Providence Va Medical Center

Went for CT chest. Each staff member I had contact with was pleasant and helpful. Only my 2nd visit there.

Typical big government org. that cares little for the patient and more with getting bigger. I think that vets would be better served by getting rid of the VA and replace with private practice!

Horrible service. They will not help you get blood work done if you just want to get checked for STDs or diseases. The receptionist on the phone informed me that they only do blood work to those who have been exposed to the disease but how are we supposed to know we are exposed to something that you won’t test??? Then she told me to speak to my doctors about it. Really? Ignorance.
This is a requirement for my University and the Providence VA has made it very difficult just to get checked.

It's a mixed bag here sometimes it's good sometimes it's bad. Sometimes they save your life. Can't complain too much when you don't have to pay for anything.

Had a great visit with my uncle.
