UAMS Physician Mixes Humor with Good Medicine

Julio Hochberg, M.D., knows that laughter really is the best medicine.

A plastic surgeon at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), Hochberg has made it a practice to bring a smile to his patients’ faces, while also easing their fears about their medical condition.
