The best people in the world!

COMMUNICATION SUCKS. It takes up to 3 months to get an appointment. Doctors and staff don't return messages for days, weeks, sometimes never. I show up for an appointment and I'm told "the doctor cancelled, someone should have called you." The emergency department and mental health urgent care staff are fantastic, compassionate, and the most professional of them all.

The care that my Father-in-Law who is on the 7th floor at the VA has been exemplary! Everyone has been so kind and friendly, bent over backwards to answer questions or find someone that can, has been willing to accommodate my Father in Laws needs or wants and even the station nurses will say goodnight as you leave. This is the first time I have been to a VA hospital and I will be honest, I was not expecting such quality care. So thankful for this. Keep up the great work in a very challenging job!

Not perfect, but better than most VA hospitals I've been to. I was able to get appointments and prescriptions wothout any difficulty and received great care during ER visits. Anyways, most employees care about their patients and then you have employees there just for a pay check, just like anywhere else.

Where is the Greenhouse located on the VA hospital grounds. I'm not sure if it's building #147 or building #47. I live at the old Soldiers homes apartments on the VA grounds and I'm trying to locate a veteran friend of mine located at the Greenhouse

Robert Bradford | Jul 8, 2022
Gwen Sheppard | Jul 8, 2022

The Greenhouse is the newest housing facility on the far east side of the campus. Heading north on Mitchell Blvd coming off National, you can see them on the right side on top of the hill. I'm not sure which street to take to get there. It's probably the 2nd or third street right turn on Mitchell coming off National.

Cindy Braun | Nov 5, 2021

Depend on what kind of discharge and if you are covered by VA. If you are below a certain economic level you can get dental help. You just have to make that first step to call.
