So, I want to be VERY clear, I am NOT a Veteran! However, I live with one who served two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan (2004 - 2008) and was once LUCKY enough to visit this fine establishment. Wow! What an amazing experience! The staff that works here are so kind, polite, diligent, well-trained, respectful, and beyond helpful. Even to silly civilians like me! Thank you so much for all the years of service, Jesse Brown VA Medical Center. You have touched more than just one soldier's life. Thank you!

J. B. V. A. Receptiones are rude, to me due to long light hair and beard. Treat me like a outlaw! Yes! Go sit down, don't even pretend to like they job? I'm available to be there, in 48hrs. Experienced, in dealing with ALL!

I am back in hopes of SOMEONE correcting the situation which is the disgusting, deplorable, unprofessional, terrible, bad, demeaning, inferior, malicious, rude, and non -trained care at Jesse Brown Medical Center. I use the term “care” loosely because the only thing they care about is themselves. Veterans are Guinea pigs so the students can go be doctors at real hospitals. Why I continually ask? I ended up contacting the joint commissions which I found online. The so called doctors and so called care are as valuable and real as a $3 bill. What is it going to take? Again, I only gave 1 stars because that is the lowest to be able to post I am embarrassed to be a veteran if that’s the care we get! The best summarization is the alleged doctors at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center wouldn’t know their -SS from a whole in the ground!

How do I establish care for my father at your facility. He will be arriving from Texas next week.

Raquel Rios-Velazquez | Oct 17, 2021
Oneta Sampson | Oct 17, 2021

You can go to the facility and ask for assistance in preparation for your Father's arrival. Make sure you have his information: social security number, full name when he was active and if you have a copy of his DD 214. The people at the desk will assist you. If he is already receiving services in Texas, you can ask them to transfer and establish the new doctor relationships before he arrives so he doesn't miss any appointments or follow ups.

What's the name of the heart surgeon at 820 s. Damen

sandra Britt | Oct 18, 2018
Chester Copperpot | Oct 18, 2018

There are many within the va system in this area, however as a vet that has had heart problems for many years now and has had a pacemaker with a defibrillator implanted along with 3 cardiac stents I can honestly say that I can advise you to either go to the Milwaukee va hospital or seek out a civilian caregiver Loyola university medical center on roosevelt next to Hines va hospital and Lutheran general on Dempster road are the best in this area. If you are a veteran and want to be actually cared for then ask about the veterans choice program. I wish you all the best and please think twice about the veterans Choice program.
