I have had very mixed experiences here. Some amazing staff that listened and really wanted to help. Powerades abusive jerks who took pleasure in triggering a flash back. It's the usual mixed bag of garbage the VA gives you these days. They force the patients to wear masks under COVID protocols. They prevent patients from having companions while receiving care under COVID guidelines. But I did not see a single staff member wearing a mask nor a face mask nor taking any COVID preventive steps on themselves. They prevented my companion from joining me but did not offer me a sign language interpreter even when informed of my profound deafness and that my hearing aids were broken. Yet when I did not respond or I did not understand they ER staff on my second visit became very abusive and did everything they could to trigger a flashback so they could put me in the non-compliant category and get rid of me. if you are a combat veteran and if you have any other option don't go there .

Horrible. Even as a 100% er. Calls are not returned. Plus being hung up on, even though I am always respectful when I call.

This facility is outstanding. They run efficiently and are courteous to all who come for care. I have received world class care from the doctors and staff. Always friendly and willing to listen.

Endovascular Surgery. Is it offered at the Providence VA. If so how many do they do, and what is the success rate without complications? Is the facility set up to handle a stroke if there is a complication? Can I go to brigham and Womans. How.

Sharon Hean | Sep 8, 2020
Providence VA Medical Center | Sep 8, 2020

Hi: Yes we have endovascular surgery. If we don't have the specific services you need, or if we cannot provide the services within a reasonable amount of time, we would then arrange for that service at another VA facility or from a private-sector facility. I would make an appointment with your VA primary care provider to discuss these options, as well as the risk of complications for any specific procedure you may need.

can I get a Cdvid vaccine at the VA ?

donald kallio | Sep 8, 2021
Providence VA Medical Center | Sep 8, 2021

Yes, VA care teams will reach out to enrolled Veterans and schedule their vaccinations based on their risk level. We have a dedicated team that is reviewing patient records on a case-by-case basis and actively contacting patients at highest risk of severe illness from COVID-19, starting with the oldest patients and those with conditions specifically identified as placing them at highest risk, and expanding from there based on CDC guidelines, which can be found at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/index.html. There is no need to call for an appointment or come to a facility to sign up – we will contact Veterans when we are scheduling their risk category.

Our patient check-in for mental health out-patients (Veterans reporting to / making an appointment) and mental health urgent care is on the 3rd floor, B-wing. There are also some other mental health clinics located elsewhere on campus, but most of those require a referral and the location will be on the Veteran's appointment card.
