I am not sure why there are so many negative posts about the Portland VA. I moved from VA to here about 4 years ago and went to the VA about a year after I got here. The care, speed of appointments and overall experience has been wonderful. I came from the greater VA/DC area where the VA hospital seemed nothing moire than a giant adult daycare center where people would just go and sit all day, many without appointments. Here at the PDX VA, things are different. Still a number of vets, but the folks seem to be getting better care, or at least when I sit and chat with some of them they say that. I just want to send a great thanks to all of the doc's there, but especially those people who work in Audiology, Vision, Sleep Center and the Pain Management team. those caring folks have kept me happy and well and are always looking out for my well being. Can't say enough about this team....maybe the best in the business..
