Dental is absolutely negligible. I have been waiting 6 months to have a broken tooth removed and an implant inserted. It has taken 6 months to been seen by a dentist!!! read more

I started receiving my care through the VA while attending grad school in Phoenix Arizona, back in 2006. I was really surprised when the Phoenix VA received, all the bad publicity. I was a little taken back, because I found the process starting to work with the VA painless and swift. Fast forward 18 years, I have received services at 6 different VAs and never had a disruption in service. My care has always been personal, timely, my appointments have always started on time, the team would spend an hour with me and they reviewed all my medical issues, each time I visited. My doctors have always been what I consider 5 stars. As an example, I went to the hospital with extreme pain in my chest. My primary doctor was for some reason in the ED. She say me and came in and ask what was going on. After I told her she went out and told the ED doctor assign my case. My entire medical history of heart disease, including, my extended family, parents and grandparents. When doctors take time to be an expert on their patients health you will get the best care possible. They have that high level view that allows them to better diagnose you. read more

This place is not worth going to get treatment for Veterans. They don't care about their Veterans, and it disgusts me how they treat them. They could be dead or advanced in their disability before they get the help they need. All this place does is give you the run around and makes you go through hoops. I'm so furious that my husband is a disabled veteran and he cannot get the help he needs for his sleep issues. All they want to do is have him try a stinking CPAP machine to see if it helps. It is not going to help because there is more going on with my husband. I know him. And there is medication that can help with his sleep issues, but their first line of therapy is a stupid machine. Also, he was supposed to have an appointment with the Sleep Clinic, but it got canceled due to the person he was supposed to see was sick. I understand that it is not the person's fault that they are sick. However, I feel like my husband is getting punished and having to suffer more when he has to wait until April 2025 to be seen. That is ridiculous and insane. That goes to show they do not care. No need to talk to patient experience because you still feel like you don't get anywhere or still cannot get the help you need any sooner. read more

Lowes home-improvement in Apex North Carolina provides great service and has a good assortment of items that the average person needs for their home and repair work. More specially i love the fact that I get a 10% discount on all my purchases as a veteran not just on certain days but every day they think their bedrooms and they show it by giving them a 10% discount. No other home-improvement company that I know of offers that discount and I thank you every day you shop with them. And to boot there in North Carolina homegrown business. Got to love NC. read more

Great doctors, lousy wait time if ER. I must say that this VA has the best OEF clinic. Speech pathology rocks, and I loved that my foot doctor was able to diagnose a skin problem that dermatology cannot. Only wished the VA had a better dermatology clinic. If I was reviewing that clinic alone I would give a half star however I love all the other doctors so dermatology gets a free pass. read more

if you are a veteran of any military branch you should consider becoming a member of the Veterans Administration. So many medical services typically much better than in the private sector - and affordable. In order to use the Veterans Administration you must first fill a VA Form 10-10EZ (usually found online). Once this is completed you will be contacted by the VA to schedule an appointment. read more

All jokes aside. The VA has a giant task. They've treated me with respect and reasonable compared to civilian places.

I am extremely pleased with the care that I have received. Whether it was from my days in the Navy or if I did it myself. Very professional and sympathetic staff. Thanks to all of you for what you do. read more

I've had such positive experiences previously but I must vent. When the outpatient clinics tied to this VA change their business, they must be communicated to their patients! I spent nearly an hour surfing the Medical Center and Clinics websites attempting to find hours of operation. The best i could find was Virginia clinics' hours. So I tell my employer I'm going to be in a little late because i need a Lab drawn. I arrive at 7:55 only to find they extended their hours by opening at 7am. So instead of a quick Lab draw, I'm sitting here waiting ~90 minutes behind the 15 people that somehow knew the Clinic opened at 7am now. $45- in lost wages for what should be a 5 minute Lab procedure! read more

Well. I relocated from another state. I was assigned an outside clinic CBOC (2600 Atlantic Ave location). The LPN was pleasant and punctual, the MSA staff were so close to one another that every bit of open space heard all the loudness and PII information, it made me uneasy. Now as for the PCP I was provided he was 47 min late for my initial 1hr appt and gave me a quick 9 min of his time. Very disappointing, if it was a time where he needed to leave early or address other things I much rather of heard that. If the actual reviews and audits were done for the doctors across the board at the VA I believe it would be a bit different. I didn't even get looked at by him and he repeated to tell me the VA won't see you for that but yet I have in the past and wait are we not supposed to be trying to utilize this care more. I am utterly applaud and disgusted by the behavior that I encountered. Great first impression! As a veteran I am not entitled I earned those things afforded to me and I know the hospitals and clinics wouldn't be open therefore leaving the Medical field without jobs. Also to NOTE Do Not show up late to my appt if I get looked at as horrible for it and I am on medical retirement then my compensation gets taking away. SMH! One day just one day it shall get better or SHOULD. read more

It's no 5 star facility, but then what VA is? The staff seem pretty secure in their jobs, so that may explain why they think they can do whatever they want. I've met some really nasty staff members here, but then there are those really good at their job, and enjoy helping this population of people, none of them included the veterans that work there. So glad that people were fired, and new people came in to clean up after the greedy, lazy people that ran the VA. Great job, keep firing those lazy, incompetent staffers that don't care to help veterans. read more
