Great care at Spokane VA

Recently I had prostate surgery at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Spokane. The entire experience, from the diagnosis through pre-operation orientation, the surgery itself and the post-operative care, was wonderful. I couldn’t have had better care.

My wife decided that she would spend the time I was there with me in the same room. Once again, the VA staff went out of their way to make her comfortable and feel welcome.

A lot has been written and televised about problems with the VA hospitals and the care they provide. From my experience, the problems don’t seem to have affected the Spokane VA. One of my nurses used to work at one of the hospitals on the South Hill, and she said that this is the first hospital she has worked in where the patient really came first. She also said there is no set limit on the time spent to make the patient comfortable and their needs met at the VA.

So if you are thinking about whether you want to go to the VA for any medical treatment, give it a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
