This is a complaint specifically for the Allergy Testing Clinic. The white man with glasses working the Check In/Out area on June 30th around 12pm. I was checking out when he asked me, “Are you travel?” To which I responded, “I’m not sure what that is.” He replied, “If you don’t know what it is then it doesn’t apply to you.” Confused as to why he wouldn’t explain it to me I called the main VA hospital line and spoke with a much nicer gentleman who explained to me what the benefit entails and as it turns out it did apply to me. Not only was this my very first time at this VA clinic. It was the second appointment I have had overall since moving to Florida where I now have to travel over an hour to get to my appointments. I do not appreciate being dismissed like that for simply not knowing. I have asked fellow veterans if they were aware of this benefit and to no surprise they weren’t aware of it either. Furthermore, had a veteran walked in with a cognitive disability, TBI, or other memory impairment it would greatly benefit them to know the details of the question and what they are entitled to. It is widely known that veterans don’t know the entirety of their benefits from one place to the next, and dismissing them only amplifies the disappointment we have towards the organization known for not giving its veterans what they need. If you’re a veteran and you’re reading this know that you may be eligible for travel reimbursement if- You have a VA disability rating of 30% or higher, or You’re traveling for treatment of a service-connected condition, even if your VA disability rating is less than 30%, or You receive a VA pension, or You have an income that’s below the maximum annual VA pension rate, or You can’t afford to pay for your travel, as defined by our guidelines, or You’re traveling for one of these reasons: A scheduled VA claim exam (also called a compensation and pension, or C&P, exam), to get a service dog, or for VA-approved transplant care

For three years I had a primary care provider at James Haley do absolutely nothing for me. This person would turn the computer monitor around and heckle me about my weight. They accused me of lying when I went in for help for my service connected disabilities. This person refused me allergy testing unless I got rid of my cats (I've never been allergic to cats or any animals). My conditions grew worse and I begged for help but they didn't care. Now I can no longer work because my nerve damage is so bad from the lack of help that I have chronic pain migraines and problems walking etc. Thankfully this primary retired, but many veterans such as myself continue to suffer without adequate care. I have since moved, had a wonderful doctor, yet they left and now back to square one. I used to get an appointment within a week or less now it's a month if I'm lucky and specialty clinics forget it, you'll wait several months to a year. Community care is a pain with them and their gynecologist is rude and lazy. I requested her to do a hysterectomy as I've been suffering for years but she gave me the cold shoulder and every poor excuse in the book as to why she's too lazy to do that. Plus, I felt she discriminated me.

This is the best VA hospital I've experienced. Everyone is very helpful, kind, and genuinely cares for veterans. The spinal cord injury unit is top shelf! They have checked off every block and then some. I'm very impressed and would recommend this VA to any veteran. Keep up the high standards!!

We moved to Florida 8 years ago and my husband began getting treatment at James A. Haley Veterans Hospital. We cannot say enough about this hospital, the personal service, attention and caring that they provide to my husband is unbelievable. Their follow-ups to appointments and their follow-up calls to respond with any questions is the best. We are very satisfied with this hospital. We need a little patience with them, as they are trying to get the best services they can provide to all Veterans, especially during these pandemic times. They are heroes who continue to their job, always thinking of their patients first. Thanks to all involved in my husband's health. 'KUDOS' to all, you are very much appreciated.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

What about parking

Donald Jones | Aug 23, 2020
Darvel Harral | Aug 23, 2021

Overflow parking is best bet Located on 131st across from Walmart's. Shuttle every 15 min. Different shuttle depending where you want to go, front door, ER area, SCI, parking garage, etc. Valet parking at this offsite FREEDOM lot. Best bet is if possible schedule on weekends. I schedule all my MRIs and CT Scans on weekends, less traffic on Interstate hiways and parking is loosened up.
