Olaya Gets Back in Competition

By Kelly Gardner

At UAMS our goal is to provide the best care for every patient every day. Our patients say it best, and their stories are really the story of UAMS. All the formal awards and accolades just can’t tell the UAMS story better than the words of our patients.

UAMS patient Dr. Julio Olaya, pediatric anesthesiologist, was treated by Dr. Ash Hasan of the UAMS Sports Medicine Clinic.

“I’ve played competitive tennis most of my life but a painful ligament tear I got from working on weights took me off the court,” Dr. Olaya says. “After surgery by Dr. Hasan, I was working out in 2 months and winning tournaments again in 8 months.”
