Dr. Kristy Stepps King, MD

Dr. King showed no sympathy towards me or my thoughts during my stay at Conway Regional. The nurses were amazing, but Dr. King used fear mongering tactics to back me into a corner in terms of options for my care. In a cheery voice implying I could either comply with what she wants or she'd get the court system involved, stripping me of my rights as a legal adult. She saw me as a cutout of all her other patients, completely disregarding my feelings and history. I was already under distress of the event that sent me to the hospital, and she only added to that, causing me to break down in tears over fear. Even after everything was settled and I spoke with nurses and other professionals to find a way out of her care plan, she assumed I'd be back for the reason I came in the first place. Assuming she knows me and what goes through my mind after only speaking to me for about 2min. I was very disappointed with Dr. King's care and would request a different physician upon admission if I needed… to return to Conway Regional.
