I have worked here for 18 years. It is a privilege to serve the Veterans that have served our country. Our VA is the busiest VA in the top 5 of the country. For those that have had a long wait, unfortunately you are not the only Veteran we are caring for. Some Vets need more time than others....I ap...

Warning this is not a place to go if your really sick or hurt. If you think it is worse than where you came from then your wrong. There is a small percentage of staff that is very good but far to few. I came down here 13 years ago but due to family and jobs I could not leave. I could walk 2 & 1/4 mi...

Tampa VA is absolutely the worst hospital I have ever dealt with in 57 years. The employee's act like they don't even see you and all they are there for is to collect their pay check. The doctor's won't take the time to listen to you and can't be bothered to read your records either. The ER mixed my...

If I could give 0 stars I would. Doctors don't care about you or your well being, if you call your primary care doctor because you feel any sort of pain their response is, "If you're in pain just go to the ER." No? It's your job to TREAT your patient? I don't want to sit in an ER for hours before e...

This place is a hell hole. They don't care about veterans at all. They pump them with meds and send them on their way. Their staff is rude and impersonal. Unfortunately, the VA will only allow us to come to this hospital, which is an hour away from where we live. It's unbelievable.
