Wichita VA Medical Center

I was in the VA two weeks ago getting my yearly check up. I was sick. I complained to my Doctor and she said she couldn't find anything wrong with me, but I should go to the ER if I got worse. Why couldn't my Doctor examine me to see I had a sinus infection? The more time that went by the worse I got. I debated going to the VA ER because I didn't want to be sent home sick again. Thank God for Dr. Kimberly Graham. She deserves some praise. If everybody at the VA cared as much about their patients as Dr. Graham did you wouldn't have a bunch of sick veterans running around.

When a male Patient Request a male doctor and a male nurse that should be easy to accommodate. Hospital claims they are there to help vets but if your uncomfortable with the staff they leave you high and dry. Its a shame they Served our country And they don't even have a choice in their doctors and nurses. And in most cases they're restricted in going to a different hospital. They do allow you to bring a chaperone in the Room but if your chaperone has children and you have no one to watch them they will not allow you all to be in the room. I understand that most people do not care if they have a male doctor or female doctor or male nurse or female nurse But when someone does have a preference you should easily be able to accommodate preference Or they should be allowed to take their VA services elsewhere

I was concerned about using the VA when I retired from the Air Force 2 years ago. All I read about was how bad VA medical facilities were. In 2 years, I have never had issues getting an appointment and the personnel working there have been great. In fact the level of care is far superior than I have ever had anywhere else.

The staff is second to none, absolutely wonderful people! Facility is clean and well managed. Like most hospitals its confusing for a new person to get around, but the staff took time to escort me personally to wherever I needed to go. Thank you all!

I have no complaints whatsoever about the care I currently receive at this particular VA hospital. I love my primary care doctor. One of the things that worrys me about moving away from Wichita is leaving this healthcare situation.
