Surgical unit with a cast of 9 nurses and the orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Ari Pressman. Patient issues:…read moreallergy to textiles, polyester, and a history of DVT. One nurse in particular, Lacey, was in and out of room, all night, making sure compression device was working. Then a mid night visit from the surgeon checking on his handiwork. Angels of mercy are everywhere in the surgical unit: Cheyanne, Alyssa, Taylor,Jessi, Laura, Ashley. Tasha, respiratory expert, made sure patient could breathe throughout the night. Above and beyond? These angels sent out an MIA for a 100 percent cotton bedspread which went missing after surgery. Due to patient polyester allergy, it was of major concern for return of bedspread to patient. Not many cotton items out there. This spread was a lifesaver in the past. To choose to be a nurse where respect is lacking, one must love the job. Thank you angels. EH

This review is based solely on the 3 visits to the ER for my husband. The first was for what was…read morebelieved to be a stroke. He had all the symptoms when I called EMT's. At first, they said it was a TIA. They did NOTHING but give him an IV, and he was in the ER for hours before they did testing to determine it actually WAS a stroke. Then they waited almost a week before surgery on his carotid. The second was for a mild heart attack. Again, it took several hours to get test results while doing NOTHING in the meantime. The third time was for sudden loss of vision in one eye. It was FOUR HOURS before they even had him read an eye chart and almost 90 minutes more to get into an exam room. I'd say at least 40 people were taken in front of him, and he was there several more hours. All they did was examine the eye and give him a reference to an opthamologist. What's bad about that is that sudden vision loss is considered an emergency, especially in a 69 year old diabetic with a history of stroke. He was not treated like a patient. He was treated like an inconvenience.

I am SOOOO DONE with this VA Clinic!! Two weeks ago, I was…read morediagnosed with a serious medical condition, and I was supposed to have someone follow-up with me and also send me two prescriptions. I haven't gotten ANYTHING, nothing in the mail, nobody called me back . . . I'm just waiting and waiting. I am going to take matters into my own hands, and find a new doctor outside of the VA system. It's a travesty how veterans get treated here. I've had problems before, and I just stuck with it, BUT NO MORE . . . I'm done!!! NO CHEERS!!! P.S. Not just this clinic, but the VA in general is very hard to reach by phone. Sometimes you wait 15-20-30 minutes for someone to answer, and oftentimes someone incompetent answers the phone. Once I waited for 30 minutes before someone answered, and I talked to them for about 10 minutes to take some info, and then they transferred me to someone more specific, and wouldn't you know it . . . I was transferred into the same exact menu that I just waited 30 minutes in . . . GRRRRRR!!!!

Picked my son up from school today with a fever and sore throat, couldn't get into his primary care…read morephysician so I thought we could get in and get the necessary treatment at this location. I've been back and forth with my sons insurance carrier for a card (we have NEVER received one) The receptionist this morning was miserable, told me she couldn't find any information on him (when the time that passed was barely 2 minutes) then when I asked about paying out of pocket she said "well it's like $199" so I'm like okay, I'll do that, to which she replied, but if you want us to submit it to your insurance it's actually $240. Well at that I just left. Not that I couldn't afford it, but I felt that she just couldn't be bothered any longer. So we left and went to the ED at Washington hospital, was in and out and they found his insurance information in literally 3 minutes.

How do I go about alerting the right people about this in plain sight DISCRIMINATION!??
