Life in Little Rock

World-class attractions, great restaurants, outdoor activities and unique neighborhoods make Little Rock an outstanding place to live and work.

Learn More About Our City!

PGY-2 Neil Simmons, M.D.

Come to Little Rock if you love everything to do with nature and the kindest people in the South! Lakes, rivers, parks, mountains, biking trails, and beautiful scenes are abundant here. The people display a type of hospitality that is only found in the south, and they are extremely welcoming to individuals not from the area. Good bars and restaurants are found throughout the city, and there is always something new to try and explore!

Alumni Sean Lam, D.O.

Low cost of living, no traffic (I’m from DFW for comparison) very pretty/natural, I have terrible allergies and the air here is amazing and fresh, and the overall southern hospitality of the town and “chillness.”

Co-Chief Colby Smith, D.O.

Despite leaving Central AR for a while it has always felt like home. Little Rock is small enough for me to feel at home but large enough for me to see all of the pathology I’d ever need.

Alumni Cale White, M.D.

Lots of good food, fun things to do outdoors, exciting places to go for families, traffic is mild and cost of living is very reasonable.
