Review of W.G. (Bill) Hefner VA Medical ...

My experience at the VA has been great. I've seen many specialists and had to use the DR several times. Yes, it can seem a little slow.but the people are very kind. A quick trip to any other major medical center will remind you how good it is here! However being hospitalized here was substandard, depending who was working. Some of the nurses really have it together and some obviously feel their patients bother them from something more important.
Big note about 1 dr:
If I could give Dr Abella 0 stars I would. She was the hospitilist while I was at the VA. She withheld food and drink from me for 5 days while saying she was going to have a test run. When my family asked for her to abide by my wishes or they would transfer me, she said "don't do this, who would want to live like this?". It is not her right to question if I would want to live and then with hold necessities of life that I am asking for. I still use the VA but if I even see her, I'll run. She almost murdered me.
