Customer service through the phone is beyond terrible. Not just once, every single time. ER staff as well acts like your an annoyance. The best VA hospital I been to was the Bay Area, this one star is in hope of them correcting their customer service. I’m not giving the doctors one star, I believe they have great care from my understanding. I’ll change this rating as soon as I see a change through their operators over the phone.

I went to the walk in psyche dept for a RX of Xanax, my health care system only provides 0.25 doses, yet VA has previously RX 0.50. So I run out fast if I have more the normal panic attacks. Dr. Timnak understood, but said he could only give me RX 0.25 without a followup. I understood. He asked about my Prozac and was it working. MY reply was no, and I wish I had something that would for my PTSD. He suggested Zoloft. I told him years ago a urologist had RX it for me, and it worked great. He said he would start me on a low dose to see if it works, and I should tell the provider that would be giving to me on a later date. The Dr. Timnak was excellent. Unfortunately, It multiplied my anxiety by ten. Thought maybe it was to close to the Prozac doses, so I stopped for 7 days cold turkey(everything). At the beginning of the eighth day, I started the Zoloft again. Same results. So I stopped again .but didn't know if or when to start the Prozac again. So, like any other consumer, I tried to call the pharmacy for guidance. Only to be placed in a vicious loop that no one would answer. Tried to call the walk in clinic and was given to inpatient psyche ward. Which I was told "not my job' you got the wrong place. This continued for about 12-15 times. Called crisis line and mine you each person concern asked do I feel like I was going to kill myself or someone else. When the reply was No. The immediate need was no longer an option.(Did I need to say yes). After working in the Hospital field for over 50 years, I get it . The capabilities that are placed on personnel today is legally devastating. But you are dealing with individuals who were willing to lay down their lives. Surly, you can come up with a system that won't promote an environment where a veteran would get to the point to hurt him/her self or anyone else. Either you guys don't get it or forgot this frustration is where it starts. I'm sure in about 3-4 months from now, someone for my appointment will tell me exactly what I should do. Meantime my health and social life is on hold, oh did I mention the anxiety feels like it's that's about to come through my chest. There are so many options, go to the emergency room and start from scratch, or go back to the walk in and start from scratch. Really it's not that hard, run the scenarios or even better put yourself in our place.

My grandfather spent the last week of his life here. He was first admitted to the emergency room, from there to the ICU, to the community living center and finally in palliative care. I was able to see a lot of the hospital and meet a lot of people here. Some people were kind and helpful, others not so much. My biggest complaint is that they need to figure out a better way for people to visit relatives that are dying. I spent hours each day sitting in a plastic chair in the hallway waiting to see my grandfather only to be told that they forgot about me. Two days in a row I waited two hours just to be allowed to see him for 30 minutes (until he went to the community living center - then we were given unlimited amount of time). Some workers were helpful, especially Erik that does the Covid checks when you first enter. He was the only one that actually put an effort in for us to be able to see my grandfather.

I'm not sure if you could ask to have him transferred to the VA, some outside hospitals transfer our Vets to the VA. I obviously don't know the whole story but I'm a Podiatry Resident at the VA and I'm sure he'd get the care he needs.
