I went in to pick up some meds this morning and saw this poster by the front door. Every time I come to the VA I see something that makes me proud to have their support. Thanks for all that you do for us!
The pharmacy is never a fast experience. Even when picking up a pre made shot. They verified it was in stock and still made me wait over an hour and 20 minutes. It shouldn’t take an hour to grab it out of the fridge and bag it.
What is it about VAs and their poor treatment of employees? That is the number one reason they can't keep decent, hardworking employees. Administrators refuse to work with staff. I recently requested accommodations that would have absolutely no effect on the program or other employees, due to a need to care for an ill family member, and the supervisor flat out refused. Like coming in 30 minutes later and leaving 30 minutes later would make a big difference. So I will keep looking for another job and leave this one without notice. They don't deserve notice.
Had swelling of hands and could never get a call through to schedule an appointment. Wound up paying out of pocket at a regular hospital. Thanks for your non service VA. Answer the darn phones.
The KC VA Dental Clinic over the past two months, to include this morning, has went beyond surpassing my expectations and has demonstrated an extraordinary level of skill and concern at a time where I require substantial specialized dental care. The entire staff is to be commended, but in particular Dr. Sams and Dr. Vanblarcom they arranged for me to have a procedure performed off-site at a private provider, and coordinated for immediate - same morning - follow-up care to provide me with a temporary dental prosthetic device. Truly appreciate these dedicated professionals.
It depends on who's in office. When the democrats rule the building is improved but staff seems to get cut. When the Republicans rule, patients have the best treatment and more staff is hired. The KC VA seems to stay balanced for the most part.
I hear really bad things about VA hospitals, but they exceeded my expectations when I went there to discuss a family member. It’s a large hospital, but everyone was helpful. Very impressed!
Arrived early to get lunch at the cafeteria with my fiancé. The food wasn't good and it wasn't cheap. I expected more for the men and women who served our country. Took my fiance to the emergency room a few years ago and the nurse was rude. Let the IV tubing drag on the dirty floor then connected it to the patient IV access. Disgusting. Drew blood and let it sit on a side table for awhile.
Prescription refill late/not refilled at all on MANY MANY MANY occasions. Problem is with the doctors not the pharmacy. I call in my prescription, and the doc has to approve it but often times my refill request gets completely over looked. Which means I go with out my medication and have to call repeatedly and deal with rude receptionists to get them to approve the refill. Unacceptable and unsatisfactory.
Beautiful campus all the way around. I've never been inside and was not wanting to at the present state of our nation is in, especially hospitals.
