If I could carry my Dr and her nurse with me to a different VA I would never step foot in the Ft Benning VA ever again.

The front two ladies are always polite, my PCM is fantastic (best I’ve ever had in the VA) and her nurse is awesome too BUT the “nurses” running the window for walk-in hours are always rude, making you feel like as a PT you’re bothering them to do their job, eye rolling

As other people have commented, appointments are two months out. I had a telehealth appointment this morning. I have been waiting for 15 minutes and no provider has entered the appointment. I tried to call the VA and it immediately sent me to voicemail saying they’re not open. They advertise that they open at 7am and it’s 8:45.

I’m going to start looking for other VA’s in Columbus.
