    I've been in 6 other VA regional systems and the Reno VA is the best. I always get great care and am treated very respectfully.

    I was obtaining a referral for an ENT specialist in Reno and was initially referred to a provider…read more Unfortunately, I later discovered that the ENT office no longer accepts Aetna, which created an unexpected setback. As a result, I had to call back a second and third time. Both Lacy and Caitlyn were incredibly patient, caring, and friendly throughout the entire process. They took the time to answer all of my questions, provided the information I needed, and promptly submitted a new referral so I could be seen. Lacy and Caitlyn didn't stop there--they went above and beyond by providing additional resources and helping me explore other options. I truly appreciate their kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help. Thank you both for making what could have been a frustrating experience much easier to navigate!

    Our experience on the medical-surgical floor was appalling. My family member was placed in an…read moreextremely cramped room with two elderly homeless patients from a shelter who were belligerent, fighting, screaming, and yelling at staff. One used a bedside commode only inches from her bed. The environment was chaotic, frightening, and completely lacking in privacy. After we requested a different room, she was left in a public family waiting room for more than three hours. Basic requests for water and assistance with painful, bloody IVs were repeatedly ignored. Nurse Camille was rude, confrontational, and dismissive of legitimate medical concerns. When we attempted to escalate those concerns, Charge Nurse Grace supported Camille rather than helping us obtain appropriate medical attention. Most disturbing, Grace repeatedly refused and physically blocked our attempts to speak with the House Supervisor. She told us, "He will not come down for this. He is going to follow my leadership." She also responded to our concerns with, "It is what it is." A charge nurse should help patients access the appropriate chain of command--not stand in the way of it. The lack of compassion, professionalism, privacy, and concern for patient safety on this medical-surgical floor was shocking.

    I am a doctoral candidate and a professional who expects a basic level of clinical competence…read more After a previous provider at this facility, Lynette Rossback, failed to meet the standard of care, I was told I would be transferred to the "most competent doctor they have." My experience with Dr. Saba Mohammed proved that statement to be entirely false. It was a complete failure of medical ethics. Instead of investigating peer reviewed literature or acknowledging my documented history, Dr. Saba Mohammed defaulted to a "delusional disorder" diagnosis. This is blatant medical gaslighting. It is an attempt to pathologize a patient who is well-educated on their own condition because the provider is unable to keep up with modern research. If you have a complex illness and you are smarter than your average physician, stay away. This office would rather label you as mentally ill than do the work to understand a multi-system physiological issue. Dr. Saba Mohammed is not the most competent doctor they have. He is not competent at all. This is a provider who retreats into psychiatric labels when they are out of their depth and incapable of doing their actual job or using any level of critical thinking whatsoever.

    I didn't even know I had OCD until a little while before starting Thrive 's Anxiety/OCD program…read more Turns out it's an incredibly misunderstood disorder in normal society. I myself a little cocktail of ADHD, GAD, CPTSD, MDD, and ~OCD. I won't lie to you, exposure therapy is the hardest thing I've ever done. However, the differences between when I started and when I graduated? Freaking astounding. I was not even leaving my house anymore. The pressure of conforming to society and worrying and force masking myself to please whoever I was around wore me paper thin. OCD was making my life smaller and smaller every year. But now, after showing up and continuing to try things that specifically made my skin crawl and learned how to sit with it, I am back to living a relatively normal life. I leave my home whenever I have to (sometimes I even WANT TO ) and I'm back to handling whatever life throws at me without compulsing and avoiding for hours every day. Even rehearsing, masking, and people pleasing are at an all time low for me. I'm so much more comfortable being authentic. It's the hardest most confusing work I've ever done, but by gum it does the trick.

    After entering the program I can honestly say I was entirely skeptical. Nothing about this program…read moremade sense to me. Until it did. I stuck with it, and I did the hard work. My life is far from being where I want it to be, and so incredibly different from where it was when I entered. They have a holistic approach for the most part, focusing on the whole picture, not just bits and pieces...symptoms. They allow me to make payments, interest free and not once have I felt this was money ill spent. I would gladly pay double to get the piece that I have gained from this incredible group of humans, who actually care. This isn't just. Job to them. It's a way of life and my life was forever changed by them.

    Was seen at Northern Nevada later in the evening that morning I had gone to Saint Mary's, which I…read morewas very unhappy with Dgave me an antibiotic for some pain in the stomach area and belly button which had some pus and a little fluid coming out. I also have a pain in my right groin area lower back, which could radiate from who knows where but St. Mary's just sent me out with an antibiotic no further test for MRI or CT so later that evening still does not feel good northern about it. I was very happy with the staff that night from the receptionist to the door watchmen was friendly and welcoming the doctor on call. She was very attentive and listened and addressed the problem right away order the CT and bloodwork thank you Jesus everything came out pretty normal other than there is an abdominal tear in the belly button area which I will further seek treatment with future doctors need it but the experience I had was great for the most part, they were fast was a slow night so that explains while I was in so fast, but they were very caring attentive and took the time to answer questions. Bring us some water bring us some towels and overall I give them a four star and I will follow up for further treatment with other doctors, I will not go back to St. Mary's again.!

    This location of the Northern Nevada ER was an absolutely horrible experience…read more My husband Was having a very painful experience with a Kidney stone. His pain levels escalated to a level 10 immediately after arriving at the location at Maeann and Mccarren here in reno around 5pm. We were put in a room in the front part of this facility where we could clearly see people working. I kept asking when he would be seen, I told them he was in horrible pain. I watched the so called nurses ignore us Intentionally, they were eating, avoiding eye contact etc. Never once did they show compassion. The Doctor sat at his computer eating and apparently we had shown up at a very inconvenient time shift change, however, from what i could see all of the other cubicles were empty! They were not busy, but they were discustingly uninterested in helping Erik. They finally sent someone in 3 hours after we arrived to administer a pain med but, she forgot to hook the med up to his IV. When I went out saying what the heck, my husband is writhing in pain and you all are doing your best to ignore his situation. They sent a security guard to make tell me to go sit down and wait. We were there 6 hours. This was in February 2026, we just received a billing stating my husband had no insurance coverage for that visit. We provided them with all of the information for insurance Etc. This management sucks ass!!

    The initial appointment is almost impossible to get but I'm not sure they have a fair way to make…read moreit any better. The need just GREATLY outweighs the supply. If they were keeping a waiting list I'd most likely still be waiting. We need national health care for real. I will say the doctors are often rushed off their feet so when somebody like me comes in with an A1c of 7 after 2 unmedicated years, they don't really have a lot of time for me. They have a lot sicker patients with a lot fewer resources who need their time more. I'm on disability so coming here for me is mostly a question of "who will take my medicaid without charging me extra". I will note that the dispensary on the first floor has ONE employee on the desk who always seems to be there when I go in, and he ROUTINELY hides my meds. I'm not kidding. He won't put my name on the monitor and he won't tell me when my meds are ready for pickup. Other people come and go and he ALWAYS leaves me sitting there. I have NEVER had any sort of argument with this guy, he just targets me for reasons that are unclear and doubtless totally random. Once I sat there for 2 hours, he went away and someone else came on and the FIRST THING the new person did was notice my medication and call my name. It had apparently been sitting there for over an hour. Last time he dispensed only ONE MONTH'S worth of my medication when it was written for 3 months, then he refused to correct it and told me I would just have to pay extra to get the other 2 months. It costs more to get it one month at a time. He told me it would take an hour or two to correct the way he had dispensed it. It was 5 PM and I had already been sitting there for over an hour so I just took it and left. So because there is this one weirdo who always seems to be on duty whenever I need to pick up my meds, I don't get them there any more. He gets zero stars, but since EVERYBODY ELSE there seems normal, I'm excluding him from my rating. In general my experience here has been that they are overburdened, but the doctor I have dealt with, while rushed, at least gets me the meds I need (thyroid and diabetes) without arguing with me (last doc I went to for thyroid meds tried to force me to change them). There is a review here from a mother who was just shit on by her kid's doctor. 105 is a dangerously high fever and any doc who suggests otherwise is a dangerously stupid doctor. So you might want to avoid that guy assuming he's still there. Personally I just need somebody to give me prescriptions for the totally non-recreational meds I need without charging me $200 for the office visit. As for "ethnic" issues, y'all need to stop being freakin' bigots. I guess a lot of the people there may be Hispanic, I didn't count and barely notice that kind of thing anyway. I am DEFINITELY NOT Hispanic, I have a clearly non-Hispanic name, and being or not being Hispanic has never ever even remotely been an issue. The one jackass there in the pharmacy seems like an average chubby white guy to me. He could be Hispanic, who knows. Whatever ethnic background anybody there might hail from, it's never been an issue or even noticeable - unless you're a bigot who assumes all brown people MUST be HIspanic or Latino or A Dirty Mexican or some other stupidity. Nobody's being discriminated against there because they're not Hispanic/Latino/a. There's a big difference between being discriminated AGAINST and not getting the preferential treatment you think you deserve for being born a paleskin. Get over it.

    I am very disappointed with the service today, Friday, August 7. I called the pharmacy before…read morecoming, and the employee told me they closed at 5:00 PM. However, when I arrived, the doors were already locked about 5 minutes early. There were only a couple of people outside waiting to pick up their medications. I spoke with an employee, and he told me they close 5 minutes early. This is unacceptable. I drove 20 minutes to pick up my medication based on the hours provided. If your hours are until 5:00 PM, they should be respected. If you actually close at 4:55 PM, then the posted hours need to be changed. I will be coming in on Monday to discuss this issue because patients should not waste their time and travel based on incorrect information.
