It's unfortunate to hear these bad stories I'm thinking about moving to that area and one of the reasons is I want to be close to the VA I guess this makes me appreciate the one I go to now I live in Gainesville Florida that's in North Florida and the VA used to be kind of dirty and the care was not so great and the staff were just disrespectful and rude and in the last few years down here that's all changed it's top notch it's all cleaned up the staff is very respectful the latest I've ever been seen was on time I'm trying to find the same experience somewhere else in the southeast, Georgia or Alabama

I have been using this clinic for almost 10 years, have had the same Doctor. I have zero complaints. If you have issues with the clinic, you are asking for things you are not qualified to receive, or do not know who to ask what questions. When care was not available to me at the clinic, I was given prompt attention via the Community Care, after referred there from the VA. You won't always get the answer you want, but you will get the answer that is correct, based upon what the can and cannot do. I LOVE the care I get here in Knoxville, and the fact that I no longer have to drive 100 miles each way to Johnson City. Be polite and respectful to you caregivers, and you will get the same in return, I have.

I read some of these reviews and can not believe the are real. I have been going here for about 7 years, and yes the leave some to be desired but over all they treat me with respect and take care of all m medical needs. They have been good to me.

Don't go if you can't find a babysitter they will cancel your appointment or make your caregiver stay outside in the car. With the kids.

Does the Knoxville Va clinic offer pain management? My brother and I are both disabled veterans and we are moving to the Knoxville area in January

Philip Davis | Oct 24, 2019
Kate Maloney | Oct 24, 2019

This is just a wellness clinic that can prescribe meds, clean your ears, and give a physical. They cannot do x-rays, fill scripts, treat an asthma attack, etc... They will refer you out for anything not minor, or you can go to Johnson City for further care. If you have an actual emergency--spiked fever, asthma, broken bone, etc... you can go to the ER. Rumour has it a VA hospital should open in Knoxville in about ten years. Hope this heps

I'm visiting from Illinois. 10% Service connected. VA Illiana is my primary healthcare. Can I visit without appointment on an issue not related to my disability?

Kevin Brobst | Oct 24, 2019
Eric Livesay | Oct 24, 2019

As long as you have a VA card. It's good nationally. But as stated you will have a long wait without an appointment. You might have a better chance going to Johnson City where the clinic is bigger and they have an actual ER wing.

Is the eye clinic still open to walk ins instead of appointment only what time do they close on Friday

Dale Coffman | Oct 24, 2019
Susan Ratliff | Oct 24, 2019

I believe the walk in is for fitting, broken glasses. If you want to see the doctor you need an appointment. The eye clinic is at the annex now with x-ray, down the road from the VA. Call 865-545-4592 for the main building and ask to be transferred to the eye clinic.

is there a phine number that actually works, i just keep getting a busy signal whenever i call

Justin Thompson | Oct 24, 2019
Stacie “Thomason” Thomason | Oct 24, 2019
