“UAMS Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine is the most advanced and comprehensive system to treat musculoskeletal problems in Arkansas,” Randolph said. “I am excited to be part of such a prestigious team and know that together we can continue my personal mission of returning patients to their best quality of life and activity.”
