I’m unable to take over the counter pain meds and prescribed pain killers due to kidney and liver disease. I have multiple health issues…18 surgeries since 2008 largely due to the burn pits in Iraq 03-04 and Camp Geiger Water Contamination. I rely on my chiropractor care and Accupuncture for pain relief quite heavily and it’s been a nightmare getting adequate renewals of my treatment. I refused to be treated by a particular chiropractor due to unethical charges of my son and bare minimum treatment at the Upper Sandusky location. So they refused to renew my Accupuncture to the lady I was seeing the last two years as punishment. Here’s the review for the clinic I refused treatment from: Dr Betty Lok Was a patient here a couple years ago. Paid out of pocket till I was sent by the VA to Dr Black. Transferred to their second clinic in Bucyrus. Had wonderful treatment and no issues getting my VA renewed and my autistic son treated that I paid out of pocket for. The reason why I transferred my son to Dr Black was because my son was man handled for an adjustment on his neck from jumping off the couch and landing on his head. I don’t know why the harsh treatment to my son…Dr Lok appeared to be in pain and under large amounts of stress but it was a nightmare for 2 years letting another doctor touch my child. It was a huge factor on requesting going to Dr Black. Dr Black gave wonderful care. It was obvious there were management and money issues at the main office in Upper. That’s when the overcharging for services started. Before Dr Black left the practice we were forced to pay for another physical for my son despite already having one 4 months prior to that in Bucyrus. “New patient fees” really?????? On top of that $370 more of services when I was supposed to spend $42 for an adjustment with Dr Black before he left the practice. My son’s appointment was with Dr Black and no one else but was being forced to do another physical basically against my consent. Now because I refused chiropractic treatment from the VA at this office and requested to be sent to another doctor…the VA in Mansfield refused to renew my acupuncture through another provider that I was seeing the last year or too. WOW…maybe if jet fuel wasn’t so expensive for someone’s the manager’s hobbies maybe we wouldn’t be getting overcharged for services. I know I’m not the only one with the complaints. A patient in front of me checking out to pay was quoted $106 by the doctor but her “manager” said $216. The patient was livid for being forced to pay double then what the doctor told her when she was checking out. I personally don’t feel Dr Lok is the issue…it’s the “manager” with no credentials of being a doctor who charged us $75 to run my son’s temperature, height, and weight and ask a few general health questions. People in Columbus and bigger cities don’t even overcharge like this place. I lived in Hawaii and when I paid for chiropractic services out of pocket it wasn’t even this expensive. Massachusetts VA gave unlimited chiropractic and Accupuncture services. Ohio sucks at caring for their veterans and families.
Never EVER have a problem at the CLE VA, Louis Stokes Center. I just had surgery with Doc Chapman, and he and his complete team anethesiologist, attending physicians, Nurses.. All of them so pleasant AND EFFICIENT. A+++++ rating!
The emergency room was empty when I came in coughing blood and having increasing difficulty breathing. It took them 49 minutes to see me; there wasn't even anyone at the emergency reception window for the first 9 minutes after I came in, calling for help. And when she finally did show up, she acted annoyed as if my medical emergency was somehow an inconvenience to her. Even after I was put on a bed, I was left unattended and with no machine observation. I'd already gone hypoxemic before it occurred to anyone to monitor my O2. If I hadn't managed to get my own breathing somewhat under control, I could easily have passed out and drown in my own vomit and no one would've even noticed. I've never seen an emergency room with so little sense of urgency, and it's disgraceful. I have a hard enough time convincing myself to see a doctor even when I really do need help; I am never coming back here again for anything less than being inches from death, and maybe not even then.
Checked in at the Emergency Department around 4am. I was having chest pains and short of breath. The receptionist was very curtious and friendly. Saw a doctor within 10 minutes. After admission to the hospital, everyone was kind and understanding. Care was equal to or better than UH Ahuja Medical Center. The hospital food is definitely way better at the VA than Ahuja. The VA Wade Park is 5 star.
The best hospital I have EVER received care at. I have been inpatient, regular care, and ER treated here and every time has been phenomenal. The staff are the definition of compassionate and competent.
Primary care front desk personnel do not care about your schedule preferences. They will set you at a date and time and won’t care to check for other available dates. They’ll simply tell you to take it or go away.
Need even a basic appointment? You need to call off work, cease all your plans you have for the day because need to dedicate the entire day to the VA just to schedule something. They redirect calls to either dead lines or answering machines with no call backs.Don’t bother calling to schedule anything. You have drive there and make any scheduling you need there due to the inadequate and incompetence of the front desk help . Their lunch breaks seem to start at 10am and don’t come back until around 2pm. So that leaves you with just a few hours for any sort of assistance if any.Thank you for your service
If you are African American Female Veteran Do not go there!! You will only encounter humiliation, rejection, depression while they conspire with each other NOT to treat you. Frfr. The providers think we all are featured on the First 48.
Always professional and courteous. Doctors, nurses and NA's are second to none... Best career over ever received
Get a second opinion outside the VA. If you're a real woman go somewhere else. Horrible inhumane treatment If I could give minus points I would I just left the ER where I overheard the doctor and nurses say "I hope she walks out" then laughed at me. No help horrible treatment horrible care
