I just back from my follow up after having a surgery, I wanna send a huge THANK YOU to Dr Renninger (ORTHO TRAUMA) for a beautiful job he did along all the staff that help out with it.. I had a broken ankle and he was very professional and caring, he listened and answered all my questions and my scar look amazing. I can't be more happier. Thank again for ur hard work.!

You have lost all credibility.... don trump and his unfit doctored should be ask to leave! You are allowing them to put your other patients at risk not to mention the other doctors and nurses that work at your hospital. Disgraceful!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Who qualifies for care at Walter Reed National Military Medical Hospital? Thank you!

Basel Fowler | Sep 23, 2019
Destini H | Sep 22, 2021

Most likely Active Duty military, Veterans, and their dependents. Maybe DoD civilians and their dependents but I'm unsure about that.

I'm military with ID. My father will be driving me to visit my military spouse that is in the hospital, but he doesnt have military credentials. Do we need to go to the visitor center before trying to access or am I able to sponsor him with my ID?

Emily Zatkiewicz | Sep 22, 2021
Julius Ellison | Sep 22, 2021

On every military post, it will depend upon what the threat level is on that base. If it is FPCON Charlie, then yes your dad will need a pass. It is always safe to call ahead.

Elyon Vertrees | Sep 23, 2019

What do you need to know?

USMC son just stationed at Quantico and needs ear surgery. How does he get to see an ENT and schedule it after being seen by our personal ENT in the private sector while on leave and being diagnosed "unsafe ears" and in need of double ear surgery?

Wendy Patterson | Sep 23, 2019
Joseph Wulf | Sep 23, 2019

He must have the private medical report brought to his military Dr, or give them some method for his military Dr to get it---OR, simply see his military Dr new/fresh. His military Dr has discretion to further evaluate his condition and to proscribe the same or a different procedure.

How do I get my mom transferred to Walter Reed from a civilian hospital

Pamala Jones | Sep 23, 2018
Bree Nox | Sep 22, 2020

I know this was 2 years ago.... But unless your Mom is Military herself, or a Dependent (like your Dad is either AD or Retired Military), I don't think they'll offer any services to her. It's a small military base, with a Medical Care Center and Hospital in it, and it is a major "teaching hospital" for those in the US Army, Air Force, and Navy... Thus, like all Military Hospitals, they only see AD Military Members, Reserve Members, Retired Military Personnel/Veterans, and then of course their Dependants, which usually only includes their Spouse (if they have one), and any/all children (if they have any - Biological or Adopted - it doesn't matter, or have some who are still in their care, or if they are legal guardians for like in the case of Foster Care,), etc,. Usually anyone living with them who is enrolled in DEERS (with the military member as their sponsor), and is also considered immediate family and is listed on their LES, etc, as a Dependant.

And if a soldier is in the special forces fighting in Syria, and in the USA there is a family member in Critical illness situation the soldier can return to be with his family member?

Martha E Hernandez | Sep 23, 2017
Bree Nox | Sep 22, 2020

In situations like these you always want to contact the Red Cross and let them know what is going on. As the soldier may not know what is going on, or be able to contact the Red Cross themselves. If you do, they can then get in contact with the Soldier, and also the soldier's chain of command, that way they're aware of the situation. From there usually the Red Cross will arrange/pay for him to be sent home, (depending on the family member and type of illness/severity of the illness), to be with said ill family member, and the rest of the family for support and to help provide care for, the member of the family who's ill.
