This was one of the greatest medical experiences I’ve ever had with my dad. He’s been a veteran for 32 years and has not used this VA system. We went today to establish care. Everyone went above and beyond. The whole place runs like a well-oiled machine from beginning to end. Keep up the good work!!

Went to the ER at midnight, they promptly saw me and there was practically zero wait time. Wonderful staff. They found the blood clot in my lung and got me the help I needed right away. I will be here for a few days recovering and everyone is very kind and caring. Thanks for everything VA. Much needed service

This hospital and region is a mind virus I can’t deal with. Arbitrary and clueless. That’s not a combo that inspires confidence. Glaring differences between my last functioning, competent, caring and efficient region and whatever bad bulging bureaucracy has ruined this one. If you are moving to this region, know that it is not good. Wave off! Wave off! Something is way wrong. Read recent reviews. My experiences have been ENTIRELY bizarre and FRUSTRATING. Maybe somebody dosed the hand sanitizer. It is…a very strange place. I feel confused when interacting with it, and so thrilled to have made it back to my truck at the end. I’ve figured that, I don’t get it, because there is nothing to get. I think they are on a massive boondoggle, and absolutely full of it. Ask around. Avoid

Why did your hospital staff refuse medical treatment to a Veteran who was in Cardiac arrest and later died at a Civilian hospital. Shame on your hospital and staff.

Rick Amin | Jun 24, 2022
martin marszalek | Jun 24, 2022

I think it's crazy too! Regardless of his veteran status the Dr's and nursing staff had the obligation to provide emergency stabilizing treatment by law. They not only failed another veteran and cost him his life, but they also broke the law. Everyone involved in his none-care should be fired, and charged. We deserve better! My personal experiences there have always been pretty good.

How do I cancel an appointment?

Patrick Monagle | Sep 22, 2021
R. Mach | Oct 27, 2021

I am having the same problem. I have called them at least 9 times over the past couple of weeks to reschedule an appointment that is supposed to take place next week. It is an appointment with a specialty clinic. Every time I call, I wait for 5-15 minutes to talk to an operator. When I finally get in touch with the operator, I ask to be transferred to the appropriate department. They transfer me, but once I'm transferred to the specialty clinic, there is an automated message and then the call gets ended automatically. Very annoying.

How do you know which parking garage to park in We are going to cardiology

Shannon Beddard | Sep 22, 2021
David Carman | Sep 22, 2021

I have never used the garage. There is a disabled parking lot that is covered where you can park (if you have a disabled parking permit). There is also an small uncovered parking area between the disabled area and the garage. A closer parking area called the "honor lot" is closer to the entrance. Just drive around the parking areas until you find a spot. Plan on 15 to 30 minutes to find a parking spot.

Is there program for homeless veteran or domiciliary

Walter Church | Sep 22, 2020
Jason Butnor | Sep 22, 2020

Homeless veterans have some varied options in Gainesville FL. There is a VA only shelter at Grace Market Place that is clean and secure. It has a limited number of beds but it was available when I needed it after my apartment got condemned due to water damage. There are also other options that depending on your age might be better. The link below has a lot of information but should be useful to you. Personally I'd say Ocala has the best Veterans Homeless care for long term support based on how they treated my Uncle as he got older. But here's that link and good luck. https://www.northflorida.va.gov/NORTHFLORIDA/services/homeless/index.asp

If you are not able to move call 911 and tell the first responders that you want to be taken to Malcolm Randall VA Hospital. If you can move despite the pain then go to the ER. At different times the wait can be fairly long. I don't know the best time to go. Once,I was seen immediately, other time up to 4-6 hours. Depends on your severity and how serious those ahead of you are.
