Jeff Arey – Living Life to its Fullest!
“I want y’all to know that a year ago, I was limping so bad when I walked in your clinic that Dr. Barnes put me on a cane. After several X-rays and MRIs, a plan was put together of Hagland’s surgery on my right ankle, by Dr. Martin followed by knee replacement on my right knee by Dr. Barnes. I worked with two great physical therapists at the clinic on Colonel Glenn, Ellie and Allie and both are Awesome!
Been a tough 12 months, but now I’m back to my active lifestyle doing the things I love! Like chasing after our 4 year old twin granddaughters and fishing for Big Reds! Thank you to the entire team at UAMS!!”
