I would rate my experience higher if ai had understood my previous answers! Everyone I have encountered on the 5th floor of Kirklin Clinic since November 2025 when I had my original mammogram with UAB has represented UAB & Women's Health exceptionally well, blending professionalism with kindness and compassion. I have never had a better experience in another facility anywhere.

Great Service

A very caring facility. They collaborate with the other UAB doctors well, as a team. They work hard to get correct diagnosis, by tests and they look for the best treatment plan. Sometimes that can a trial. A research hospital is in the cutting edge, and I am thankful that I was able to get my breast care at UAB.

Everyone is very nice and professional

I had a great experience but it would be helpful to have one nurse that you spoke to during the whole journey that would make you fell more connected to all the different areas and doctors. I know I had access to lots of nurse navigators in all the areas but not one that followed me the whole time and knew me when I called with questions or concerns

The wait time for imaging and doctors appointment was extremely long. My appointment was scheduled for at 11:00am and we didn't leave UAB until after 2pm. Based on this experience, less likely to refer others to UAB
