Boise VA Medical Center

I have been a patient at the Boise VA for many years. I have great insurance and can choose to go elsewhere but I always go the the VA. With very few exceptions, the people on staff care and quite often bend over backward to help veterans. There are bad apples in every profession but to paint the VA as a terrible hospital because you had a bad experience isn't reasonable. The facility is old and dated but they're continually making upgrades and it shows. Parking is pretty difficult at times which can be frustrating so give yourself enough time to find parking. They're in the process of building a parking garage as of early 2018. That should help alleviate some of the parking trouble. If you are a veteran, the VA hospital is a great option for you to use as your primary care provider. If you haven't used the VA because of horror stories, please go in and make up your mind for yourself. I have been to other VA hospitals in larger cities and this one is by far the best VA hospital I've ever used.

This place is a joke. I've called about my meds over 6 times to different "referred" numbers. I've called the "advocate" line 3 times and finally spoke with a doctor who rushed me off the phone cause it was after work on a Friday. I hope they don't slack off and pass around another veteran with severe anxiety/depression, cause it might not end as well for them. I would love to speak with someone who actually has some say around there but I won't hold my breath.

The Boise VA Hospice, (BLDG 121, 2nd floor) showed compassion, great respect and sincere kindness for my father, as he was dying. The entire staff far exceeded our expectations and showed exemplary medical and people skills. A truly amazing group of people. We will be forever thankful for these “angels on earth”.

My husband is really taken care by his primary physician. He orders tests as needed and will call him personally with test results. How many doctors do you know that will do that? Boise V.A. is awesome!
