Portland VA Medical Center

The Portland VA Medical Center is a healthcare facility that provides exceptional care and attention to patients, particularly in its geriatric department. Led by Director Dr. Lamantia, the department offers empathetic and knowledgeable care. The medical center's surgical team, including Dr. Anisian, also provides high-quality care, with patients reporting satisfaction with their treatment and care from start to finish. The Portland VA Medical Center is generally praised for its care and hospitality, with patients noting the attentive and willing-to-assist staff. However, there may be occasional issues with pharmacy wait times and communication. The facility's ER can also be busy, leading to long wait times, but patients understand it's due to the high demand for care. While the overall experience is positive, some patients have reported minor concerns, such as with the sleep clinic's therapist's communication style. Despite these occasional challenges, the Portland VA Medical Center is considered a significant improvement in care compared to other VA facilities.
