The VAMC used to be a great facility. Since Covid they just don’t seem to care any more. Dermatology, podiatry, optometry, Primary Care, Patient Records, Beneficiary Travel, Pain Clinic, even the Patient Advocates all have a don’t care attitude—none of which were interested in helping me overcome my problems over the past three years. I’ve been requesting Community Care whenever I can. I hope they get it back together.

Thank you all who have taken good care of me for the last 4 years. From the staff in the emergency room. 4-6 visits there. The eye care team. Miles in Prosthetics, my Endocrinologist, and to the great one Dr. Scalapino in Rheumatology. The veterans in the Portland area should be thankful they have such good care. A winning formula with the VA partnering with OHSU! We are relocating to Atlanta where in Decatur the VA has a similar system where they are partnered with the infamous Emery University. Thank you all from myself and my wife.

I had an appointment eight days ago, and was told I needed surgery, and some one would be calling me for making an appointment with me. That never happened. I have been calling every day. If I talk to someone,they promise they will leave a message to have someone call me , no one ever calls. This goes on every day. I have been going to the veterans since 1968, and never have I had any trouble. I need to have my prostate operation. Someone please help me out.

If you can get your health care elsewhere do so. Doctors don't give informed consent, difficult to get an appointment, doctors look down on the patients, difficult to get prescriptions and refill. Patients are not listened to or taken seriously. Complaints are as likely to get you banned as to get you help. There are subjects you cannot discuss. I just don't feel like this is Healthcare

Questions & Answers

Is there guest housing for family members from out of state?

Glennis Jensen | Apr 23, 2020
Cornelius M. Booker | Apr 24, 2020

There is no Guest housing for families. The Veteran MAY be provided a hotel room, but they will have to pay up front and then be reimbursed. Only on rare occasions the VA will provide housing.

I want to donate a large big screen tv. It’s not new but it’s big. Anyone at the VA interested? You would need to come get it. This week??? Thanks.

Lou Marks | Apr 24, 2019
James Boyer | Apr 25, 2019

I'm not sure who handles donations to the facility. I would call the main number 503-220-8262 and speak with the operator about who you would go through to donate your television. Thank you for your generosity.

Kevin Zak | Apr 23, 2021

No, the spouses and dependents are not eligible for the vaccine though the VA. Even if the veteran is service connected. It is possible that Tricare or ChampVA might cover it, but I don't know for sure.

Kim Mersereau | Apr 23, 2020

Patient parking is in P1, P2, and P3. The "P" stands for patient. You get to the parking garage by making a left turn just before you get to the main entrance to the Hospital.

Bridget Smith AlmaHausPress | Apr 25, 2019

Debra, you keep asking Google Guides this question like you're gonna get a proper answer. Call 503.220.8262, ask for the VA Patient Advocates and ask them your question. It's important or you wouldn't keep asking. They can help. Debra, you keep making accusations on a forum that doesn't address those things. It's a Maps forum not legal one. Did you even phone? Who did you ask?

Does the VA hospital have an obligation if one of their patients is expressing his homicidal feelings towards a 3rd. party and goes on to say he can make it look like an accident. Do they respect the "duty to warn"

Debra | Apr 24, 2019
Bridget Smith AlmaHausPress | Apr 25, 2019

Sounds like legal question. Ethically and morally they could/should be responsible, but you don't mention who was told, doctor, nurse or therapist... as in who is the 3rd party. Where are you quoting "duty to warn" from? Is that reference from VA or military? Two different bureaucracies. If the VA docs don't know, then they can't be held responsible.

Is there a nail saloon, or any kind of nail care place on the campus for a vet patient to take advantage of?

Gillian Hays | Apr 24, 2019
Bridget Smith AlmaHausPress | Apr 25, 2019

If you're a Patient in hospital I imagine that you ask the nurses for help. If not, you'll have to do that somewhere else. Cafe. Coffee kiosk and a small PX type of store are the only extra amenities available.

Does the VA provide transportation pickup & return home for appointments?

Ginny Howard | Apr 23, 2020
Cornelius M. Booker | Apr 24, 2020

The VA has the Veteran Transportation Service or VTS. It will pick you up for your appointment and drop you back home. They need a 3 business day advance notice and can make your reservations on line at WWW.Vetride.net. Or call their office by dialing the VA Hospital operator, and ask for extension 55044, Veterans Transportation Service

Maybe. To participate in any thing vetted by VA you'll need to be enrolled in system. Call main number & follow prompts to get that done. In lieu of being part of the system, which would be best for future needs so follow up on that. In meantime go to Amazon and check out possible books & audio on program called DBT. It's the best therapy you can do & part of what skills VA would be offering. Good luck. Take care. Do get enrolled.
