Proud of all the people in this establishment, ones who take care of our Country's most precious treasures. Praying that the Lord watches over all who walk or wheel through the doors.
My husband had surgery at the VA in WPB today. Everyone we spoke to was professional, kind and caring. The care and attention he received was even better than other hospitals we've been to. Everything ran smoothly, on time and i was updated often by his surgeon and nurses. The nurses even offered blankets to family members In the waiting room to help keep them warm.thank you for such a good experience.
I have been utilizing the West Palm Beach VA for the past 7 years and with the exception of a few glitches here and there, my care has been exceptional. Most of the people who work here are incredibly patient and dedicated and unfortunately they hear far more complaints than they do praises- I'd like to thank all of the hospital staff for taking such good care of me. The trick to navigating the VA medical system is to align yourself with a great primary care provider - without that, you are in for a very bumpy road. I am relocating to the Tampa area next week and hope that I will have the same kind of experience that I had here.
I always enjoy my visit to the VA. It's the best VA medical center that I've ever visited, hands down! Expert care providers who are willing to go the distance to ensure you're in good health!

I’m a veteran who is not complaining about the VA. After leaving the military, I struggled through a civilian healthcare system for nearly 20 years. Care isn’t the right term for what was happening. Then, as a veteran, I thought I should try the VA hospital. I was quite surprised. All the complaints might be real, but one in a hundred. I’ve seen problems in every hospital, and so much less problems at the VA. So, each person may see things differently based on what they needed, what they expected, and what was available.
You can’t walk in to a VA hospital like you are a king and start demanding care as if you paid for it. That’s not going to work. These are real doctors and nurses and many of them are veterans as well. Treat them with respect and you might get the help you need. They are limited to what they are allowed, by the Gov, to give you. There are way too many veterans suffering with depression and chronic pain. So, telling them of the long wait is difficult. But, if everyone in the line is suffering, no one can skip ahead. The ER can triage the most important injuries to go first, and get through fast. But the regular doctor appointments can’t sort out patients that way. Community based care is available to those who can’t wait 30 days for an appointment.
Meanwhile, not every veteran is eligible for everything. Services available are based on several factors. But those veterans who come in already angry and demanding are making the situation harder for everyone.
I have not gotten everything I wanted from the VA hospital. But I have gotten much better care there than I have received at civilian hospitals within 20 miles. I’ve had surgery there. I was nervous, but nothing went wrong. It’s a relief. As more and more veterans come off active duty, the VAMC will be more crowded and community care will be necessary. Veterans will be lucky to get an appointment at the VA. Though the VA health care system will still be paying, you could be seen at area hospitals that are even more limited.
I recently had experience at the Emergency room. The professionalism and overall care was excellent. It takes me 45 min to get to the VA so the reason I went is because of all the positive outpatient service I’ve had. This hospital is my choice. Thank You.
