1C. I appreciate Doctor Hatch for supplying this new program to help his heart patients. If you need help please come to the Saline Heart Group for help. The staff here are amazing!Tammy Creed

In September of 2019 I turned 65 and Enrolled on Medicare.I had been battling high blood pressure and not wanting to go on blood pressure medicine. My husband had a liver transplant two years prior from Non Alcoholic Cirrhosis which started as fatty liver. We saw Dr Hatch who facilitates the Ornish Program we were approved for the heart wellness program. One week after starting my blood pressure was down to perfect. The staff is so caring they are like a family and get along like a well oiled team.its a life style change and our life’s are worth it. A new liver can get fatty liver if you don’t change what you were doing. We feel we have a second chance to make our body’s better from the inside out.Gayle Tamez

We’ve been cardio patients at Saline Heart Group for years. They are excellent! Very professional & extremely caring! They have recently begun health educational programs, such as their Diabetic Program & Cancer Program, for the whole community, besides their excellent “Or ish Cardio Program”. Dr Hatch is the best! He’s so caring, intelligent & personable. And his WHOLE staff are professional people as well, and treat you like family. We would (& do) recommend this local heart clinic to everyone! Charlie & Jan Carty – Benton, ARCharles Carty

My first time there and I was nervous. Everyone was nice and explained in detail what was going to happen at my visit. They did not look down at me for having not gone to a dentist in a long time. My treatment plan was explained with valid reasons for taking certain measures to ensure my quality of life. I can't wait for my continued journey with the agency on my dental needs. Update ** I had to get my teeth pulled. I was terrified. I was going to cancel the appointment but I decided to go. The dental assistant was already waiting for me at the front desk. I was very honest at the beginning about my anxiety. She gave me great encouragement and the dentist came in an also was encouraging. He explained everything he was doing, when I would feel some pain or pressure. Even though the process of pulling the teeth out didn't hurt my anxiety was causing me to tear up every now and then. The dental assistant wiped my eyes and kept with the encouragement and the dentist as well. It felt like 30 minutes had passed and 5 teeth pulled. My recovery time was quick. I will be getting my fillings next. I want to thank the team for being awesome. Normally I would have had a panic attack but you walked me patiently through it. Update part 2: I got my temporary bridge and crown for upper right side. It was different. But it was easy going. Rachel and her assistant kept me engage by talking to me about life and keep me in the loop of what was happening. It felt like we was having a normal day having brunch drinking long islands… I swear I was okay. When I had an issue from a bottom right side tooth began hurting . They stopped assessed the situation, did a temporary fix and bam! We was back on the game plan. As a person with negative experiences with dentists, I am constantly surprised by how I am treated and how receptive I am to everyone. All the staff seem so darn nice and happy. I have a few more visits before my million dollar smile returns. I can't wait to come back to my next session.Lakendra Mackey

My first visit with this office was in 2020 and the service then was amazing. My visit was that I needed dental care. On last Thursday, July 7, 2022 I was in need for immediate dental care and the services provided now was just the same then, which was just as amazing. The entire staff is caring, compassionate, friendly, concerning, generous, and professional. I would only recommend this Dental Office because they carry their name with great pride!! Little Rock Family Dental Care. Talk about family!! Keep doing great work!!Selina Porter

Everyone was so helpful, answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable for my wisdom teeth extraction. Courtney from the front desk was pleasant and very informative regarding the entire process with the consult with Dr Burnett. Dr Burnett has great bedside manner. His nurse was phenomenal as well. All in all would definitely recommend this care team for anyone in the future. Thank you all!Katie Pennington

The only problem was the waiting time was rather long. My appointment was 9:45. And I was called in for x -rays about 11:00. Then sent back out into the waiting room for another half hour.By the time I was called and put in a waiting to see Dr. Martin, it was probably 11:30ish. When I got in my car to leave, it was about 12:20. The doctors spent good time with me and were very thorough. I didn't have any thing else going on that day, so the waiting didn't really put me out that day. But I am just saying three hours is a long time to be in a clinic. As I remember there were lots of patients in the waiting room and everyone seems to be very patient and understanding and were making humorous jokes about it. So all in all I think it was a pleasant visit.Deborah Walter

From surgery resulting from a fall in February thru my final follow-up visit and x-rays today, I couldn’t be more pleased with the care I received from Dr. Baxter and the staff at Martin Orthopedics. There were never delays in the waiting room for my appointment; the receptionists, techs and nurses were skilled, considerate and caring; and Dr. Baxter not only did an awesome job putting me back together but has been attentive and informative in my follow-up care. I can recommend them without reservation.Margaret Nezhadpour

I had a total knee replacement this year. I can say from the first Initial visit to my last check up has been excellent. Martin is the best . I will recommend him to anyone and everyone that needs surgery. His staff is also great. If you have a question or concerns about anything they are there to help. I thank God for him and his knowledge. I pray that God continue bless him and keep him.Maria Allen

Kenny (that's what he asks all patients to call him), is a great reflection on the kind of care you would receive driving all the way to Little Rock from Hot Springs Village. I am very grateful this office is available to those of us who are in situations where we just need an answer as to what to do next, and can drive just down the road to find that out. At first I was a bit hesitant; but, Kenny's professionalism and his personability put that feeling to rest. But, even more importantly, it was very apparent Kenny is very good at what he does and he deserves the faith that Dr. Hefly has in him to provide not only the professional care needed; but, the "personal" care. Don't expect a "plush" office; but do expect to get 5 star care. I don't know if I am going to need further tests or treatments; but, I do know that if those are needed, Kenny will see that they are done. Thank you for seeing the need for this service in the Village and providing it with 5 star care.Connie Shafer

I went in with 2 functioning arms. I can no longer use my right arm after surgery. It continues to come out of place. Extremely painful. Waited 3 1/2 hours in the waiting room past my appointment time to be seen. You're treated like cattle. They don't listen and don't care. Very disappointed! Now I have to see a specialist to try and gain the use of my arm back. The answer I get from the doctor, well it's not my fault. Not, let's figure this out or let's get you out of pain or anything helpful. Just, it's not his fault. Well, who else did the surgery? I was 100 times better off before my surgery. Now I'm crippled. Can't drive, dress myself, and having to learn to live with the use of one arm only. All they are worried about is getting the insurance money. Go anywhere else!jason harper

Bowne Hefley Clinic is the GREATEST. Dr. Hefley is a caring, professional surgeon who is very mindful of you as a patient. His surgery to my shoulder was phenomenal. The nurses, the Arkansas Surgical Center, the entire group is awesome. PA Kenny Weaver is AWESOME. He has followed my progression on my shoulder during rehab and maintains a one on one follow up to make sure everything is going well. Even the ladies at the Bowen Hefley clinic are so friendly, courteous and caring. Roy SpannAustin Shields

Seen Doc two years ago. I've had 2 knee replacements on same knee, 4 months apart ,Performed by a local surgeon who passed away just a few months after my second surgery along with his brother. Brother refused to see me again. Begged Dr, Martin to help me. All he suggested was psychiatrist or pain management. My pain ever since then has been on a pain scale from 8-10. Called again today for help. Office wouldn't even provide me an appointment. They told me to go somewhere locally for X-rays. If anyone knows of a good surgeon that will help me start living again, that would be awesome. Loss of money and time! Should have known better!!Kathy Vereker

After 2 1/2 weeks post op and 2 phone calls regarding extreme pain, I finally saw Dr Martin today. Nurse on 1st call just said of course it's going to hurt you need to resume normal activities. Nurse on 2nd call was rude. PA today visited with me and explained why so much pain still. Dr Martin came in for a couple of minutes. Got 2 prescriptions called in for inflammation and pain. I used to think highly of Dr Martin and referred many people, not so much anymore!Dianna Sadler

Upon my first contact w/Dr. Martin he instilled a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Hearing that you need knee surgery puts a person on edge. Him and his assistant suggested let's try injections first to see if this works. Let's take this one step at a time, the injections we're painless and they are working. Thank you!!!!G Benson

From beginning to end, this is hands down the best dental experience I've had. Let's start with COVID pre-cautions. Your temperature is taken at the door after you've been notified by phone that they're ready for you. Everything is wiped down after each use. And their new hygienist suite seems like a luxury to be separated from other procedural rooms. Kelsey was ultra thorough during my cleaning and just a joy. I struggle with the polish toothpaste when it hit other parts of my mouth. That gritty texture really doesn't sit well. Like a master "Operation" player, she navigated that toothpaste without touching any parts of my mouth that weren't teeth. Dr. Davenport's assessment was no non-sense, to the point, and they had me scheduled for my next appointment and out the door in no time.Shane Ermitano

Everything about my experience with Markham Street Dental was and has been excellent. I didn’t have dental care for several years prior to 2020 because I didn’t have dental insurance. I feel like I have a complete team at Markham Street Dental to help me take care of my teeth. Everyone at Markham Street Dental is good at what they do. They have a large monitor which they use to show me my teeth and I can clearly see what Dr. Davenport tells me about. If you are looking for excellent dental care with experienced and considerate people, look at Markham Street Dental.Barbara Montague

As usual, my recent trip to get my teeth cleaned was very pleasant at Markham Street Dental. I needed to get in quickly and they worked around my time frame. Dr. Davenport and his friendly and professional staff saw to my every need. I’ve known Dr. Davenport since he was a teenager and he has most definitely made the transition from well-mannered teen to a skilled and caring professional. If you’re looking for a new dentist, give Markham Street Dental a call!Marilyn Sebourn

My name is Wayne Clark and I live in Conway but work in Little Rock. I am a regular exerciser who includes swimming, the elliptical, walking, and weights into my weekly workouts. Early last fall, I did something that injured my left shoulder. I am not sure if it happened with one single exercise or over a series of time. Probably, it was my body telling me I was 20 years old anymore and can’t lift the same amount of weight as I did when I was 20! I visited with my GP about my shoulder and his nurse practitioner recommended Pinnacle Physical Therapy. I waited a few months before I finally consulted my GP, but once I received the recommendation for Pinnacle, I scheduled an appointment as soon as possible. My overall experience with Pinnacle and Brian, specifically was outstanding. Brian was incredibly accommodating with my schedule. His approach to my pain was not isolated to the shoulder but looked at in a holistic way. He showed me a variety of exercised in his clinic and followed up in a very timely manner with an email that included videos of him doing the exercises. Within a few weeks of my first visit with Brian my pain started to subside. I was diligent in my exercises that he prescribed, which I believe helped. Once Brian felt like the pain was under control, he helped me see how I could modify my previous weight routines to get back on track. I appreciated Brian’s holistic approach to my pain as well as his gentle spirit in how he cared for me. I hope I don’t have a need for Brian’s services in the future, but if I do, I will certainly return to him.Wayne Clark

Hands down one of the best experiences I've ever had with a doctor. For a bit of a background, I'm a 23 year old IT guy and have been one for about 5 years, so my job has me sitting quite a lot. Also, I injured my back quite badly about a year ago, and for 9 months I was unable to do any of the fun physical activities I used to do (climbing, running, going to the gym, etc) due to extreme sciatic pain. I simply couldn't extend my left leg at all and couldn't bend over to pick anything up. I was beginning to lose hope that I'd ever get better. I tried Chiropractic care, which DID help, but I was so weak that the results of the treatments wouldn't stick due to being immobilized for so long. Without muscle, bones simply won't stay in the proper position. Going to PT at Pinnacle helped me build my body back up to the point of being able to do everything I used to do on a regular basis, and now I've even started to go to a gym again! After the first visit, we both figured that it would take a very long time to treat this problem as the pain was so great and my mobility was so hindered, but due to his hard work and dedication I ended up gaining a lot of my mobility back just after 3 visits, which caught us both by surprise. As of today (visit #5, about a month and a half into PT) I am able to move like I used to, and in some ways even better than before. It's amazing to finally have my life back after the most annoying and painful year in my life. Please give him a try if you're in any pain, I know it can be intimidating if you haven't done this before, but you won't regret it.Hunter Allen

I saw Dr. Murphy after experiencing some low back pain associated with certain movements/exercises. He really listened to me and helped me make adjustments where necessary and gave me exercises to incorporate into my daily routine to ensure that I can exercise pain free! I truly believe that Dr. Murphy's method of treatment will provide long term benefits, rather than a short term band-aid and for that I am so grateful! In addition, Dr. Murphy was always punctual and so easy to work with in scheduling appointments. He even gave me a great referral to an ortho doc for another issue. I highly recommend Dr. Murphy!Aislinn Andrews

My experience was rushed and awkward. The nurse was quite friendly but the dermatologist seemed to be trying her hardest to put on a smile and pretend like she wanted to be there. I will not be returning unless it’s with another dermatologist. I chose Dr. Enns because I wanted to try a female doctor, hoping she could relate more. Unfortunately, she was worse than my last male dermatologist. She was awkward and wasn’t helpful at all. She made me feel uncomfortable each time I asked a question. I did not receive a clear explanation of what medications she prescribed to me and why I needed to take them.Shaira A

I've been under Dr. Smith's care in the Pine Bluff clinic. He and his staff have always treated me with dignity and respect. Remembering who I am from one visit to another is refreshing compared to just being treated like cattle at your doctor's office. His candor and honesty in discussing my treatment allow me to talk openly and freely with him. He has only been late for one of my appointments in my several years seeing him – which I appreciate as much as anything else since my time is just as valuable to me as his is to him. Thank you, Dr. Smith and staff!Donnie Herring

From the time you walk in the door, the front desk staff greets you promptly and cheerfully. My appointment was for 9AM and that is when I was called back for my exam. Angela brought me back to the exam room and was very professional. Dr Parker listened closely as I discussed my skin concerns. He made some recommendations after what I shared with him and his examination of the skin concerns. I am very pleased with the results. This was my first visit with this Group and I will be returning as needed.Guy Thompson
