There were no Primary Care providers in the VA system in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. It took about a year to finally get transferred to Community Cares. Community Cares called and left a message and I returned their calls until the referral expired and had to then start the process over. Once I got the referral started they passed me bogus doctors to call and schedule appointments with who were not part of the VA system. My referral expired. Started over. Same problem and just plodded along with Tricare for a while. I filed complaint after complaint and then finally received a date about 4 months out. I attended the visit and the doctor was of Eastern European decent, poor English, and truly seemed unsure how to do her job. I walked out of the appointment and never went back.
Hampton VA Medical Center leadership under fire after investigation reveals 'widespread failures'
The Inspector General report revealed "mismanaged surgical privileging actions and deficient surgical service quality management processes" at the Hampton VA.www.13newsnow.com
Sounds like Mountain Home V.A. several years ago. Enough complaints to Senator Phil Roe, who is also a licensed medical doctor, along with being our state Senator and was on the Veterans Senate Sub Committee, made multiple visits to the Mountain Home V.A replacing various administrators, and other employees to improve veteran healthcare at the Mountain Home V.A.M.H..
Veterans can check their V.A. hospital rating by asking Google: what is the _________ V.A. hospital (rating) or (ranked) in the (state) or (nationally)?
I was surprised to find Mountain Home has gone from one of the worst to number 4 in the top 25 V.A. hospitals in the last couple of decades.
