| LITTLE ROCK – Gilbert-Roy Kamoga, MD, has joined the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) as an internist in the UAMS Health Internal Medicine Clinic on the UAMS Northwest Regional Campus in Fayetteville.
“We were excited to have Dr. Kamoga to join our internal medicine team in Northwest Arkansas,” said Stephanie Kruger, MHA, senior administrative services director for the region. “Northwest Arkansas is growing rapidly, but without more providers, the community risks falling behind in ensuring the health and well-being of its people. Access to primary care is the basis of a thriving, healthy region.”
Kamoga, a specialist in internal medicine, is currently accepting new patients. Call (479) 713-8701 for an appointment. The clinic’s opening hours are Monday to Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Thursday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The clinic is located at 1125 N. College Ave. in Fayetteville.
Kamoga is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians. Kamoga received his medical degree from Mbarara University of Science and Technology in Uganda, followed by completing his Internal Medicine Residency at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio. With more than 15 years of experience as a hospitalist and general internist, he has held key positions including Program Director of the Internal Medicine Residency at White River Health in Arkansas. Now at UAMS, Kamoga is committed to shaping the future of medicine by training the next generation of internal medicine physicians.
Internal medicine focuses on the health and care of adults. Internal medicine doctors, or internists, specialize in diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases in people age 18 and older. They treat a wide range of conditions, including common diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as more complex problems with the heart, lungs and other organs. In addition, they coordinate care with specialists. Whether a patient needs a cardiologist for heart problems or a gastroenterologist for digestive problems, internal medicine doctors ensure that all aspects of care work together. The UAMS Northwest Internal Medicine Clinic in Fayetteville is dedicated to helping adults stay healthy at every stage of life.
The UAMS Northwest Regional Campus includes 356 medical, pharmacy, nursing and healthcare students, 80 medical and pharmacy residents and two sports medicine students. The campus has 13 clinics, including internal medicine and family medicine, a student-run clinic, orthopedics and sports medicine, behavioral health/psychiatry, geriatrics, genetic counseling, transplant follow-up, and physical, occupational and speech therapy.
