I have always been treated well, on occasion I have encountered a staff member having a bad day and them directing that bad day at a patient, I view that as something that is happening everyday at every place of business across America so I don't judge the entire Wilkes Barre VA medical center based on a random encounter with a disgruntled employee, It would be quite naïve to do so. I would never want my entire existence to be based on only my less then happy days.

Have been treated at the VA since 1983 every one takes care of my health. All of the care is great thank all for your care you give us. God bless all of you

Horrible experience. Moved back from Florida and work in PA during the weak and stay here. I made an appointment with VA to get my form signed by my Doctor. Horrible way they treat you. Berate you on the phone and basically dont want to help you. They make it essentially impossible to get form signed. I guess the doctors are no competent enough so they basically make it impossible to deal with them. This is not first time with bad experience here. Miserable place to go. Dr Mansuri was the doctor who of course would not get on the phone.

It is highly recommended that you see a PCP and ask them for the consult to the specialist, but the person must also be a veteran. You can call the VA to ask the same question of eligibility for more details.
