Tampa Va Medical Center

They have the most compassionate people here it's not like other hospitals where you go in there and the first thing they want to know is what type of insurance you have and based upon that is what type of test you going to have and no run up that service to the max they done that to me a couple of times and Medicare and I reported them. But James a Haley VA Hospital they care about the individual they don't care about the money they have a love relationship with their patients you don't have that in that the hospital's you hardly ever see the nurses and when you call for them they hardly ever come but not at James a Haley you hit that button before it rings 5 times somebody usually answers the line yes sometimes it does take up to 10 when they're busy and a lot of patients are needing Care at the same time. And when you come to the VA James a Haley Hospital no matter what's wrong with you they fix everything ever hospitals they only fix what you reported in the ER was wrong with you and that is just plain stupid. Could you imagine if auto mechanics was like that know you just came in with a flat tire we can't change that leaky radiator you got to come back tomorrow and do that just so that they get another ER charge. That's why I love this hospital so much they take care of the whole person not just a piece of them what they can make money on.

The quality of care here is amazing. They pay attention to detail and always check and double check your charts before making a determination. This is a learning hospital for USF students and the quality of care taught at USF shows. These students know as much as a seasoned Dr and are very knowledgeable and versed as if they have been in the field for a long time. I'm glad to come here as I know I'm in good hands. I've never experienced the problems the VA is plagued to have.

Even with the construction happening, the personnel at the James A. Haley Veteran's Medical Center always have a smile on their face, are eager to assist anyome who needs it, and are ready to answer any questions (or find out the answer[s]) one may have.

God have mercy on you if you have to visit the ER. The wait times here are completely inhumane.

After 5 hours of sitting and suffering I left for another hospital. Paying out of pocket is better than going through this hell.

Under construction can't wait till they finish, the new spinal cord wing is great
