It surely isn't what you expect when you think of " The VA" . From the moment I arrived in the ER until I was discharged a few hours later, it was nothing but first class service and care unlike any I have ever experienced. Every single person was friendly, understanding and compassionate. The CT and Ultrasound Techs needed to be called in after working all day, and my primary nurse was being mandated to work till midnight. Despite the hardship on their end, they were amazing, and not only to me, but to each individual under their care. Veterans are being served well by the wonderful folks at the Stratton VA...thanks to all of you!

Hospital, techs, nurses I'd give a 4. But has anyone had the bad luck of having to stay a night at the stratton inn on the 9th floor ?? Yes its free, yes that helps when you have 2 visits back to back and can't afford gas to drive it 4 times.BuT.. The inn is horrible. It is clean that's why a 2 rating . we were lied to and told my husband and I could order our food from choices they would have. WRONG the vet gets a tray but no choice of what it is, the caregiver or wife like me does not. Instead they plopped a can of soup on the counter and there ya go. Next the beds are rock hard so if you have back, hip or stroke problems don't even try. There is one public shower and only a few rooms have a toilet. The thermostat read 79 and a.c. was non existent. And window opened about 3 inches.there is WiFi but no internet so if you bring a nook or laptop or phone without data leave it in the car.so couldn't get in touch with family to let them know their dad was ok. Phone in room would not call out and when I asked how to do it ,got snapped at and told and told this isn't a hotel you know. Yes I know its not,its a space to stay when there's a need but is it really worth it when what your told is lies and rudeness is rampant.. Never again . we left came home and will borrow the funds to get back again.

I'm a VA Healthcare Enrollee and a US Navy Veteran. The service and care provided to me since I've been out of the military has been remarkable. They have really changed for best. The Stratton VA Medical Center provides specialized medical services such as: cardiac catheterization, cardiac rehabilitation, nuclear medicine, radiation oncology, stereotactic radiosurgery, hospice/palliative care, adult day health care, post-traumatic stress disorder, compensated work therapy, memory clinic, geriatric assessment, nursing home and respite care.

If you are a veteran, this is your one stop shop. Staff are caring and professional. Facilities are clean and comfortable. I brought my WWII father here for primary care, ophthalmology, optometry, audiology and podiatry. Was very happy with our experience - You will be too.

Questions & Answers

What is the issue in the VA cafeteria? The majority of food that's served is not as healthy as you would expect for the price. The vending machine in the cafe has better selections and cheaper too. Where is the toaster? Joe

Is there valet parking for Veterans that are disabled?

wayne hubbell | Sep 5, 2021
Kyongcha Sepulveda | Sep 5, 2021

No valet parking that could see. However, a person with a Golf Cart will pick you up at your vehicle, if needed. The Parking Lot is not very well organized and the pavement is not clearly marked for each vehicle. It needs work.
