Houston Va Medical Center

The fact that it's free is awesome to me! They see hundreds of people daily; that's 100s of smiles, sicknesses, attitudes, and motivational conversations with people. Yet they do their best to keep that smile on our/their faces. If you believe something could be changed for better, there's drop boxes and I'm pretty sure they're always accepting applications. The place is FULL of vets (to include the people behind each desk and wall,) so it gives me more reason to smile because I'm surrounded by great people. While waiting, talk to someone nearby and joke or hear/share what y'all are going through. Either of you might be able to give advice to one another. All-in-all, thank you all for having patience with patients... Yes I had to say that cheesy joke. 😜

I once saw a Vet break in line to ask a short question. Staff answered his question with a short adequate answer. His follow on question was not so short and the answer was going to require some research. Staff asked him to wait (in line). He started getting a bit mouthy so I asked him how much he was paying for the service he was getting at the VA. He paused and reflected on it. He asked me if this was my polite way of telling him to shut up and go to the back of the line. I politely told him yes. He thanked me and went to the back of the line. Sometimes we forget, and need a little reminder.

Being 1st visit, asked for directions from 2 women and maybe they didn't like my hat but were extremely rude. 3rd women tells me to use a kiosk. If i wanted to use a kiosk, I would have went to the kiosk. Nurse doesn't even know why I am here because Dr.'s jacked up notes! I haven't even seen the new Dr. yet but will leave this right here!

If I could give them 0 stars I would. The medical staff here treat their patients as if we’re a thorn in their side and an inconvenience in their day. If you have an emergency you’d be better off going to a small walk in clinic up the street;They could probably get you in quicker. The hospital itself is a depressing environment, but when you feel as if the medical team could care less about you it enhances your negative mood.

Let’s not discuss the parking situation and the police offers who think they’re “God’s of the Parking Lot.”

A one stop location for all your medical needs. I have visited the Debakey Hospital dozens of times and had the best service and care on each visit. I highly recommend the DeBakey hospital for everyone. Drop by for a visit and see what I mean when I say the DeBakey hospital is one of the best hospitals in the nation.
