The VA in general seems to catch a lot of flack for not being the best health care, but from my personal experience with my father having a brain tumor currently, and needing immediate treatment the VA in Sacramento(where we started) and in the San Francisco location has been phenomenal. The staff and doctors in the Sacramento ER were courteous, professional, and all around just great. We brought him into the Sacramento VA 2 nights ago and that night they got him in an ambulance and sent to San Franciso to see a neurologist so that they could treat the tumor. The 1st day he was in San Francisco he met with a team of neurologist and the next day a cardic team and internal medicine team. They have been very fortcoming with information and treatment plans and super compassionate. The other private ER we went basically told us we need to go somewhere else since we'd have to pay cash for any treatment. I am very confident in the quality of care and treatment he will be getting from the VA. I appreciate all the staff here and am so thankful he is around people thay seem to care a great deal about him.

The entire staff at this facility are great . They are all professional and work as a great team . They made me feel safe and very positive to get me through my lung cancer . They acted fast and as a result I am cancer free . I cannot thank everyone at the VAMC enough for helping me .

I was a patient at Ft Miley for 20 years 1995-2015. The care received was the best, top quality. I acknowledge and thank God, for his love, grace, mercy, and divine Word of protection, for keeping me from death! Dr. Tierney was a Godsend to manage my care and act as my PCP. Other than his advanced medical skill and knowledge, the blessing that made the difference is that he cared for the patient, the Vet; me! He listened. No system is perfect, but my experience was a blessing. I experienced near death numerous times, but God, and Dr. T's intervention enabled me to be, and say thank you Ft. Miley, and USF Medical Coronary Staff. Many times we expect man and his technology to perform miracles; but too often forget it is God, Elohim that created the heavens and the earth, and made man and woman and breathed life into him. God thank you!

Questions & Answers

My husband is a former Marine who served honorably for 4 years in the 1980’s. Does he qualify for VA medical services?

Get his discharge papers from the nearest VA Service office. Most major town have one. The person at the service office can make the initial evaluation appointment. After the vet is seen and his problems noted you go to the nearest VA clinic for an initial in take. Once you have a primary doctor he can make referrals to the hospital usually picking the pressing problem first. I know it sounds like a lot of running around but the VA runs on paperwork. Im glad to help if you have any more questions. Good luck Brenda

Does this VA have parking for RVs on the campus? My Son lives 3 hours away and will be starting Cancer Tx

susann Basta | Aug 21, 2019
David Reiss | Aug 21, 2019

Yes, there is an area along the back fence, overlooking the Bay. There are no gas/water/electric or septic service hookups here, so you're on your own in respect to that. Go register with the campus police first, and get permission to stay. They will give you a placard for your dashboard. Back in parking only. The lot is dirt/gravel. But you will be treated to an amazing view of the Bay, Napa valley across the bay, The Golden Gate bridge, and parts of San Francisco. There is also a great cafeteria in the main building, looking over the Bay. There are tables outside for Francesco. Enjoy. I hope everything goes well with your son.

lookin for "motel" try 'HI' international. They have dorm rooms, cont. breakfast, shared faclities, locker rooms, and there are 3 on bus routes. Either buy instant membership $25 /yr +1 free 3rd day or around +3 each day you stay $30&^ depending on availability. Unsure but helps to check if they offer "Vet" benefits. . Good luck! norma RN

The SFVAMC used to be Fort Miley... Army Base... I believe. Located near the NW corner of SF, across the bay from Marin Headlands, which is near what used to be another military base, but is now a childrens' museum of sorts.

Debra Williams | Aug 21, 2019

No, but if the veteran will be an inpatient, you could ask about one person staying with the veteran in the room, if it's a private room. I'd ask the clinic staff about options.
