I thought the ATL VA was bad until I transferred here. Dr Merranda is one of the worst Dr. I've ever seen. I am 100% rated and Disabled via the Social Security Administration. This Dr. blows me off when I bring anything up. He literally told me "it's not that bad." My back and Hip are destroyed. The front of the house usually is decent but a few of them have that typical VA employee attitude and act so appalled when they're rude so you're rude back. The nurses seem to be okay, I haven't really had an issue with them, but they know what these poor quality doctors are doing as as a result, they're complicit in the poor service. This doctor on several occasions has purposely scheduled desired treatment dates 30-45 days in the future so as to avoid having to send me to community care, then, by the time I fix it it's too late and now that 20 something day window is closed. I understand I live in the middle of nowhere but at the same time I'm not asking for anything special. I just want the VA do live up to what they are contractually obligated to do. I did my part of the contract why is it so difficult for them do to theirs? read more
