"Veteran care here is top notch. One of the best rated VA Hospitals, and its obvious. Treatment is prompt and accurate."
— MedicalRecords.com review"This place is the worst. Their upper management team can’t do their jobs properly and they don’t care at all about it."
— MedicalRecords.com review"Multiple staff did not recognize Patient 1’s personally owned insulin pump as a lethal means. As a result, staff did not remove the insulin pump, which allowed Patient 1 to subsequently use it to attempt suicide."
